Resale vs. New Construction in Jordan Ranch: What the 2026 Numbers Actually Reveal
In Jordan Ranch, Fulshear TX, resale homes sold at a median $422,500 and closed in 28 days, while new construction closed at a $462,000 median but averaged 62 days on market and 11.5% below original list price in 2026.
TL;DR:
Jordan Ranch is running two separate real estate markets simultaneously in 2026. Resale homes are moving faster and holding closer to their original asking price, while new construction offers more inventory — but with longer days on market and builder pricing that routinely adjusts well below where it started. Knowing which market you're in changes your strategy entirely.
If you've been following the Jordan Ranch real estate market in Fulshear, TX, you already know it's one of the most-watched communities in the Greater Houston area. Nine active builders. Thousands of homes. A 1,350-acre master-planned community with an on-site farm, lazy river, and direct access to I-10 — all about five miles from Katy.
What the big real estate sites won't tell you is that right now, in 2026, Jordan Ranch is operating as two distinct markets inside the same zip code. One moves fast and holds its price. The other sits longer, starts higher, and consistently closes well below where it began.
The numbers below are pulled directly from the HAR MLS on April 21, 2026, covering the last 90 days of activity in Jordan Ranch — separated by resale and new construction. No estimates. No blended averages. Here is what is actually happening.
Two Markets, One Community
Before getting into the data, it helps to understand why this split exists in Jordan Ranch specifically.
Jordan Ranch was developed by Johnson Development Corporation starting in 2015 and is still actively being built out across multiple sections. That means buyers in Jordan Ranch are shopping in a market where brand-new homes from nine different builders are actively competing — with model homes, design center upgrades, and financing incentives — right alongside resale homes from previous buyers.
That competition shapes everything about how both types of homes price and sell. And the 2026 MLS data makes the contrast clearer than ever.
Jordan Ranch carries a Fulshear, TX 77423 address, though some sections of the community show Brookshire as the mailing city — both fall within the same zip code and the same master-planned development.
What Resale Homes Are Selling For in Jordan Ranch
In the last 90 days, 10 resale homes closed in Jordan Ranch. That is a lean number — but it is the cleanest, most current data available, and it tells a clear story.
Metric | Active (32 listings) | Sold (10 closings) |
Median Price | $531,225 | $422,500 |
Average Price | $546,256 | $497,200 |
Median $/SqFt | $185.04 | $182.59 |
Median SqFt | 2,799 | 2,406 |
Sale Price / List Price | — | 97.00% |
Sale Price / Original List | — | 96.36% |
Median Days on Market | 42 days | 28 days |
Median Cumulative DOM | 58 days | 43 days |
The standout number is the median days on market: 28 days. Resale homes that are priced correctly in Jordan Ranch are finding buyers quickly. The 97% SP/LP ratio means the average negotiation on a $420,000 home is roughly $12,600. Sellers who price well are not giving much away.
There is a gap worth noting, however. The 32 active resale listings carry a median list price of $531,225 — but the 10 that actually sold closed at a median of $422,500. That $108,000 spread between what sellers are asking and what buyers are paying tells you something important: the homes that are priced right are selling. The ones that are not priced right are sitting, and the active CDOM of 58 days confirms it.
What New Construction Is Selling For in Jordan Ranch
New construction is where the story gets more layered — and where buyers and sellers most need to pay attention.
In the same 90-day window, 77 new construction homes closed in Jordan Ranch. That is more than seven times the resale volume. Jordan Ranch is still very much a builder-driven community, and that volume has a direct impact on how every home in the neighborhood competes.
Metric | Active (87 listings) | Sold (77 closings) |
Median Price | $500,900 | $462,000 |
Average Price | $540,866 | $508,050 |
Median $/SqFt | $192.02 | $179.26 |
Median SqFt | 2,653 | 2,618 |
Sale Price / List Price | — | 96.37% |
Sale Price / Original List | — | 88.52% |
Median Days on Market | 34 days | 62 days |
Median Cumulative DOM | 48 days | 65 days |
The number that defines this segment right now: 88.52% SP/OLP ratio. New construction homes in Jordan Ranch are closing at an average of nearly 11.5% below their original list price. On a $500,000 home, that is a gap of roughly $57,500 between where a builder started and where they ultimately closed.
That gap reflects how builders operate in a high-inventory environment. Rate buy-downs, closing cost contributions, design center credits, and price reductions all happen over the course of a build cycle — and buyers who know how to read and negotiate those incentives are the ones capturing that value. Builders have flexibility that individual sellers do not, and in the current Jordan Ranch market, they are using it.
What This Means If You're Buying in Jordan Ranch
You have two very different negotiating environments to choose from, and understanding both before you shop matters.
On the new construction side, the data shows there is an average of about 11.5% between original asking price and final close. That does not mean every builder will negotiate to the same level — incentive availability depends on the section, the builder, and the phase of construction. But it does mean you should go into every builder conversation knowing their recent close history, not just their posted price list. An agent who pulls this data before you walk into a model home is an asset.
On the resale side, the market is tighter. Homes are closing at 97% of list price in a median of 28 days. Your window to negotiate is narrower, and well-priced homes are not sitting around. Move with more preparation and less hesitation.
Worth knowing: with 87 active new construction listings versus 32 resale, buyers have nearly three times the supply to work with on the builder side. More supply generally means more leverage — and in Jordan Ranch right now, the data backs that up.
What This Means If You're Selling Resale in Jordan Ranch
If you own a resale home in Jordan Ranch and you are thinking about selling, this data gives you both a realistic picture and a clear strategic direction.
The opportunity: resale homes that are priced correctly are moving in 28 days and closing at 97% of original list price. That is a healthy result for sellers who do their homework before they list.
The challenge: you are not just competing with other resale homes. You are competing with 87 active new construction listings — many of which come with builder incentives that a resale home cannot replicate. Rate buy-downs, extended warranties, design upgrades, and closing cost credits are tools that individual sellers simply do not have access to.
That does not mean resale cannot sell in Jordan Ranch. Clearly it can, and it does. But your price, your presentation, and your marketing need to account for the full competitive picture — not just the five homes on your street that look similar to yours.
The active resale listings sitting at a median CDOM of 58 days are a signal worth paying attention to. The homes that closed in 28 days got their pricing right from the start. The ones still sitting did not.
Frequently Asked Questions: Jordan Ranch
Q: Is Jordan Ranch a buyer's or seller's market right now?
A: It depends on which segment you are in. The resale market in Jordan Ranch is performing closer to a balanced market — homes are moving in a median of 28 days at 97% of list price, which is healthy for sellers who price correctly. The new construction segment, with 87 active listings and homes closing nearly 11.5% below their original asking price, gives buyers real room to negotiate. These are two separate dynamics operating in the same community, and your strategy should reflect whichever side of the market you are actually in.
Q: What is it actually like to live in Jordan Ranch, Fulshear TX?
A: Jordan Ranch is a 1,350-acre master-planned community built around an "agri-hood" concept — meaning an on-site working farm called Sunset Farm is part of daily life here, alongside a resort-style amenity hub called The Shed that includes a lazy river, fitness center, and aerobics studio. There are miles of hike and bike trails, pocket parks, a dog park, and a full-time lifestyle director who organizes community events throughout the year. The location puts you about five miles from Katy and just south of I-10, with easy access to the Energy Corridor and Grand Parkway.

Q: How does Jordan Ranch compare to Cross Creek Ranch nearby?
A: Both are large master-planned communities in the Fulshear/Katy corridor and both attract buyers who want new construction with strong amenities. Cross Creek Ranch is located along FM 1463 and is a bit more established in its buildout, with a different builder lineup and a slightly different community character. Price points and floor plan availability vary enough between the two that it is worth touring both before you commit. The right fit depends on your budget, your timeline, and what you want in a neighborhood — and an agent who knows the current data in both communities can help you compare with real numbers, not just marketing materials.
Q: What is happening with home prices across the broader Katy, TX market?
A: The Katy market as a whole has remained one of the more active submarkets in Greater Houston, with strong demand from families and energy corridor employees looking for value relative to Houston proper. Like Jordan Ranch, the Katy area is carrying more inventory than it did two or three years ago, and days on market have stretched across most price points. If you are also considering communities inside Katy — like Grand Lakes or Elyson — the market dynamics differ enough by submarket that hyperlocal data matters. You can explore what is happening in the Grand Lakes area at mkatgroup.com/grand-lakes.
Q: How do I find out what my Jordan Ranch home is actually worth right now?
A: Start with the data specific to your segment — resale or new construction — and the last 90 days of closings in your immediate section of the community. Price per square foot, days on market, and original list price versus close price will tell you more than any automated estimate tool online. The MKAT Group pulls and separates this data for every client before we ever discuss a list price, because in a community like Jordan Ranch, blending resale and new construction into a single average leads to pricing decisions that do not reflect your actual competition.
