Friendswood Market Update — June 2026

The Headline Numbers

Every six months I pull the full HAR MLS picture for the markets I work — not just the solds, but the actives, the pendings, and the listings that failed. Here's where Friendswood stands as of June 10, 2026, based on the six months starting December 12, 2025.

Friendswood closed 339 sales at a median price of $429,990 — call it $430K — and a median of $177.75 per square foot. Closed prices ran from $169,000 up to $2,300,000. The median listing went from market to contract fast: 20 days on market, which makes Friendswood the fastest of the four markets I track — quicker than Clear Lake (22.5 days), Pearland (25), and League City (26).

Sellers who closed did well on price: 98.5% of final list price and 97.1% of the original asking price. New construction played a real but modest role — 44 of the 339 closings were new builds. On the supply side, there are 181 active listings right now with 79 more under contract, which works out to 3.2 months of supply — balanced territory, with a tilt toward sellers who price correctly.

Month to month, the shape was what you'd expect plus some mix noise. December (which my data window only catches from the 12th onward) logged 57 closings at a high $520,000 median. January and February slowed to 36 and 39 closings with medians around $406,500 and $408,990. Spring brought the ramp: 49 closings in March at $435,111, then April peaked at 73 closings — the busiest month of the window — at a $410,000 median. May ran 59 closings at $390,000, and the first ten days of June produced 26 closings at a $552,950 median. Don't read the December and June medians as price surges — partial months with a luxury closing or two in the mix will swing a median hard. The volume story is the reliable one: the spring market showed up.

Avalon

Avalon was Friendswood's luxury volume story this cycle: 27 closings at a $775,000 median, with sales ranging from $545,000 to $1,394,999. Here's the detail that matters — 25 of those 27 closings were new construction. This is a builder-driven market right now, which explains both the 52-day median DOM (builder closings run on their own clock) and the 94.8% close-to-list ratio (there's more negotiating room on a builder spec than on a sharp resale).

The supply picture is striking: just 3 active listings against that sales pace — 0.7 months of supply, the tightest of any neighborhood in this report. If you've been waiting for an Avalon resale, there is essentially nothing to wait on; buyers here are mostly choosing among new builds, and sellers with a finished home in Avalon are looking at very thin competition.

Friendswood Lakes

Let me be direct about the sample size: Friendswood Lakes closed only 3 sales in six months, so every number in that grid is directional at best. The three that did close were impressive — a $900,000 median (range: $600,000 to $1,300,000), a blistering 8-day median DOM, and 100% of list price. When the right home hits this neighborhood at the right number, it's gone in a week with no haircut.

The flip side: 5 listings failed against those 3 sales — a 62.5% fail rate, the highest in this report, though again, on tiny numbers. My read is that Friendswood Lakes is a thin, binary market right now: priced-right homes vanish, ambitious ones sit and die. With 2 actives and 2 pendings, there isn't enough volume for either buyers or sellers to lean on comps — this is a neighborhood where current, street-level pricing judgment matters more than any spreadsheet.

Falcon Ridge

One note before the numbers: these Falcon Ridge stats include the Lakes of Falcon Ridge section, and at 7 closed sales this is another small sample — read it as a sketch, not a portrait. The sketch is encouraging for sellers on price: a $585,000 median (sales ranged $387,100 to $618,000) and a perfect 100% of list price on both final and original asking. Sellers who closed here didn't give an inch.

The caution flag is inventory. Eight active listings against this sales pace puts Falcon Ridge at 6.9 months of supply — the heaviest in this report and well into buyer's-market arithmetic, with only 1 pending. The median active is asking $500,950, below the recent closed median, which suggests current sellers are already adjusting. If you're listing here, the recent comps say full price is achievable — but the supply math says don't test the market with a stretch number, because 4 listings already failed trying.

West Ranch

West Ranch turned in the steadiest luxury performance in Friendswood: 26 closings at a $694,950 median — essentially $695K — ranging from $490,000 to $1,225,000, at $197.14 per square foot. Homes took a measured 36 days to go under contract and closed at 97.8% of list. That's a healthy, functioning move-up market, and its 27.8% fail rate is the lowest among the Friendswood neighborhoods I track — West Ranch sellers are, on the whole, pricing realistically.

Worth watching: 20 active listings puts West Ranch at 4.6 months of supply, with the median active asking $762,500 — about $67K above the recent closed median. Buyers have real selection here for the first time in a while, and the asking-versus-closing gap gives well-prepared buyers a negotiating lane. Sellers can absolutely still win in West Ranch; they just can't coast on the neighborhood name.

Heritage Park

Heritage Park was the workhorse of the Friendswood market — 52 closed sales, by far the most of any neighborhood in this report, at a median of $312,500 (range: $189,000 to $410,000). The velocity matched the volume: 19.5 days median DOM and 98.9% of list price, the strongest close-to-list ratio of the six neighborhoods. At 2.9 months of supply with 25 actives and 11 pendings, this is the most liquid, most competitive segment of Friendswood — entry-level demand here is real and constant.

One thing buyers should know going in, because it surprises people: Heritage Park is zoned to Clear Creek ISD — Clear Brook High School — not Friendswood ISD, despite the Friendswood address. For some buyers that's a dealbreaker, for others CCISD is exactly what they want; either way, know it before you write an offer. School campus assignments are address-specific — always confirm the specific assignment for any address before purchasing.

Wilderness Trails

Like Friendswood Lakes and Falcon Ridge, Wilderness Trails is a small-sample neighborhood this cycle — just 6 closed sales — so hold these numbers loosely. The median landed at $427,500 with a wide range ($245,000 to $595,000), 31.5 days median DOM, and 96.9% of list price. With this few transactions and that much spread, the "median" is really just the middle of six very different homes.

Two things stand out anyway. First, the fail rate: 5 listings died against 6 that closed — 45.5% — which on a small sample still tells you something about pricing discipline in this established, no-two-homes-alike neighborhood. Second, the current asks are ambitious: the 3 active listings have a median ask of $545,000, well above the recent closed median. At 3 months of supply the market is balanced, but the sellers who win in Wilderness Trails will be the ones who price off real comps rather than off their neighbor's asking price.

What This Means for Buyers

At 3.2 months of supply, Friendswood isn't a market where you can sit back and expect desperate sellers — well-priced homes are going under contract in 20 days at 98.5% of list, the fastest pace of any market I work. If you find the right house at a defensible price, hesitation is how you lose it.

But the data also hands you leverage if you know where to look. The median active listing is asking $495,000 against a median closed price of $429,990 — a meaningful chunk of today's inventory is priced above what the market has actually been paying. And with 198 listings having failed in six months, plenty of sellers have already learned that lesson the hard way. A stale, overpriced listing in West Ranch or Falcon Ridge is a genuine negotiating opportunity; a fresh, well-priced listing in Heritage Park or Avalon is not. Knowing which situation you're in is most of the game.

What This Means for Sellers

Friendswood is the best seller's setup of my four markets right now — 20 days median DOM, 98.5% of list, 3.2 months of supply — but only for sellers who respect the one number that should keep you honest: 36.9% of listings failed to sell. More than 1 in 3. Same city, same six months, same buyer pool. The difference between the 339 that closed and the 198 that didn't was overwhelmingly price.

The playbook the data writes is simple: price off closed comps, not active wish-lists, and not your neighbor's Zillow estimate. If you price correctly, this market pays you quickly and nearly in full — sellers who closed kept 97.1% of even their original asking price.
