Cypress carried a median list price around $474,000 citywide in July 2026, with the 77433 zip code running slightly higher at $484,000. Days on market climbed to 81 that same month, up from 68 in June, and inventory sat at about 4.4 months of supply as of June, a mark that leans toward a buyer's market rather than the tight seller conditions Cypress has been known for.
Sources disagree meaningfully on the exact number. HAR's average price figure for 77433 ran to $563,707 in August, well above the Movoto median, because an average and a median measure different things and Cypress carries a wide spread of product from resale starter homes to new construction estate lots.
Ask which figure, average or median, and which geography, before treating any single number as the market. A median list price and an average sold price in the same zip code can differ by six figures without either one being wrong.
Every Cypress buyer eventually asks why their neighbor's tax bill looks different, and the answer is almost always the MUD. There is no Cypress rate, there is your MUD's rate, and I pull that number for the exact address before we ever talk monthly payment. I do the same with the price data, because a median and an average measuring different things has confused more buyers here than anywhere else I work. Waldina Galeano, Broker and CEO, The Agency Team

Cypress has no city government. It is unincorporated Harris County, inside Houston's extraterritorial jurisdiction, which means there is no single Cypress tax rate. Instead, individual Municipal Utility Districts set their own rates that stack on top of county and school district taxes, and those rates vary block by block depending on which MUD an address falls in.
Harris County MUD 502 dropped its rate from $1.50 per $100 of value in 2019 to $1.02 per $100 by 2024. Harris County MUD 501 levied $0.5972 per $100 for 2025. Two addresses a short drive apart can carry meaningfully different combined tax bills purely because of which district financed their roads and water lines.
Ask for the specific MUD number and its current rate before you commit to an address, not an assumption based on a neighboring subdivision's bill.
Cy-Fair Independent School District is the third largest in Texas, behind only Houston and Dallas ISD, serving roughly 118,000 students. It also lost about 3,230 students in the 2025 to 2026 school year, amid a reported $67 million budget deficit, a trend attributed to school choice competition, shrinking available land, and falling birthrates rather than falling demand for Cypress itself.
Trustees placed a $1.6 billion bond alongside a property tax rate increase on the November 2026 ballot. A bond of that size can mean new schools, renovated campuses, or attendance zone changes in the years ahead, all of which are worth tracking if you are buying for a specific school rather than the district name.
None of this points to Cypress losing population. Census estimates put the two Cypress zip codes at roughly 212,857 residents combined, up from 200,839 at the 2020 count, continued in migration even as school enrollment moves the other direction.
Bridgeland ranked 14th nationally among master planned communities in RCLCO's mid 2025 rankings, with 438 new home sales in the first half of that year alone. The community spans roughly 11,500 acres across four villages, developed by Howard Hughes and straddling the Grand Parkway.
Absorption at that pace changes the negotiation math compared to a resale purchase elsewhere in Cypress. Builder incentives, lot premiums, and section release timing move constantly in an actively selling community at that scale, in a way a static resale listing does not.
Towne Lake, Fairfield, and Coles Crossing are the other established master planned anchors in Cypress, each with its own amenity package and HOA structure. Confirm which community, and which section within it, before comparing list prices, since a lot premium in an active Bridgeland village is not the same line item as an established Towne Lake resale.

Around $474,000 to $484,000 citywide as of July 2026, though HAR's average price figure for the 77433 zip code ran to $563,707 in August, a different measurement covering a different mix of homes. Ask whether a figure is a median or an average before comparing sources.
No. Cypress is unincorporated Harris County. There is no city tax rate, only county taxes plus whichever Municipal Utility District serves the specific address, and MUD rates vary block by block. Confirm the MUD number and current rate for any property before you make an offer.
The opposite trend is happening now. Cy-Fair ISD, the third largest district in Texas at about 118,000 students, lost around 3,230 students in the 2025 to 2026 school year and is asking voters for a $1.6 billion bond plus a tax rate increase on the November 2026 ballot. Confirm current attendance zoning, since a bond of that size can shift boundaries.
Trending toward buyers. Days on market rose to 81 in July 2026, up from 68 the prior month, with about 4.4 months of supply as of June, both signs of a cooling market compared to Cypress's hotter years.
Bridgeland ranked 14th nationally among master planned communities in RCLCO's 2025 rankings, with 438 new home sales in the first half of that year across roughly 11,500 acres. That pace of absorption means different lot premiums and builder incentives than an established resale community like Towne Lake or Coles Crossing.
It depends entirely on which Municipal Utility District serves the address. Harris County MUD 502 runs $1.02 per $100 as of 2024, while Harris County MUD 501 levied $0.5972 per $100 for 2025. Always request the full combined rate, county plus school plus MUD, for the specific property.
