All measurements are calculated using seasonally adjusted data, and percentage changes are calculated month-over-month, unless stated otherwise.
The latest housing data show conditions have shifted in favor of homebuyers as the spring homebuying gets underway. In particular, the housing inventory has been building up for some time now and reached levels not seen in a long time. The supply of new listings coming to the market has accelerated in recent months, partly because new construction has ramped up at a record pace during 2024. Economic uncertainty, persistent inflation, and global trade tensions are prompting increased market-timing and profit-taking activity by buyers and sellers.
Home sales pace has slowed in recent months, as reflected in rising days on the market and declining inventory turnover ratio. Year-over-year (YoY) home sales were up in January, driven primarily by a more active market for higher-end homes. Market liquidity for lower-priced homes remains constrained by high mortgage rates.
In 2024, new housing starts registered the highest annual growth in a decade, even outpacing the peak of the pandemic housing boom in 2021. That momentum has carried over into 2025.
Home prices are rising steadily and slowly. The large inventory build-up and the record number of new constructions that are underway will continue to put downward pressure on home prices.
In the near term, mortgage rates will remain in the mid-6 percent range with some narrow fluctuations. In the absence of meaningful improvement in mortgage rates, housing affordability will continue to remain a challenge. The Federal Reserve has taken a wait-and-see approach to future interest rate decisions. A decline in the job market and broad economic conditions will likely be necessary for an interest rate reduction to take place.
Home Sales in January Pulled Back Under Rising Mortgage Rates
Before heading into 2025, particularly in the fourth quarter of 2024, home sales were rising quickly. But the strong upward momentum subsided as mortgage rates moved higher following the Federal Reserve’s December rate cut, amid concerns of inflation re-acceleration.
In January 2025, statewide home sales of new and existing homes were at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 343,240, up by 1.2 percent from the same period a year ago. Nationally, the National Association of Realtors (NAR) reported a 2 percent YoY rise in existing home sales. Statewide median home price was $328,000, up slightly from a year ago at $325,000.

Sales of Low-to-Moderate Income Homes Lagged High-End Homes
The pullback in homes sales is more evident among lower-priced homes. In January, sales declined 2.8 percent YoY among homes priced between $250,000 and $350,000. Sales were relatively flat among homes priced below $250,000.
In contrast, sales in the high-end market (more than $750,000) rose 9.4 percent in January, followed by a modest 3.7 percent for homes priced between $500,000 and $750,000. The uneven pace of sales growth was also evident at the tail end of 2024. During 4Q2024, the high-end market was the most active and the bottom-tier the weakest. The mid- to upper-tier homes fell in between.

Inventory at Decade-High, Home Sales at Decade-Low Pace
The supply of new listings has accelerated in recent months, expanding active inventory to levels not seen in a decade. The end of January saw 120,100 active listings, up nearly 30 percent YoY. Months’ supply climbed to about 4.5 months, the highest in a decade and above pre-pandemic levels. Prior to the pandemic, months’ supply fluctuated near 3.5 months while active listings sat around 100,000.
Source: Texas Real Estate Research Center
A total of 46,410 new listings hit the market in January, a 17.3 percent YoY increase. In the preceding 12 months, the momentum has built up rapidly, where new listings surged at about 13 percent each month, something not seen for a long time.
Source: Texas Real Estate Research Center
Homes stayed on the market a median of 51 days in January, up eight days from the year before. Home sales pace, measured alternatively as the rate of inventory turnover, has dropped to levels not seen since 2016 and was below what normally fluctuated in a relatively balanced market. Before the pandemic, about one in five homes (20 percent) were typically sold during the month. In the last 13 months (including January 2025), the rate of inventory depletions averaged at about 15 percent.

New Housing Starts Continue to Post Strong Growth
Since the pandemic, Texas has experienced a surge in new-home construction as the state’s robust economy, friendly business environment, job opportunities, and affordable housing costs have attracted businesses and new residents. In January, single-family home starts were at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 165,050, up 10.9 percent YoY. Housing starts were down seasonally by 5.6 percent from December 2024. Texas accounts for 16.6 percent of the nation’s total new home starts.
Sources: Texas Real Estate Research Center and U.S. Census Bureau
After a two-year setback triggered by the Fed’s monetary tightening and interest rate hikes, new home starts came roared back in 2024. Between 2023 and 2024, they jumped 24.7 percent, the largest rise seen in a decade and outpacing what was recorded at the peak of the pandemic housing boom. As the spring homebuying season gets underway, buyers can expect an influx of new homes entering the market.

Home Prices Rising, Slowly and Steadily
Statewide, home prices are rising slowly and steadily. In January, the TRERC Home Price Index (HPI) recorded a 1.7 percent YoY increase, slightly smaller than in the previous two months. Nationally, the average home price appreciation captured by the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller HPI was at a faster rate of 3.9 percent. The Case-Shiller 20-City Composite HPI measures home price trends in the country’s largest and most densely populated cities (including Dallas, the only Texas city in the index), so it’s no surprise that the index’s annual home price appreciation rate typically outpaces Texas’ statewide rate. TRERC’s HPI is based on all geographic transactions, rural or urban, in the state of Texas.

Happy first day of Spring! It’s time to get your home ready for the warmer weather! Get ahead of the game with our helpful tips for spring cleaning and maintenance. From deep cleaning your kitchen to exterior inspections, we have all the tips you need to make your home sparkle and shine.
INTERIOR
• Inspect and change out HVAC filters. • Clean kitchen sink disposal. • Clean range hood filters. • Inspect your fire extinguisher(s). • Get your air conditioning system ready for summer; empty drain pans, check hose connections for leaks. • Consider getting an HVAC technician to service your system biannually. This will help it run optimally year-round. • Inspect your attic crawl spaces. Look for signs of vermin infestation. Contact a pest control professional if any concerns arise. • Run water and flush toilets in unused spaces. • Check water softener and add salt if needed. • Test your water heater’s pressure relief valve. • Test smoke/carbon monoxide detectors and replace batteries if necessary. • Spring cleaning! Now is the time to give your house a deep clean.
EXTERIOR
• Get your lawn ready for the warm temperatures. Clear your yard of any debris and aerate your lawn if needed (you might need a professional to do this.) • Early spring is the best time to lay pre-emergent herbicide. This will prevent weeds from growing. • Check exterior drainage & clean out gutters. • Inspect the exterior of your home for soil erosion and add fill dirt/sod if needed. • Inspect roof for damage, leaks and missing shingles. • Inspect exterior walls including eaves for any cracks or holes where insects or critters could enter. • Check seals around windows, caulk if necessary. • Check for loose, warped or splintered boards on your deck/patio. Now is a good time to seal/stain if needed. • If you stored your lawn furniture for the winter, bring it outdoors and give it a rinse or wash with a mild detergent. • Go ahead and have a little fun! Plant seasonal flowers to add color to your landscape. Flowers that thrive in spring in North Texas are cosmos, marigolds, zinnias and pentas.

In a sign of stabilization, Texas’ home sales rose significantly in December to deliver a strong fourth-quarter finish going into 2025. Rising sales were seen broadly across all major markets (Austin, Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio) as well as in smaller markets outside the Big Four. 4Q2024 marks the first time since the beginning of the housing recession that home sales rebounded strongly to end the year with double-digit year-over-year (YoY) growth.
Home prices remained steady and ended the year higher than a year ago. Positive year-end trends also captured rising new listings and rising inventory amid strong fourth-quarter sales momentum. Mortgage rates remained high going into 2025 despite a third round of interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve in December. Mortgage rates are likely to stay near where they are during persisting signs of market jitters over inflationary pressure.
December’s Seasonality: Small Market Sales Up, Big Four Sales Down
In most years, sales rebound in December after a weak November, and this year is not any different. What was different was that December’s seasonal rebound was driven by strong sales in markets outside the Big Four. Statewide, there were 28,868 home sales in December, up 1.6 percent from November. In the major metros, aggregate sales volume (19,066) declined by 9.4 percent, driven by a 21 percent drop in DFW and a 4.9 percent drop in Houston. Sales were up 4.9 percent in Austin and 0.5 percent San Antonio. Outside the major markets, total home sales (9,802) surged 33.5 percent from November (Table 1).
First Positive YoY Sales Since 2022
Total statewide home purchases were up 10.7 percent from a year ago, marking the first time since the 2022 housing recession that sales volumes came in higher than the year before. These strong fourth-quarter sales were broadly seen across various markets. In the Big Four, was Austin saw 7.6 percent sales growth, DFW 16.4 percent, Houston 16.5 percent, and San Antonio 8.2 percent. Home sales were up an average of 6.7 percent in smaller markets.
Positive Trends in New Listings and Inventory
Statewide new listings were up slightly in December on a month-over-month (MoM) basis. Among the Big Four, new listings rose 2.7 percent in Austin, 2.6 percent in San Antonio, and 1.6 percent in Dallas, but declined in Houston by 2.4 percent. On a YoY basis, new listings were up 7.6 percent statewide, 7 percent in Austin, 10.8 percent in DFW, 14.9 percent in Houston, and 8.4 percent in San Antonio.
During December, statewide average days on market (DoM) was 63 days, comparable to the pre-pandemic turnover pace. Average DoM was 58 days in DFW, 77 days in Austin, 53 days in Houston, and 75 days in San Antonio.
At year-end, statewide active listings totaled 123,364, slightly lower than the previous month. Austin’s MoM decline (12.3 percent) was its slowest pace of MoM decline for a December since 2021. Active listings were down slightly in San Antonio (1.5 percent) and DFW (1.4 percent). Houston’s active listings were relatively unchanged in December.
Interest Rates Remain High During Inflation Concerns
In December, the average yield on the ten-year U.S. Treasury bond increased by 3 basis points to 4.39 percent despite the Fed cutting its policy rate target by another 25 basis points. Inflation has remained persistently above the Fed’s 2 percent target, and the December Consumer Price Index (CPI) data showed signs of re-acceleration. The Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey’s 30-year fixed-rate mortgage ended December at 6.85 percent, up 16 basis points higher than at the start of the month.
New-Home Starts Increased
Statewide, building permits increased a sharp 17.7 percent MoM in December. Newly authorized permits surged 24.7 percent in DFW, while Houston and San Antonio maintained a modest upward trend, rising 5.8 percent and 2.5 percent, respectively. Building permits were relatively flat in Austin, down 1.7 percent.
Seasonally adjusted statewide single-family starts increased 9 percent MoM to 14,207 units. Houston and DFW had the highest increases at 14.4 percent (4,491) and 11.6 percent (3,670), respectively. New housing starts were up 8.4 percent (1,567) in Austin. Despite a small positive increase in building permits, San Antonio’s new single-family starts (802) dropped 14.8 from the previous month.
The state’s total value of single-family starts climbed from $29.8 billion in December 2023 to $40 billion in December 2024.
Texas HPI Up 2.1 Percent
Texas’ median sales price was $335,971 in December, a 0.3 percent MoM drop (Table 2). San Antonio was up 4 percent to $314,621, Austin 3.5 percent to $454,916, DFW 0.9 percent to $404,813, and Houston 0.7 percent to $334,930.
The Texas Repeat Sales Home Price Index, which more accurately captures home price change over time than median sales price, fell 0.1 percent month over month in December but increased 2.1 percent from a year ago.
