Waller, Baytown among HAR's Q1 list of Houston's hottest communities

Greater Houston suburban areas such as Waller, Brookshire and Baytown are trending strong for home sales growth, according to the Houston Association of Realtors' latest Hottest Communities report for the first quarter of 2026.

At a glance: The Huffman area, east of Atascocita, tops the list with a 117.1% increase in home sales since the end of 2025, the report shows. Similarly, transactions in Brookshire, located west of Katy, more than doubled compared to the previous year, and the fast-growing Waller community saw a 99% jump in transactions.

Meyerland, Baytown and Magnolia also showed significant growth in transactions compared to last year. 

The cause: The communities are leading the rankings for home sales due to a combination of new construction and affordability, with seven of the top 10 reporting average home prices under the Houston-area average of $420,510, per an April 27 news release.

Also of note: As for luxury communities—where home prices exceed $1 million—the top-performing areas include Tanglewood, Bellaire and Memorial Villages, all of which are located just outside of Houston's Inner Loop.
