Rates are above 7%. That is real. Freddie Mac put the 30-year fixed average at 7.24% as of October 29, 2026. But League City buyers are still moving. The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 399 homes sold in ZIP 77573 in the three months ending August 31, 2026. That is a lot of decisions made in a high-rate market.

Thirty-six days. That is the median time a League City home sat before going under contract, per the Real Estate Data Aggregator. A year ago it was 45 days. Nine days shorter matters. It means a well-priced home is not waiting long.

Speed is up. Price is down a little.

The Real Estate Data Aggregator puts the median sale price in ZIP 77573 at $399,995 for the three months ending August 31, 2026. That is down 4.8% from the same months in 2025. A small dip. Not a collapse. Homes are still selling, just at a slightly lower middle price.

Nearly 1 in 3 homes went under contract within two weeks.

The Real Estate Data Aggregator found that 31.6% of League City homes in ZIP 77573 went under contract within two weeks of listing, in the three months ending August 31, 2026. That share is up 6.5 points from a year ago. Not every home sold fast. But a meaningful share did.

More homes came to market. Buyers had more to choose from.

New listings in ZIP 77573 rose 13.1% from a year ago, per the Real Estate Data Aggregator. That is 544 new listings in the three months ending August 31, 2026. More supply usually gives buyers breathing room. Here it did not slow things down much. Days on market still fell.

How League City compares with the country

Realtor.com reported the national median days on market at 64 days for the week ending October 24, 2026. The Real Estate Data Aggregator puts League City at 36 days for the three months ending August 31, 2026. That is 28 days faster than the national figure. The National Association of Realtors reported that existing-home prices rose 1.3% nationally in September 2026. League City's median dipped 4.8% over the same stretch. The national trend and the local one are not the same story.

What this means if you plan to sell

The Real Estate Data Aggregator shows sellers got 97.8% of their list price on average in the three months ending August 31, 2026. Up 0.6 points from a year ago. That is close to full price. Pricing matters. A home priced right is still getting offers. One priced too high is sitting.

Pending sales in ZIP 77573 ticked up 0.7% from a year ago, per the Real Estate Data Aggregator. 434 homes went pending in the three months ending August 31, 2026. Buyers are out there. They are just being careful.

What this means if you plan to buy

Freddie Mac averaged the 30-year fixed rate at 7.24% as of October 29, 2026. That is real cost. The 15-year fixed averaged 6.60% the same week, per Freddie Mac. Neither number is low. But 399 League City buyers made a decision anyway in the three months ending August 31, 2026. Some homes are moving in two weeks. If you wait for the right one, knowing the pace helps.
