Texas Home Sales Climb in Q3 2025 — DFW Market Stays Strong
The latest Texas REALTORS® Q3 2025 Housing Report shows encouraging signs for both buyers and sellers across the state. Overall home sales rose 4.9% year-over-year, marking a solid rebound in market activity. In the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area, closings increased 3.7% to 24,664 for the quarter.
Prices Hold Steady Amid Growing Inventory
Statewide, the median home price edged down 1.5% to $335,000. In Dallas, the median slipped just 0.8% to $392,000 — a modest adjustment that reflects a market finding balance after several years of sharp appreciation. While 14 major Texas markets saw price gains and 12 saw slight declines, overall values remain resilient.
Listings Up, Giving Buyers More Choice
Active listings across Texas surged 20.9% to more than 153,000 homes, expanding statewide housing supply to 5.5 months (up from 4.7 months in 2024). The DFW region mirrored that trend with inventory up 18.6% and a 4.6-month supply — compared with four months a year ago. For buyers, this means more selection and less competition than in recent years.
Time on Market Creeps Up Slightly
The typical Texas home spent 96 days on the market from listing to closing — about six days longer than a year ago. In Dallas-Fort Worth, homes averaged 91 days, roughly nine days longer than Q3 2024. That slight slowdown reflects a more deliberate, data-driven market where well-priced homes still move quickly.
What This Means for Buyers & Sellers
For Buyers
- More inventory = better selection and negotiating room.
- Slightly longer timelines — get fully underwritten to move fast on the right home.
- Use a local CMA to understand micro-market pricing.
For Sellers
- Demand remains strong — pricing and presentation still drive results.
- Expect measured days on market; pre-list prep and strategic pricing matter.
- Consider incentives (closing costs/rate buydown) to widen your buyer pool.
A Healthy, Balanced Real Estate Landscape
“Texas is such a great place to call home that it’s not surprising for home sales to remain strong,” said Christy Gessler, chairman of Texas REALTORS®. “Our pro-business, pro-job atmosphere supports our state’s robust economy, and Realtors are key contributors to this growth.”
With continued demand, stable pricing, and growing availability, the Texas market appears well-positioned heading into 2026 — offering opportunities for both buyers seeking options and sellers looking to capitalize on strong statewide demand.
