Buying a home in Fulshear, TX in 2026 takes about $585,000 at the median, based on Redfin's closed-sale data for the three months ending August 2026. The full cost picture goes beyond the purchase price: plan on property taxes around 2 percent of value after homestead exemptions, Jordan Ranch HOA dues near $1,125 a year, and a 30-year mortgage rate near 7 percent as of early October 2026. The home at 2103 Germander Ln is listed at $540,000, below that citywide median, and every figure below is sourced with its date so you can check the math yourself.

What homes actually sell for in Fulshear

Fulshear's median sale price was about $585,000 for the three months ending August 2026, down 2.6 percent year over year, according to Redfin's Fulshear housing market page, and Redfin's all-home-types median for August 2026 was $584,613. HAR.com, which tracks active listings rather than closed sales, reported a median listing price of $498,995 and an average listing price of $580,250 for Fulshear in August 2026, across 946 listings with a median 40 days on market, on its Fulshear price trends page. HAR.com's ZIP 77441 profile for September 2026 put the average price at $594,443, about $191 per square foot. The two sources measure different things, which is why the numbers differ; both point the same direction, and a well-kept 2,800-square-foot house priced in the low $500,000s sits below the Fulshear norm. For the ZIP 77423 figures that this property's address falls under, see the market snapshot page.

Property taxes: the biggest line item after the mortgage

Texas has no state income tax, and property taxes are how local services get funded. In Jordan Ranch, the combined nominal rate is roughly 2.82 percent of assessed value before exemptions, per a HAR.com cost analysis of Fulshear, built from Lamar CISD at $1.1469 per $100 of value (2025-26), Fort Bend County at $0.412 (2025), the City of Fulshear at $0.168 (FY 2025-26), and Fulshear MUD No. 3A at about $1.15. Homestead exemptions cut that in practice: the Texas school-district exemption is $140,000 for 2025-26, raised by Proposition 13, which voters approved in November 2025 retroactive to tax year 2025; Fort Bend County exempts 20 percent of value on its portion; and the City of Fulshear exempts 14 percent. Fulshear's median effective property tax rate works out to about 2.05 percent of market value after exemptions, according to Ownwell's Fulshear tax analysis. On a $540,000 home, that is roughly $11,000 a year. Exact numbers depend on assessed value and which exemptions you qualify for, so confirm with the Fort Bend Central Appraisal District before you budget.

HOA dues and one-time fees in Jordan Ranch

2103 Germander Ln sits in Jordan Ranch, and the community association charges about $1,125 a year, roughly $94 a month (some buyer guides list $1,175). Dues cover common-area maintenance and the community amenities: The Shed amenity center with a resort-style pool, lazy river, splash pad, and fitness center; Sunset Farm, a 1.5-acre community garden; plus tennis courts, sports fields, walking and biking trails, parks, and playgrounds, all detailed on the Jordan Ranch amenities page. Jordan Ranch also collects a one-time foundation fee of 0.25 percent of the home's sales price at closing, per Johnson Development's fee schedule. On a $540,000 purchase, that is $1,350 once, on top of the price.

Mortgage rates and the monthly math

Freddie Mac's Primary Mortgage Market Survey put the U.S. average 30-year fixed rate at 7.28 percent as of October 1, 2026, up from 7.03 percent the week before. Rates move weekly, so treat any payment estimate as a snapshot. As an illustration: at $540,000 with 20 percent down ($108,000), a $432,000 loan at 7.28 percent for 30 years carries principal and interest of about $2,956 a month. Add property taxes at Fulshear's roughly 2.05 percent effective rate, about $920 a month, and Jordan Ranch HOA dues of about $94 a month, and the total lands near $3,970 a month before homeowners insurance, which varies by carrier and coverage. A smaller down payment lowers the cash needed up front but raises the monthly payment and usually adds mortgage insurance. These are estimates, not a quote: get current rates and a lender's numbers for your situation.
