It is difficult to make a blanket statement about whether or not now is a good time to buy real estate in Houston, Texas, as the market can vary depending on a variety of factors. However, there are a few key points to consider that may help you make a decision.First, it is important to look at the current state of the housing market in Houston. According to HAR.com, the median home value in Houston is currently $294,500, and the market is considered to be a "seller's market," with a relatively low number of homes for sale and high demand. Additionally, the median home value in Houston was at $305,000 last year in December. This suggests that home prices in Houston are currently falling, which may make it a good time to buy for those who are able to secure a property at a lower price be...
