Despite home-price increases in most markets across Texas, the statewide median declined 1.2% year over year to $335,000 in 2025 due to price cuts in the state\u2019s four major markets, according to the Real Estate Year in Review from Texas REALTORS\u00ae<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the Houston metro area, the median declined 0.2% year over year to $334,400. That meant a price-per-square foot of $162.86, down 1.1% from 2024.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome markets where prices jumped quickly a few years ago are now dipping a bit, while other areas that had a slower rise are still going strong,\u201d Jennifer Wauhob<\/a>, chairman of Texas REALTORS\u00ae, said in a press release. \u201cIt\u2019s crucial to know your own market and base decisions on hyper-local information.\u201d<\/p>\n

Throughout the year, 335,390 Texas homes sold in 2025, up 1.3% from 2024. Median days on market increased 23.1%, hitting an average of 67 days \u2014 a week longer than a year prior.<\/p>\n

Given the pace of sales, Texas had an average 4.6-month inventory in 2025, up from 4.1 months in 2024.<\/p>\n

In Houston, 89,012 homes sold, up 3% year over year. Homes spent a median 55 days on market, up five days annually. That amounted to a 4.5-month inventory<\/a>, up from 3.9 months in 2024.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t decide how warmly to dress based on a national or statewide forecast,\u201d Wauhob added. \u201cEven if you\u2019ve heard that \u2018the market\u2019 is doing this or that, it may not be true where you live.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Despite home-price increases in most markets across Texas, the statewide median declined 1.2% year over year to $335,000…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":201504,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[3804,51456,51001,27,29,28,44995,50941],"class_list":["post-201503","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-texas","tag-3804","tag-jennifer-wauhob","tag-sc","tag-texas","tag-texas-headlines","tag-texas-news","tag-texas-real-estate","tag-texas-realtors"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/201503","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=201503"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/201503\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/201504"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=201503"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=201503"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=201503"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
