Houston Buyers Still Want Traditional Charm-And Prices Aren't Budging
Briefly

In Houston, Colonial and American Traditional homes dominate the architecture market, comprising 9% of active listings. Their enduring appeal, characterized by classic symmetrical layouts and brick exteriors, makes them especially attractive in a rising price environment. The median listing price for houses in Houston is significantly lower than the national average, positioning the city as a valuable market. These styles show a solid appreciation in value, highlighting their appeal for buyers looking for both stability and depth in their investments.
"When it comes to Colonial or American Traditional homes, buyers who love a classic, timeless look are always interested," said Phillip Gazca, Regional Manager at Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate. "There's something solid and familiar about them, the kind of house you might picture during a holiday dinner scene in a movie".
Nationally, Colonial and American Traditional homes have a median construction year of 1996, with most falling into the category of move-in ready but with opportunities for updates.
