League City homes are moving faster even with rates above 7%
Rates are above 7%. Prices dipped a little. And yet League City homes are moving faster than they did a year ago. That is the clearest thing the numbers say right now.
The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted that 31.6% of League City homes went under contract within two weeks of listing, in the three months ending August 31, 2026. That share is up 6.5 points from the same months a year before. Good homes are getting attention fast. Not every home, but nearly one in three.
What rates are doing right now
Freddie Mac put the 30-year fixed rate at 7.32% as of October 22, 2026. Realtor.com showed the average mortgage rate at 7.40% on the same day. Rates have been above 7% since at least September 2026, according to Realtor.com. That is real pressure on buyers.
Nationally, the National Association of Realtors reported existing-home sales reached 3.99 million units in September 2026. Existing-home prices rose 1.3% from a year earlier. The market is not frozen, even at these rates.
What the League City numbers say
These are the Real Estate Data Aggregator counts for ZIP 77573, the three months ending August 31, 2026.
The median sale price in ZIP 77573 was $399,995 in the three months ending August 31, 2026. That is down 4.8% from the same months of 2025, according to the Real Estate Data Aggregator. Prices dipped. That is honest. But homes sold in a median of 36 days, which is 9 days shorter than a year ago. Speed is up even as price is down a little.
Sellers got close to their asking price
The Real Estate Data Aggregator put the average sale-to-list ratio at 97.8% for the three months ending August 31, 2026. That is up 0.6 points from a year ago. Most sellers got within a few percent of what they asked. Not every home sold above list. The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 11.8% of homes selling above list price, nearly flat from a year ago.
More listings came to market
The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 544 new listings in ZIP 77573 in the three months ending August 31, 2026. That is up 13.1% from a year ago. More choices for buyers. But supply held steady at 3.2 months, unchanged from a year ago. New listings are coming in and moving out at about the same pace.
Nationally, the National Association of Realtors reported inventory at 1.60 million homes in September 2026. League City's 3.2 months of supply fits that picture of a market that is neither flooded nor empty.
