Texas Housing Market: Shifting in Favor of Buyers
After years of sellers calling the shots, the tides are turning across Texas—especially around DFW. Here’s what’s happening:
📈 Inventory Explosion:
Texas had 123,000 homes for sale in April 2025 — that’s 53% more than normal. Buyers finally have real options again.
⏳ Homes Sitting Longer:
Across DFW, listings now stay active 45–75 days—up 25–65%. Sellers are waiting, and that wait gives buyers leverage.
💸 Prices Cooling Off:
66% of homes are closing below list price. That’s a huge shift from the over-asking chaos of recent years.
🏠 Balanced Market Arrives:
Most DFW counties now show 4–6 months of housing supply—the sweet spot between buyer and seller control.
🌆 Buyer’s Market Leaders:
-
Hunt County: 6.5 months of supply
-
Rockwall County: 6.5 months
-
Kaufman: 5.7 months
-
Dallas: 4.8 months
-
Collin & Denton: 4.7 months
That’s balance trending toward a full buyer’s market.
Takeaway:
If you’ve been waiting for the market to cool before making your move, this might be your opening. More listings, flexible sellers, and negotiable prices are giving buyers room to breathe again.
