Despite home-price increases in most markets across Texas, the statewide median declined 1.2% year over year to $335,000 in 2025 due to price cuts in the state’s four major markets, according to the Real Estate Year in Review from Texas REALTORS®.

In Dallas-Fort Worth, the median declined 2.1% year over year to $390,000. That meant a price-per-square foot of $191.15.

“Some markets where prices jumped quickly a few years ago are now dipping a bit, while other areas that had a slower rise are still going strong,” Jennifer Wauhob, chairman of Texas REALTORS®, said in a press release. “It’s crucial to know your own market and base decisions on hyper-local information.”

Throughout the year, 335,390 Texas homes sold in 2025, up 1.3% from 2024. Median days on market increased 23.1%, hitting an average of 67 days — a week longer than a year prior.

Given the pace of sales, Texas had an average 4.6-month inventory in 2025, up from 4.1 months in 2024.

In Dallas-Fort Worth, 92,172 homes sold, up 0.5% year over year. Homes spent a median 62 days on the market, up 10 days annually. That amounted to a 3.5-month inventory, up from 3.2 months in 2024.

“You don’t decide how warmly to dress based on a national or statewide forecast,” Wauhob added. “Even if you’ve heard that ‘the market’ is doing this or that, it may not be true where you live.”
