Houston Home Affordability Is on the Rise, Why New Caney Is Worth a Closer Look

We have seen recent changes in the housing market since this time last year. According to a recent report from the Houston Association of Realtors, declining home prices and lower interest rates improved housing affordability throughout the second quarter of 2026.

This report highlighted that 40% of Houston-area households could afford a median priced home, which showed a 36% increase since this time last year. A big indicator is the household income needed to purchase a home decreased by 3.8% from $106,000 to $102,000. Median home prices have also decreased by 1.2%.
