As we rolled through April 2025, the Texas real estate market showed signs of stabilizing after a few years of dramatic shifts. Whether you're buying, selling, or just keeping an eye on the market, here's what happened last month across the Lone Star State.

📊 Statewide Snapshot

  • Median Home Price: $339,000 (⬇️ 0.3% year-over-year)

  • Closed Sales: 29,619 (⬇️ 3.8% YoY)

  • Active Listings: 142,763 (⬆️ 32.2% YoY)

  • Months of Inventory: 5.2 months (⬆️ 1.3 YoY)

  • Median Price per Sq Ft: $175.97 (⬇️ 1.7% YoY)

What does this mean? Buyers now have more homes to choose from than they did a year ago, and sellers are seeing a more competitive market, especially when it comes to pricing correctly from day one.

⏱️ Timing Is Everything

  • Days on Market: 64 (up 6 days from last year)

  • Days to Close: 32 (about the same)

  • Total Time from Listing to Close: 96 days

Homes are taking a bit longer to sell, which is great news for buyers who need time to think—but it’s also a cue for sellers to make sure your home stands out.

🏘️ What’s Selling and What’s Not

Price range activity:

  • 🔥 $200K–$299K and $300K–$399K homes made up over 50% of sales

  • Higher-end homes ($500K–$1M+) are seeing slower movement, but there’s still interest—especially in well-located or updated homes

📈 Market Shifts to Watch

  • Inventory is growing, giving buyers more leverage

  • Pricing has plateaued—meaning sellers need to stay competitive

  • Close-to-list ratio is still strong at 94.8%, showing that well-priced homes are still commanding near-asking offers

💡 What This Means for You

  • Buyers: This is a great time to jump in with more inventory, slightly softer prices, and less bidding war pressure.

  • Sellers: Don’t panic—homes are still selling. Just make sure yours is priced right and shows well.

  • Investors: Keep an eye on properties in the $200K–$400K range—this is where most of the movement is happening.

📍 Local Perspective

In areas like DFW, Montgomery County, and the Lake Conroe region, we're seeing local trends follow the statewide patterns with a few nuances—waterfront properties and second homes are still in demand, while first-time buyers are gaining more power in suburban markets.
