The latest numbers help answer one practical question how close are homes landing to their asking price?
If you need to know how much negotiating room is realistic before you make your next move, the clearest answer is that asking price is not the final number in most deals right now. In Katy, TX, recent accepted offers averaged 92.9% of asking, which gives both sides a useful baseline.
That pricing gap matters because it gives structure to decisions on both sides of a deal. A typical closed price was $302,500 over the previous 30 days, and a typical sale took 34 days. Recent supply was 3.49 months, which keeps the market from feeling wide open even though buyers are not generally paying full list.
I would not read those numbers as a signal to get aggressive for the sake of it. Sellers still have support from a seller-side market type, but buyers have evidence that negotiation is part of the process in Katy, TX. The active listing price was $356,000 last month, while pending homes were typically around $350,000 and newly pending homes were typically around $342,762, so pricing discipline remains central if you want momentum.
Use 92.9% of asking as a reality check before you set a price or write an offer. Compare your target home or listing against the recent closed price of $302,500 and the current asking range around it. Make decisions quickly when a home is positioned well, and negotiate carefully when the price already looks stretched. Keep your terms clean and your expectations grounded.
