Navigating Houston’s Evolving Real Estate Market: Your 2025 Guide

The Houston real estate market is constantly shifting, and mid-2025 data from the Houston Association of Realtors (HAR.com) shows some interesting trends. If you’re looking to buy or sell a home here, understanding these dynamics is crucial.

We’re seeing a significant increase in single-family home inventory, with a remarkable 38,713 active listings as of June 2025—a 31.8 percent jump from last year. This expanded selection is great news for Houston homebuyers, offering more choices than ever. While home sales are up a healthy 12.5 percent year-over-year, reaching 8,588 properties sold, the number of homes currently under contract (pending or option pending) has seen a decrease, now at 6,950, down 20.3 percent.

Pricing is also adjusting. The average sales price for single-family homes dipped slightly by 0.7 percent to $438,230, and the median price is down 1.2 percent to $339,425. This indicates a more balanced market, with more than 60% of homes reportedly selling below their initial asking price.

In a market with more inventory and adjusting prices, having an experienced guide is invaluable. Don’t navigate these waters alone.
