That last part matters more than it used to. In a market carrying thousands of active listings, good homes sit when the price, the photos, or the plan are off. Matt's work is fixing exactly that — pricing to what similar homes actually sold for, presenting the home so it earns showings, and reading buyer feedback early enough to act on it.

Buying & selling in Houston
Houston is running about 5.5 months of housing inventory — close to balanced, leaning toward buyers. That rewards preparation on both sides of the table.
Selling your home
Pricing set from the last 90 days of comparable sales — not last year's numbers and not the asking prices down the street. Fresh photos, a real showing plan for the first two weeks when traffic is heaviest, and honest feedback after every showing.
Start with a home-value conversation →Buying a home
With more than 41,000 homes on the Houston market, buyers can compare and take their time — but well-priced homes still move. Matt helps you get pre-approved, read a neighborhood's numbers instead of the citywide average, and act when the right home shows up.
Talk through your search →Your listing expired?
An expired listing is rarely a failed home — it's usually a price the market already answered. Matt works with sellers whose listings expired to correct the price, refresh the presentation, and relaunch with a plan that gets a different result.

In the week of October 20–26, 2026 alone, 2,039 Houston-area homes came off the market without selling. Most expired for the same handful of reasons — and most of them are fixable.
- 1Price to the comps, not to last year. Buyers see every comparable sale on their phone. A home listed above recent sales gets skipped — and each week on the market makes the next buyer wonder why.
- 2The first two weeks matter most. That's when a listing gets its heaviest showing traffic. A price cut in week six reaches a fraction of the buyers the right price reaches in week one.
- 3Read the feedback honestly. No showings usually means price or presentation. Showings but no offers usually means price or condition. Both point back to price.
- 4Don't just re-list at the same number. The market already saw the home at that price. A corrected price, fresh photos, and a real showing plan are what change the outcome.
Houston market insights
Straight answers to the questions Houston buyers and sellers are actually asking right now — with the numbers and sources behind them. Updated November 10, 2026.
What is the median home price in Meyerland?
$568,000. That was the median sale price for single-family homes in Meyerland in the third quarter of 2026 — half sold for more, half for less — across 32 closed sales. Houston's overall median was $325,000 in September 2026, so Meyerland runs about 75% above the citywide figure.
Why monthly numbers bounce around: Meyerland is a small market — about 10 or 11 homes sell in a typical month — so one month's median can swing sharply on a couple of closings. The quarterly figure across 32 sales is the steadier number to use.
What it means: for buyers, $568,000 is the middle of the Meyerland market; homes are listed across a wide range, so options exist below the median, but the typical single-family home here costs well more than the Houston average. For sellers, homes priced near the market moved in about five weeks in the third quarter. Pricing well above recent sales is what stretches a listing out.

Why do listings expire in Southwest Houston — and what should sellers do?
Usually, price. Listings in Southwest Houston most often expire because the asking price is higher than what today's buyers will pay. With 5.5 months of inventory across Houston, buyers have more homes to choose from and more time to decide — a home priced above the market gets fewer showings, no offers, and the listing runs out its term.
How often it happens: in the week of October 20–26, 2026, 2,039 homes went off the market in the Houston metro area without selling — withdrawn, terminated, or expired, per HAR's Weekly Activity Snapshot. In September 2026, 7,030 single-family homes sold across Houston while active listings stood at 40,192: more homes competing, fewer selling.
The other reasons: higher rates (Freddie Mac put the 30-year fixed average at 7.24% on October 29, 2026, against 6.17% a year earlier) shrink the buyer pool at any given price; and in a market with 40,000-plus homes for sale, buyers pick the ones that show best — deferred maintenance, dated finishes, and poor photos cost showings.
- Price to what similar homes sold for in the last 90 days — not what they listed for, and not what you need from the sale.
- Protect the first two weeks: that's the heaviest showing traffic a listing ever gets.
- No showings usually means price or presentation; showings but no offers usually means price or condition.
- Don't re-list at the same price. The market already answered that number.
An expired listing is not a failed home. Most expired listings that come back with a corrected price, fresh photos, and a real showing plan sell — the home usually wasn't the problem.

Note: HAR does not publish an expired-only or Southwest Houston–only count; the 2,039 figure is the whole metro area and includes withdrawn and terminated listings.
What does 5.5 months of housing inventory mean for Houston?
It means Houston is close to a balanced market, leaning slightly toward buyers. At September's selling pace, it would take about five and a half months to sell every home currently for sale in Houston if no new homes were listed. Nationally the figure was 4.8 months — Houston has more supply relative to demand than the country as a whole.
How to read it: about 6 months of supply is balanced — neither side has a clear edge. Below about 5 months, sellers generally have the advantage; above about 7, buyers do. Months of inventory is homes for sale divided by homes selling per month — a snapshot of the balance, not a forecast.
For buyers: more choice and more time — but don't read it as bargains everywhere. Well-priced homes still move, and buyers are being careful, not absent. The advantage goes to the buyer who is prepared: pre-approved, clear on budget, ready to act.
For sellers: competition. Your home is one of 41,000-plus. Price and presentation decide how fast it sells; overpriced homes sit, and sitting listings are the ones that end up expiring.
One caution: it varies by neighborhood. In Q3 2026, Meyerland had 82 homes in inventory against 32 sales for the quarter; Willow Meadows had 65 against 41. Ask for the number where you actually live before deciding what it means for you.
