Housing in Baytown
Baytown's housing market is affordable but softening, with the base record's own Redfin figure showing a year-over-year price decline and longer time on market than tighter-moving peers in this dataset.

Learn moreA declining median, per the base record
The base record cites a Redfin-sourced median sale price of $239,320 for June 2026, down 4.3% year over year, with a median price per square foot of $136 (up 2.6% YoY) -- a genuinely softer trend than Pasadena's rising median in the same source family (Redfin, retrieved 2026-08-21).
Longer time on market, with some spread across sources
Homes in Baytown were reported selling in around 57 days on average (up from 43 days a year earlier), receiving about 1 offer on average. Other snapshots from the same broad source family cited 69 days for new-construction listings specifically and 48 days to reach pending status (Redfin-derived aggregation, retrieved 2026-08-22) -- treated here as a range (roughly 48-69 days depending on the metric and home type) rather than one precise figure, and notably slower than Pasadena's figures in this dataset.
A lower outlier figure exists and is disclosed
One neighborhood-aggregator source (bestneighborhood.org) cited a considerably lower Baytown median of $204,853, versus the base record's Redfin-sourced $239,320. As with Pasadena, this likely reflects a different methodology rather than a genuinely different market reality, and the Redfin-sourced figure is treated as the more reliable citywide median.
Key takeaways
- Baytown's median sale price was $239,320 as of June 2026 (Redfin), down 4.3% year over year -- a softer trend than several other cities in this Houston-satellite dataset.
- Days on market ran roughly 48-69 days depending on the source and home-type filter, up from about 43 days a year earlier -- a genuinely slowing market compared with Pasadena in this same dataset.
- A lower median ($204,853) surfaced from a separate aggregator source and is disclosed as a disagreement, with the Redfin-sourced figure treated as more reliable.
- Confirm current listing-level data directly given both the softening trend and the spread across sources found this session.
