Houston,Tx cost per sqft?

[Manuel DelaLlata]

Hello, I'm still pretty new to all this. But I'm trying to find out a cost per square foot number for Houston, Tx. I read about it somewhere and have been trying to find a number. I know it not as simple as a coat per square foot, but it can definitely help. Thanks for any info.

Purchase price per sq ft in Dallas can range from $50 - $300 depending on the area. I would assume you will find a similar variance in Houston. My recommendation is to start analyzing specific areas of interest in Houston using Redfin.com. It will show you a table view of all the listings in an area with $/sq ft included in the table. You can sort by cost/ sq ft, and it will show you the average cost/sq ft at the bottom of the table. You can even export the table to Excel if you want to.

Keep in mind this will be list price per sq ft, and not actual sold price/sq ft.

The other thing you could do is request comparable sales data from a realtor for a specific area. This will be based on actual selling price and will be a more accurate reflection than list price.
