Here is the clearest read on pricing and pace right now.
If you are trying to decide whether to move now or wait, the answer depends on how much room you want for negotiation. In Katy, TX, last month's numbers pointed to a market where buyers still had options, but they also needed to stay disciplined on price and timing.
Last month, months of inventory stood at 3.72, sold at 94.7% of asking, and a typical sale took 32 days. That combination tells me Katy, TX is not a market where buyers can afford to drift. You still have choice, but not so much choice that strong listings can be ignored for long.
For a buyer, the main signal is leverage with limits. Katy, TX is giving you enough supply to compare homes carefully, yet the 94.7% sold-to-list figure tells me attractive homes are still moving close to asking. I would keep my search focused and be ready to act when a property fits your budget and your timeline.
Get pre-approved before you start touring. Keep your offer clean and realistic. If a home checks your boxes, do not spend too long debating it.
