Howe's housing market is giving buyers more room to compare homes, while sellers are dealing with lower list prices and a large new-construction pipeline, according to the latest public data available Monday, June 8, 2026.
Realtor.com's Howe market summary, with key indicators listed as of April 2026, showed 109 homes for sale, 23 homes for rent, a $310,000 median listing price and a $322,000 median sold price. The same report put the city's median price at $185 per square foot and median days on market at 69.
Those numbers point to a market that is active, but not overheated. Realtor.com said Howe was a buyer's market in March 2026, meaning supply was greater than demand. Its sale-to-list ratio was 100%, indicating homes sold for about asking price on average in that data set.
Prices and Inventory
The clearest shift is inventory. Realtor.com reported active listings up 4.35% from a year earlier and up 7.46% from the previous month. At the same time, the median listing price was down 5.78% year over year and down 6.77% month over month.
The pace is mixed. Realtor.com's median days on market, 69 days, was up 30.19% year over year, suggesting homes are taking longer than last year. But it was down 4.17% from the previous month, meaning the latest monthly movement was a little faster. The 75459 ZIP code, which covers Howe, had 107 homes for sale and a 68-day median time on market in the same Realtor.com table.
Redfin's sale-side data gives a lower price reading. Its April 2026 Howe market page reported a $234,879 median sale price, down 24.1% from a year earlier. Redfin counted 19 homes sold in April, compared with 22 a year earlier, and reported a 63-day median time on market, down from 181 days a year earlier. Redfin's sale-to-list ratio was 97.8%, up 0.5 points year over year.
That difference between Realtor.com and Redfin is important. Realtor.com is emphasizing listing-market metrics, while Redfin's headline figure is based on closed-sale data over its market window. For readers, the practical takeaway is that asking prices, sale prices and short-window snapshots will not always line up in a smaller market such as Howe.
Orchard's latest 30-day Howe snapshot, accessed June 8, also pointed to a slower, more negotiable market. It reported a $315,000 median sale price, down 1.6% year over year, and 9.6 months of supply, up from 3.08 months a year earlier. Orchard also reported a 93.26% sale-to-list ratio, down 2.3 points year over year, with 0% of homes selling above list price and 40% of listed homes showing price drops.
New Construction Stays Prominent
New construction remains a major part of the Howe story. Realtor.com's new-construction search page for Howe showed 72 new-construction homes and a $380,000 median listing home price for that search page. The page listed communities and builders including Centex Homes' Cottonwood community, Starlight Homes at Noble Ridge and Lennar's Noble Ridge communities.
The same Realtor.com new-construction page showed several entry points below the citywide median listing price. Examples included Lennar's Idlewood Plan from $235,999, Starlight's Larissa Plan from $253,990 and Lennar's Morrow Plan from $266,999. It also showed higher-priced or larger new-construction listings, including 1507 Enloe Road at $521,735 after a $10,000 price cut and 711 S. Farmington Road at $275,000 after a $24,000 price cut.
