"Greater Houston Housing Market Sees 8.9% Surge in Home Sales, Increased Inventory in 2025"

🏡 The Greater Houston housing market is providing a respite as we enter the fall of 2025. With significant changes, it seems like the market is running at a more measured pace.

In the third quarter of 2025, a total of 23,837 homes closed, marking an 8.9% increase compared to the same period last year. This surge in closed homes demonstrates a robust and active market that is showing signs of balance.

The average sales price in the Greater Houston area has slightly increased to $421,655, reflecting a gradual appreciation from 2024. Coupled with an average of approximately 52 days on the market, homes are not only selling, but they're transitioning at a pace that allows for careful consideration by both buyers and sellers.

Even more exciting is the number of active listings, which have reached 38,552 — the highest we have seen in several years. This influx is giving buyers more options and empowering them to make informed decisions. For sellers, this means taking strategic steps to ensure their properties shine among the competition.

The current trend in the Houston housing market is one of balance. Sellers who price their homes strategically are reaping the rewards with quick offers, while buyers, having a variety of choices, can now proceed with confidence and deliberation.
