The Greater Houston housing market continues to show steady movement as we head into the final quarter of 2025. Single-family home sales increased by 5.3 percent compared to the same time last year. This growth reflects a resilient market that continues to attract both buyers and investors, even with slight pricing adjustments.

Days on market for single-family homes rose modestly from 52 to 55 days, suggesting that properties are still moving at a healthy pace. The median home price declined about 2.1 percent, while the average price increased 2 percent to approximately $421,000. This balance indicates that while affordability remains a challenge in some areas, higher-end segments are maintaining stability.

Builders across the Houston metro area are continuing to focus on inventory that targets the $300,000 to $350,000 range. These communities are appealing to first-time homebuyers and families looking for attainable new construction options. Much of this development is happening in outer suburbs and semi-rural areas, where land remains more affordable and space for expansion is available.

In Ft. Bend County, market conditions closely mirror the wider Houston trends. Demand for quality homes remains consistent, but buyers are exercising more caution and patience. Sellers, meanwhile, are recognizing the importance of accurate pricing and strong presentation.

Looking ahead, the Houston market appears stable but sensitive to interest rate movements and regional job growth. Buyers who have been waiting for a more balanced market may find late 2025 to be an opportune time to act. For sellers, positioning a home correctly from the start remains key to attracting qualified offers.

The next few months will reveal whether the market maintains its gradual growth or cools further as we approach the new year.
