Houston market rental trends report

Over the past 3–6 months, rent prices in Houston have remained relatively stable, with modest month-to-month fluctuations and a slight softening in certain areas compared with earlier in 2025.

The moderation is largely driven by increased apartment inventory, new multifamily developments coming online, and broader economic factors that have eased upward pressure on rental pricing. Currently, the median rent across Houston is approximately $1,350 per month.
