Texas Real Estate Market News for 2025
Here are some of the most noteworthy Texas real estate news stories and trends we will focus on in early 2025:
- Home prices in most Texas cities remained flat or even dipped slightly during 2024. But in 2025, we expect prices to begin rising gradually again.
- The Austin metro area is the one big exception. Home prices in Austin have been dropping steadily for nearly two years, and they might have further to fall.
- Recent news reports suggest that the Texas housing market has become more balanced over the past year, with neither sellers nor buyers having a strong advantage.
- A recent forecast from Realtor.com predicted that home sales and prices would rise in 2025, for all major metros in Texas including Austin-Round Rock.
- Mortgage rates are currently on the decline and some analysts expect them to fall further over the coming months. This could bring more buyers into the market.
- Inventory levels have improved over the past year, giving buyers more properties to choose from and a bit more negotiating leverage as well.
- Overall, the Texas real estate market is moving at a slower pace as we enter 2025. This is partly due to the inventory gains mentioned above.
