New HAR report shows slight increase in Houston's rental listings, leased properties in April

More renters in Greater Houston signed leases in April as available listings increased slightly and prices dipped, according to a May 20 report from the Houston Association of Realtors.

Breaking it down: The number of rentable single-family homes in the Houston area expanded by about 1.9% compared to April 2025, with 113 more new listings to choose from, according to the monthly rental market update. Additionally, the number of signed leases increased by approximately 9.7%.

Another detail: As for average lease prices, costs eased slightly by about 2.6% compared to last April, with the average lease price totaling $2,274 in 2026, the report shows.

Quote of note: "We're continuing to see a healthy rental market across Houston," HAR Chair Theresa Hill said in a statement. "Renters have more homes to choose from right now, and that's helping create a little more breathing room when it comes to pricing and decision making. Heading into the summer months, those conditions should continue to support a steady and competitive rental market."
