Pearland has split into faster and slower pockets

Real estate, Pearland

Mortgage rates climbed above 7% for the first time since January 2025, according to Realtor.com. That matters everywhere. But in Pearland, the bigger story is what is happening street by street. The Real Estate Data Aggregator tracked four ZIP codes here, and they are not moving the same way.

How fast homes are selling, by ZIP code

That 73-day figure in 77047 is not a typo. The Real Estate Data Aggregator shows it is 30 days longer than the same period last year. That is a meaningful shift for sellers in that part of Pearland.

The faster side: 77581 and 77584

In 77581, the Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 137 homes sold. Days on market dropped 8 days from last year. Pending sales rose 6.9%. Nearly 36 in 100 homes went under contract within two weeks of listing.

In 77584, 238 homes sold, the most of any ZIP code here. The median price held at $375,000, unchanged from last year. The share of homes selling above list jumped 9.3 points, according to the Real Estate Data Aggregator.

The middle: 77089

ZIP code 77089 sits between the two speeds. The Real Estate Data Aggregator shows a median of 40 days on market, 11 days longer than last year. Still, the median sale price rose 3.6% to $285,000. That is the only ZIP in this group where prices went up year over year.

The slower side: 77047

This is where the split is sharpest. The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 73 median days on market in 77047. That is the slowest pace of any ZIP here, and it is getting slower. A year ago, homes in this ZIP sold in about 43 days.

In 77047, only 7.3% of homes sold above list price, down 11.3 points from last year, per the Real Estate Data Aggregator. New listings rose 6.2% even as sales slipped 5.9%. More homes coming in, fewer going out. That adds up to 5.5 months of supply.

What the national picture adds

Nationally, CNBC reported the average rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage at 7.50% as of October 14, 2026. Realtor.com noted that 20.8% of listings nationally took a price cut in September, the highest share since October 2022. Pearland is not alone in feeling pressure. But the local split here is sharper than the national average suggests.

What this means for your home

A pricing plan built for 77584 or 77581 will not work the same way in 77047. The faster ZIPs have under 3.2 months of supply. The slower one has 5.5 months. That gap changes how you price, how long you wait, and what you can expect.

Also worth knowing: a Pearland mailing address does not always mean Pearland ISD. School district lines do not follow city lines here. Always verify the ISD by the specific address before you buy.
