League City homes are moving faster, even with rates at 7.40%
You are watching rates and wondering if buyers have given up. They have not. Freddie Mac put the 30-year fixed rate at 7.40% as of October 15, 2026. That is real money every month. Even so, the Real Estate Data Aggregator counted a median of 36 days on market in ZIP 77573 for the three months ending August 31, 2026. That is 9 days shorter than the same period a year ago.
Nine days shorter. That matters when you are carrying a home or waiting to close on your next one.
How League City compares with the country
The National Association of Realtors reported that existing-home sales nationally reached 3.99 million units in September 2026. Realtor.com put the national median days on market at 61 days for the week ending October 10, 2026. League City's 36-day median is well below that national figure.
Prices dipped a little
The Real Estate Data Aggregator put 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 period in 2025. A small dip, not a collapse. Sellers are pricing to meet buyers where they are.
Sellers are getting close to their asking price
The Real Estate Data Aggregator shows homes in ZIP 77573 sold at 97.8% of list price on average. That is up 0.6 points from a year ago. Sellers are not giving away large discounts. Buyers are not walking away empty-handed either.
Nearly 1 in 3 homes went under contract within two weeks
The Real Estate Data Aggregator found that 31.6% of homes in ZIP 77573 went under contract within two weeks of listing, for 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
The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 544 new listings in ZIP 77573 for the three months ending August 31, 2026. That is up 13.1% from the same period in 2025. Buyers have more to choose from. Sellers have more competition. The 3.2 months of supply held steady from a year ago, so the balance has not shifted sharply in either direction.
What the rate means in plain terms

These are ZIP-code numbers. One street can read very differently from the whole ZIP. A home on a quiet cul-de-sac may sit longer or move faster than the median says. Reply and I will tell you what is happening closest to your address.
