Placeholder post body. Fort Bend County has kept growing through every part of the cycle, and buyers coming into Richmond, Katy, or Rosenberg this year are seeing a market that behaves differently than it did two years ago.

What’s changed

Inventory has loosened compared to the peak, giving buyers more room to negotiate on closing costs and move-in timing. Builders in particular have leaned into incentives rather than price cuts to keep new-construction sales moving.

What buyers should watch

  • Days on market by community, not just by county average
  • MUD tax rates, which vary meaningfully between neighboring developments
  • Builder incentive packages on standing inventory
