Real Estate Guidence Backed By 25 Years.
I am Jonathan McNabb, a REALTOR® with Nest Ahead serving Katy, Texas and the greater Fort Bend, Harris, and Waller County markets. Over twenty five years across the real estate and legal industries have given me a keen eye for the contracts and disclosures that shape every deal, so I can guide buyers, sellers, and investors through each step with clarity.
My approach combines advanced education, an MIB from Houston Christian University and membership in the Kappa Tau Chapter of Delta Mu Delta, with deep local market knowledge so clients can make informed decisions, not just emotional ones.
Buying or selling a home is one of the largest emotional and financial decisions you will make. From the moment you place your trust in me, I commit to negotiating on your behalf, explaining every clause, and keeping the transaction as smooth as possible from contract to close.
Credentials & Recognition
Last updated: May 2026
Katy's 2026 market is the most balanced it has been since 2019. Median sale prices have softened roughly 5 to 6% year over year. Homes are taking 51 to 69 days to sell, up from around 38 days a year ago. Inventory has climbed to a six-year high near 4.9 months of supply, above the national average of 4.1 months. More than a third of listings have taken at least one price reduction, and mortgage rates have eased to around 6.33% from 6.73% a year ago. Buyers have more leverage than they have felt in years. Sellers have to price like they mean it.
Katy buyers have the upper hand. Use it.
You have leverage you did not have eighteen months ago. Sellers are entertaining concessions, repair credits, and rate buydowns more often, especially on homes that sit past day thirty. Move with a clear pre approval and a target list of three to five neighborhoods.
Katy sellers who price right are still closing strong.
Price to the last 30 days of comps, not last spring's. Invest in professional photography and a real launch plan that builds showing momentum in the first seven days. The homes that close clean in this market are priced right from day one, not chasing the market down with repeated reductions.
2025 vs 2026 Market Snapshot
Katy is going through a pricing reset, and the data tells a clear story. Inventory just hit a six-year high. Year-over-year median prices have softened between 2% and 6% depending on the neighborhood and price band. More than a third of active listings have already taken at least one price cut. For buyers, this is the strongest position they've had since 2019. More homes to choose from, more time to evaluate, and real room to negotiate on price, repairs, and concessions. The pressure of bidding wars and waived inspections is gone. For sellers, the rules have changed. The buyers who are out there are educated, patient, and comparing every option on the market. Pricing off last year's comps is the single fastest way to sit. Sellers who study the last 30 days of activity, prepare their home properly, and price to today's market are still closing strong, often on the first wave of showings.
