What is the Seven Meadows market doing in 2026?
Realtor.com's Seven Meadows neighborhood page put the median list price at $545,000 in August 2026 — down about 5 to 7 percent from June's reading, with a median 36 days on market . Seven Meadows is a built-out, 1,716-home community along FM 1463 and Franz Road, with about 46 active listings in the core plus its Avalon and Cinco West sections.
Seven Meadows is the golf-course play in Katy, and the 2026 pullback (median list down 11.7% year over year) has opened a window versus the flat Grand Lakes market. A 36-day median market with 46 core listings means real selection. The trade to understand: the golf club is a separate membership.
Pricing discipline matters in a softening market. HAR's median appraised value runs $521,718 in the core against a $545,000 list median — we price against recent Seven Meadows closings, and the Avalon section's $989,765 appraisal median shows the spread within the community.
Realtor.com tracks Seven Meadows at $545,000 against a Katy citywide median of $388,619 (August 2026). The community's sections price like different markets: Avalon at Seven Meadows runs near $1 million in appraised value while Cinco West sits in the low $400s.
