Sources & Methodology
The data is for Houston (Data from the HAR MLS for purchases of single family homes over $125,000, not at lot value, in MLS Areas 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 55 & 57).
As explained in our Best Houston Neighborhoods Guide, since Houston is over 600 square miles, we have segmented the city into six quadrants: Inner Loop, Close In (But Not Inner Loop), North/Northwest, East/Northeast, West / Southwest, South / Southeast.
We grouped Inner Loop & Close In regions into the “Central Houston” category.
We grouped North/Northwest, East/Northeast, West / Southwest, South / Southeast regions into the “Houston Suburbs” category.
Then, we analyzed every Houston MLS Geo Market Area (aka Houston Neighborhood) that has over 10 active listings and compared the total number of properties with price reductions to the total number of active listings.
Houston Neighborhoods with the highest percentage of properties with a price reduction are on the “Best For Buyers” list. Houston Neighborhoods with the lowest percentage of properties with a price reduction are on the “Best For Sellers” list.
