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

The number of new listings for townhomes and condominiums rose 4.3% from 1,031 properties in April 2025 to 1,075 in April 2026, but leasing activity for that market held steady over the past year, according to the data.

Additionally, the average lease price for condos and townhomes in Greater Houston increased slightly from $1,995 to $2,020 per month, with properties staying on the market seven days longer on average compared to the same time last year.

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."
