HAR ZIP Watch Q4 2025: Waller’s 77484 Leads Houston-Area Home Sales Growth as Buyer Interest Surges
As the Greater Houston housing market closed out 2025, one ZIP code stood out above the rest: 77484, centered in Waller, Texas, just northwest of Cypress. According to HAR.com’s ZIP Watch | Q4 2025, 77484 recorded the largest year-over-year increase in home sales across the Houston area, signaling strong momentum in one of the region’s fastest-growing corridors.
The quarterly ZIP Watch report tracks ZIP codes with the most significant gains in home sales activity, offering REALTORS®, buyers, sellers, and developers a closer look at where housing demand is accelerating. In Q4 2025, the data tells a clear story: buyers are following opportunity, affordability, and new construction—and many are finding all three in Waller County.
77484: Growth Fueled by New Communities, Space, and Strategic Location
Ranked No. 1 among all Houston-area ZIP codes, 77484 posted a 102.2% year-over-year increase in transactions, with an average home sales price of $310,165 and homes spending an average of 55 days on the market. The ZIP includes much of Waller and areas near Cypress, positioning it at the crossroads of small-town living and suburban convenience.
One of the strongest drivers behind the surge in demand is location. Waller sits along the rapidly expanding U.S. 290 corridor, offering relatively easy access to Cypress, Katy, Tomball, and major employment centers while still providing larger lots, newer homes, and less congestion than more established suburbs closer to Houston’s core. For many buyers, especially those priced out of Cypress or seeking more space without giving up connectivity, Waller has become a natural next step.
New construction has played a major role as well. Communities such as Jubilee by Johnson Development have attracted buyers looking for thoughtfully designed master-planned neighborhoods that emphasize walkability, green space, and a strong sense of community. Nearby developments like Beacon Hill, led by Long Lake Limited on the residential side and Wolff Companies on the commercial front, are helping shape a more complete live-work-play environment—something buyers increasingly prioritize.

Affordability remains a key factor. With average home prices in 77484 well below the Houston-area average, buyers are finding newer homes, modern layouts, and builder incentives that are harder to come by in more mature markets. For first-time buyers, growing families, and even those relocating from out of state, Waller offers a compelling combination of value and long-term potential.
Waller’s Broader Market Momentum Reflects a Shift in Buyer Preferences
The ZIP Watch findings align closely with HAR’s Hottest Communities in the Houston Area | Q4 2025 report. While ZIP code 77484 led at the ZIP level, the City of Waller ranked second overall among Houston-area communities, recording a 103.0% year-over-year increase in home sales. Brookshire, also in Waller County, claimed the top community spot with a nearly 199% surge, underscoring the county’s growing role in Greater Houston’s housing landscape.
Across these high-growth areas, new construction accounted for more than 70% of sales, reflecting a broader shift in buyer behavior. Many purchasers are prioritizing energy efficiency, modern floorplans, and community amenities—features more readily available in newer developments. Waller County communities are meeting that demand while still maintaining price points below regional averages.
“Buyers across all corners of the Houston area are responding to opportunity,” said HAR Chair Theresa Hill with Compass RE Texas, LLC – Houston. “As mortgage rates edge down, communities offering new construction, buyer incentives and more affordable pricing are well positioned to continue attracting prospective homebuyers.”

According to the Greater Houston Partnership, the region experienced the second-largest population increase in the U.S. from 2021 to 2022, and that growth continues to ripple outward. As more people explore housing options beyond Houston’s core, areas like Waller—offering room to grow and a strong development pipeline—are capturing that interest.
