Greater Houston homebuyers are falling in love with communities that offer pockets of affordability, according to a ranking from the Houston Association of REALTORS\u00ae<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The association ranked the Houston-area neighborhoods with the greatest annual increase in transactions to determine which neighborhoods grew most in popularity among homebuyers in 2025 and found that seven of the top 10 had average home prices below the area median average of $416,722<\/a>.<\/p>\n
