Housing Market in Pearland
Pearland's citywide median sale price ran about $377,774 in May 2026 per Redfin, roughly flat year-over-year (-0.06%) -- a figure broadly consistent with a separate January 2026 snapshot of about $372,000 (down 2.2% year-over-year). Within the five-suburb Houston-area batch this dataset tracks, that puts Pearland cheaper than The Woodlands ($649,646) and Sugar Land ($491,233), close to League City ($399,761), and somewhat above Katy ($351,109).

Learn moreThe City-Wide Figure, and Its Consistency
Redfin's Pearland, TX housing-market page cited $377,774 for May 2026, essentially flat year-over-year (-0.06%). A separate January 2026 snapshot cited a close $372,000, down 2.2% year-over-year -- the two figures broadly agree with each other, a meaningfully tighter spread than several other Houston-area suburbs in this dataset showed this session (Melbourne and city-of-Houston figures, for comparison, disagreed by tens of thousands of dollars across sources).
A Multi-County Footprint Complicates Any Single Figure
As with Katy, Pearland's city limits cross three counties (Brazoria primary, with slivers in Harris and Fort Bend), which means a citywide figure like Redfin's blends inventory across county lines rather than describing one uniform tax-and-zoning jurisdiction. This research pass did not find a county-by-county breakdown of Pearland-specific home prices -- treat the citywide figure as the best available number, not a precise reflection of every part of the city.
An Honest Gap: No Confirmed Pace-of-Market Figure
This research pass did not turn up an independently confirmed days-on-market, offers-per-listing, or absorption-rate figure specific to Pearland. Anyone actively house-hunting should pull current MLS or Redfin pace data for their target neighborhood directly rather than assuming a citywide characterization of how fast homes are moving.
Where Pearland Sits in the Houston-Suburb Field
Among the five Houston-area suburbs this dataset tracks, Pearland's $377,774 median lands in the middle of the pack: well below The Woodlands ($649,646) and Sugar Land ($491,233), close to League City ($399,761), and above Katy ($351,109), the most affordable of the batch. Pearland's value proposition, per the base record, is newer suburban housing at a lower price point than Sugar Land or The Woodlands, paired with an A-rated school district (see the schools topic page).
