Texas Real Estate Mid-Year 2025: How to Use Market Insights to Drive More Sales
Here’s a quick snapshot of the Texas housing market mid‑year 2025 and how real estate pros can use these insights to craft marketing strategies that stand out and convert.
A Snapshot of Texas Real Estate Mid-2025
Steady but subdued home price growth in Texas. In June 2025, the median home price in Texas rose just 0.6 % year-over-year, reaching about $356,000. Sales volumes are up slightly - 4.4 % more homes sold, while available inventory surged 17.5 %, giving buyers more choices and negotiating power¹.
Inventory and market shifts. In Q1 2025, Texas listings rose 30.7 %, with homes remaining on the market longer: 105 days on average, up 7 days compared to Q1 2024. Overall, inventory reached 4.8 months of supply, nearing what's commonly seen in a balanced market².
Central Texas specifics (Austin area). As of mid-June 2025:
Median price: $439,970, about 2.2 % lower than the first half of 2024.
Active listings: up 19.9 %, new listings up 8.4 %.
Homes sold: slightly down overall, but June recorded a 12.9 % increase year-over-year in sold homes.
Months of inventory: around 5.5 months, up 0.7 months³.
Comparing Texas to the National Market
Slower growth, but similar to the South overall. National forecasts expect only 2.5 % price appreciation through 2025, and total sales staying near 4 million homes. Mortgage rates may ease slightly but are expected to hover in the mid-6% range⁴. Texas’s modest price growth aligns with broader southern market trends².
More listings and buyer leverage. Across the U.S., listings are increasing — Redfin forecasts 17 % more inventory compared to last year, expected to trend toward pre-pandemic levels⁵.
Buyer’s market advantages. In many metros, including Austin and others, home price growth has slowed — and in some cases, prices have declined, giving buyers renewed power. In early 2025, nearly 44 % of sales included seller concessions, with fewer bidding wars⁵.
