    Useful data drop. Worth comparing against Central TX since the spreads tell a story. Bell County March 2026 ran median $268K (down 1.1% YoY), DOM 47, and roughly $148/sqft on the SFH side. Houston's $330K median and 67 DOM puts it about 23% higher on price but 30% slower on absorption. McLennan (Waco) was tighter — $245K median, DOM 41 — because there's less new-construction overhang there.

     The pattern in 2026 across all three: the 1.5% YoY price drop is concealing a steeper unit-mix shift. Builders cut $10-25K off new construction below $350K to clear inventory, which pulled the median down without resale prices actually softening that much. Houston's loop and Bell County's hospital-district resale stock held flat to up; the suburbs and new-build pods took the hit.

     If you're looking at YoY median as a buying signal, separate new vs resale before drawing conclusions. The TX market right now is two different markets stacked on top of each other.
