Garden Oaks is two markets right now.
Resale homes are moving in a tighter market, while new construction makes up a much larger share of today’s active inventory than of the homes that actually sold during the past year. Blended neighborhood averages can therefore hide a meaningful difference in pricing pressure and negotiating leverage.

Questions buyers and sellers ask.
What is the median home price in Garden Oaks right now?
Over the past 12 months, from September 15, 2025 through September 15, 2026, the median sold price for a single-family home in Garden Oaks was $858,500, based on HAR MLS data. As of September 24, 2026, the median list price among active listings was $1,585,000. That active figure is pulled upward by the larger share of new-construction listings currently on the market.
How long do homes take to sell in Garden Oaks?
Homes that closed during the past 12 months spent a median of 40 days on the market. Homes currently active had been on the market for a median of 91 days as of September 24, 2026. The active figure reflects the higher share of new-construction inventory and should not be read as a direct measure of resale demand.
Is Garden Oaks a buyer’s market or a seller’s market?
It depends on the segment. Excluding new construction, the resale market had about 3.6 months of supply, based on 23 active resale listings and a trailing 12-month pace of roughly 6.4 resale sales per month. That is a tighter, seller-leaning market. New construction had roughly 12 months of supply, based on 17 active listings and 17 new-construction closings during the past 12 months. That segment gives buyers considerably more negotiating leverage.
What is the price per square foot in Garden Oaks?
Single-family homes that sold during the past 12 months closed at a median of $368 per square foot. Active listings were offered at a median of $396 per square foot as of September 24, 2026. The active figure is influenced by the concentration of higher-priced new construction.
Is there a lot of new construction in Garden Oaks?
Yes. As of September 24, 2026, 17 of the 40 active homes, or 43%, were built in 2024 or later, with most priced above $1.5 million. New construction represented 17 of the 94 homes sold during the prior 12 months, or about 18% of closings.
