Texas Real Estate Market Update – February 2025

February in Texas isn’t just one of the best times to visit—it’s also a great time to take a fresh look at the real estate market. With cool, dry weather making it perfect for house hunting, let’s dive into the latest trends shaping the Texas housing market.

Market Snapshot

The Texas real estate market in February 2025 shows a mix of shifts that buyers and sellers should keep an eye on:

  • Median Home Price: $330,000 (down 0.8% year-over-year)

  • Closed Sales: 22,842 (down 5.1% year-over-year)

  • Active Listings: 124,925 (up 29.5% year-over-year)

  • Months of Inventory: 4.5 (up 1.0 year-over-year)

What This Means for Buyers

With inventory up nearly 30%, buyers have more options than they did last year. The median price per square foot is $171.88, reflecting a slight 1.0% dip, which could mean a more favorable environment for those looking to negotiate. However, with homes spending an average of 73 days on the market—6 days longer than last year—patience and strategy are key.

What This Means for Sellers

While prices remain relatively steady, homes are taking longer to sell. With a close-to-original list price ratio of 94%, pricing your home competitively and marketing effectively are essential to attracting serious buyers. The good news? Texas remains a hot destination, and demand is strong in key price ranges, particularly between $200K-$400K, where the majority of sales occur.

February: The Perfect Time for a Texas Move

Beyond the numbers, February is an ideal time for home shopping in Texas. With cooler temperatures and lower humidity, buyers can tour properties comfortably, while sellers benefit from showcasing their homes in crisp, clear weather. Whether you're looking for a first home, an investment property, or a second home in one of Texas' top destinations—like Galveston, Fredericksburg, or the Hill Country—the market offers exciting opportunities.

Looking Ahead

As we move further into 2025, keeping an eye on mortgage rates, new inventory, and shifting buyer behavior will be key. If you're thinking about buying or selling, now is the time to strategize.

Looking back, it’s clear that real estate isn’t just about selling homes—it’s about the connections, the lessons, and the people I meet along the way. My journey has been filled with unexpected moments, growth, and friendships I never imagined. I am beyond grateful for the trust my clients have placed in me over the years, and I look forward to the many more stories that are yet to come.
