Rowlett, TX Housing Market Update – Year-End 2025

Latest Update: January 2026 • Data via NTREIS

Key Highlights

  • Median Price: $375,000 (−3.9% YoY)
  • Closed Sales: 772 (+6.8% YoY)
  • Active Listings: 300 (+40.2% YoY)
  • Months of Inventory: 3.6 (+0.2 YoY)

PRICES
Rowlett’s median home price ended 2025 at $375,000, down 3.9% year over year. This pullback points to a market where buyers are more payment-sensitive and less likely to stretch when they have choices. Price remains strong relative to recent years, but the pace is no longer driven by scarcity alone.

SALES ACTIVITY
Closed sales increased to 772, up 6.8% from the prior year. That gain suggests demand is still present in Rowlett, even as pricing has softened. Buyers are still moving forward, but the wins are going to listings that feel well-positioned versus “best-case” pricing.

INVENTORY
Active listings jumped to 300, a 40.2% increase year over year. More inventory changes the experience on both sides of the transaction—buyers can compare, pause, and negotiate, while sellers have to compete more directly on condition, presentation, and price. As options increase, “good enough” is less likely to stand out.

MARKET BALANCE
Months of inventory rose to 3.6, moving Rowlett closer to a balanced market. It’s not an oversupplied environment, but it is enough to reduce urgency and increase negotiation—especially for homes that are dated, overpriced, or not show-ready. The market is still moving, but the gap between the best-positioned listings and the rest is wider than it was a year ago.

What Sellers Need to Know

  • With inventory up, pricing correctly from the start matters more than “testing” a high number.
  • Buyers are comparing homes closely, so condition, staging, and professional marketing have a bigger impact.
  • Expect more negotiation on repairs and concessions, especially if a home hasn’t been updated recently.
  • Homes that are positioned well can still sell quickly, but the margin for error is smaller than last year.

What Buyers Need to Know

  • More available homes means you can be more selective and less reactive.
  • Negotiation opportunities are improving—especially on listings that have been sitting or feel overpriced.
  • Well-priced, move-in-ready homes can still attract competition, so being prepared remains important.
  • Focus on value: layout, condition, location, and long-term fit matter more than chasing short-term deals.

2026 Rowlett Housing Market Forecast

Looking ahead to 2026, Rowlett is likely to remain in a more balanced market environment, with inventory continuing to shape buyer leverage and seller strategy. If active listings stay elevated, buyers should have continued room to negotiate—particularly on homes that are dated, overpriced, or not presented well. Pricing expectations are likely to remain steady to slightly soft in the near term, with value holding best in neighborhoods and home types that consistently draw demand. Mortgage rates will continue to be the biggest swing factor: if rates remain high, buyers will stay payment-driven and selective; if rates ease, demand could rebound quickly during the spring and early summer season. Overall, 2026 should reward realistic pricing, strong preparation, and thoughtful timing more than urgency alone.
