Freddie Mac put the 30 year fixed rate at 7.18% as of November 5, 2026. That is not low.

Even so, one ZIP code in Pasadena is still moving fast. ZIP 77503 had just 2.8 months of supply.

The Real Estate Data Aggregator also found 41.9% of homes there went under contract within two weeks of listing, for the three months ending August 31, 2026.

If you are selling in 77503, that is good news. Priced right, your home can move quickly.

If you are buying there, be ready to act. Homes are not sitting long.

Not every Pasadena ZIP looks like this

ZIP 77506 tells a different story. The Real Estate Data Aggregator shows median days on market there at 65 days, 16 days longer than a year ago.

Only 15.2% of homes in 77506 went under contract within two weeks, for the three months ending August 31, 2026.

That is a big gap between two Pasadena ZIP codes just a few miles apart.

Homes there sold at 98.4% of list price, the highest sale to list ratio in this market.

Nationally, the picture is slower. Redfin put the median U.S. mortgage payment at $2,786, near a record high.

Pending home sales nationally fell 16.4% year over year, per Redfin, the lowest in their records.

That makes what is happening in 77503 stand out even more. Local conditions can run against the national trend.

In short
  1. Rates are high nationally, but 77503 in Pasadena is still tight and fast.
  2. A few miles away, 77506 is slower.
  3. One street can look nothing like the ZIP code average.

Your own street may not match either story. That is normal. Numbers for a ZIP code blend a lot of different homes.
