View Houston market analysis →The Surge Take: Pearland
Pearland scores 51.0/100 on Surge's STR market score, ranking #43 of 53 Houston-area submarkets we track. That's in the lower tier of the Houston market on our score, which usually reflects thinner guest demand. Deals here need to be underwritten conservatively — the entry price has to do the heavy lifting. The average listing here grosses $33,636/year — about 8% above the Houston metro average.
The revenue profile is a $193 average daily rate at 56% occupancy (RevPAR $92). That's a healthy mid-market ADR — the sweet spot for durable demand from both leisure and work travel. As a suburban submarket, demand skews toward families, relocations, and medical or project stays — larger homes tend to outperform.
The key caveat is regulation: Pearland restricts short-term rentals — STRs banned from all residential zones as of Feb. 2026; 19 grandfathered; new STRs commercial zones only. Parcel-level due diligence is essential here; confirm the specific property is eligible before underwriting STR income.
