Texas City moved faster even as prices and sales pulled back
The one fact that changes what you should do right now: in ZIP 77590, the Real Estate Data Aggregator counted a median of just 35 days on market for the three months ending July 31, 2026. That is 26 days shorter than the same period in 2025. Price your home right, and it can still move quickly here.
Two Texas City ZIP codes, two very different speeds
ZIP 77590 and ZIP 77591 sit side by side in Texas City, but they read like different markets right now. The Real Estate Data Aggregator shows 77590 selling at a median of 35 days. Next door in 77591, the median stretched to 80 days, 26 days longer than a year ago. That gap matters if you are choosing where to buy or how to price what you are selling.
| 77590 | 77591 | |
|---|---|---|
| Median sale price | $190,000 | $253,400 |
| Median days on market | 35 | 80 |
| Homes sold | 68 | 62 |
| Under contract within two weeks | 30.3% | 16.9% |
| Months of supply | 5.1 | 4.3 |
Speed is the real story in 77590
Nearly 3 in 10 homes in 77590 went under contract within two weeks of listing. The Real Estate Data Aggregator put that share at 30.3%, up 8.9 points from a year ago. That is the clearest sign that well-priced homes here are not sitting.
Yes, the median sale price in 77590 dropped 13.2% year over year, according to the Real Estate Data Aggregator. Fewer homes sold too, down 20%. Those are real pullbacks. But the homes that were priced well found buyers fast. That is the honest picture: a softer market that still rewards good pricing.
77591 has more supply and more patience required
In 77591, the Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 80 median days on market. That is 26 days longer than a year ago. Homes sold dropped 25.3%. The median sale price came in at $253,400, down 11.1%. Sellers here need to build more time into their plans.
One bright spot: the sale-to-list ratio in 77591 held at 97.3%, only down 1.4 points, according to the Real Estate Data Aggregator. Homes that do sell are still closing close to asking price. That tells you the problem is not buyers walking away on price. It is homes sitting longer before an offer arrives.
La Marque (77568) held steadier than both
La Marque's 77568 ZIP showed a different pattern. The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 172 homes sold, the highest volume of any ZIP in this buy box. The median sale price was $280,000, down 6.5%. Days on market came in at 75, which is 13 days longer than a year ago, but well below 77591's 80 days.
The sale-to-list ratio in 77568 actually improved. The Real Estate Data Aggregator put it at 96.7%, up 3.6 points from a year ago. Months of supply held at 4.3, unchanged. That is the most stable reading in this group.
Rates crossed 7% nationally. That matters here too.
Realtor.com reported that mortgage rates topped 7% for the first time since January 2025, in September 2026. CNBC reported the average 30-year fixed rate at 7.30% as of September 30, 2026. Higher rates slow buyers down everywhere. They are part of why sales counts fell across all three ZIP codes.
Even so, the speed numbers in 77590 say some buyers are still moving. They are just being more selective. A home priced to the current market, not last year's, is the one they pick.
What the sale-to-list numbers tell sellers
In 77590, the Real Estate Data Aggregator put the average sale at 94.8% of list price. That is down 1.5 points from a year ago. In plain terms: if you list at $200,000, the average sale came in around $189,600. Overpricing by even a little pushes you into the slower pile.
In 77591, that ratio held at 97.3%. Homes that sold there were priced closer to where buyers agreed to go. The gap between the two ZIP codes on speed, not price ratio, is the real story.
- Prices are down across Texas City and La Marque in the three months ending July 31, 2026. Sales are down too.
- But 77590 is selling faster than it did a year ago, with nearly 3 in 10 homes under contract within two weeks.
- La Marque (77568) is the steadiest of the three.
- 77591 is taking the longest.
- One ZIP code can read very differently from the one next to it.
