The median sale price of a home sold in the first quarter of 2024 in Galveston County fell by $9,540, while total sales decreased by 4.9%, according to BlockShopper.com.

From January through March of 2024, 333 homes were sold in the county, with sale prices around $145,060. This is a 6.2% decrease from the $154,600 median sale price during the same period in 2023, when there were 350 homes sold.

The U.S. housing market has soared in recent years, with its total value nearing $50 trillion in 2024. This is almost five times greater than the market's value in 2000.

“The value of America’s housing market will likely cross the $50 trillion threshold in the next 12 months as there are not enough homes being listed to push prices down,” said Redfin Economics Research Lead Chen Zhao.
