How Much Do Homes Cost in Katy 77449? A 2026 Market Look

As of the most recent HAR.com and Redfin reports, accessed October 15, 2026, the median home price in Katy's 77449 ZIP code was $272,000 on HAR.com (August 2026, with an average of $291,808 across 105 sales), while Redfin put the ZIP's median sale price at about $280,000 over its latest three-month window, down 3.1% year over year. That is noticeably below the Katy city-wide median of $385,000 (July 2026, HAR.com), because 77449 covers a broad mix of established communities like Morton Ranch, older resale stock, and newer construction along the Grand Parkway corridor. For a buyer shopping this ZIP, the practical picture is a market where homes take about a month to sell, most sales come with some negotiation, and price per square foot clusters in the $146 to $150 range.

The headline numbers for 77449

HAR.com's 77449 price trend report (accessed October 15, 2026) shows a median home price of $272,000 for August 2026, an average of $291,808, and 105 closed sales for the month. Its ZIP profile also notes a price per square foot averaging roughly $149 to $150 and a median of about 25 days on market, which is a brisk-but-not-frenzied pace.

Redfin's 77449 housing market page (accessed October 15, 2026) tells a similar story with slightly different numbers: a median sale price of about $280,000, a median of $146 per square foot, homes selling in roughly 30 days with about two offers each on average, and a market score of 67 out of 100, which Redfin labels "somewhat competitive." The two platforms use different methodologies, HAR reporting MLS closings and Redfin blending its own estimates, so the modest gap between them is normal, not a red flag.

Morton Ranch within the 77449 picture

HAR.com's Morton Ranch price trend report (accessed October 15, 2026) shows the community running a touch above the ZIP-wide median: an average sale price around $306,484 and an average of about $137 per square foot across homes averaging roughly 2,160 square feet. The report's 2025 community facts put the median appraised value near $280,504, a neighborhood value range of about $228,000 to $339,000, and a median sold price of $121.62 per square foot, with recent HAR listings running roughly $235,000 to $325,000. In practice that means a move-in-ready Morton Ranch home lands in a fairly narrow band, and price is usually decided by condition, updates, and lot position rather than by square footage alone.

Buyers often ask whether Morton Ranch compares with newer 77449 or Cinco Ranch communities; the honest answer is that its price band is what makes it popular.

Where 2810 Roaring Oaks Ln sits in that range

The current listing for 2810 Roaring Oaks Ln is active on the MLS at $300,000 (MLS #60364580). It is a one-story, flexible 3/4-bedroom plan of about 1,972 square feet built in 2009, with recent updates including a 2024 A/C system, a 2023 UV purifier, a 2021 water heater, a 2019 roof, and a whole-home surge protector. That puts this home just under Morton Ranch's $306,000 average sale price while sitting comfortably inside its typical value band, and its HOA dues of about $48 a month stay modest next to master-planned alternatives.

What "somewhat competitive" means when you write an offer

A market where homes sell in roughly 25 to 30 days with about two offers apiece is not a bidding-war market, but it is not a slow one either. It means well-priced, updated homes move quickly and invite negotiation, so it pays to have your financing ready and to compare the big-ticket items, roof, HVAC, water heater, rather than just finishes, before you commit. It also means the difference between two similar Morton Ranch homes is often the update history and the condition, which is exactly the argument for buying a home whose mechanical systems are already recent. No one can promise where prices go next, so the practical strategy is to price your search against current sales, not last spring's asking prices.
