June 2025 Houston Market Update: What You Need to Know

As summer settles in, Houston’s real estate market is showing signs of change. June brought a noticeable shift in inventory, pricing trends, and buyer behavior. Whether you're thinking about buying, selling, or just staying informed, here’s a quick breakdown of what’s happening across the greater Houston area.

Inventory is Up

In June, Houston saw approximately 15,300 homes listed — a 32% increase compared to the same time last year. More inventory means buyers now have more options, and sellers may need to be more strategic to stand out in a more competitive market.

Prices Remain Steady

The median sold price in June was $323,300, a slight increase of about 1.6% year-over-year. While prices are still holding steady, the market has cooled compared to the rapid climbs we saw in previous years.

Homes Are Taking Longer to Sell

The average home sat on the market for about 37 days in June, up nearly 9% from the year before. Additionally, around 65% of homes sold below asking price. Buyers are moving cautiously, and sellers are having to adjust expectations accordingly.

What This Means for You

If you’re buying:
Now is a good time to start your search. Increased inventory gives you more room to explore options, negotiate, and make a decision that fits your timeline and budget.

If you’re selling:
The right pricing, preparation, and marketing strategy are more important than ever. With more listings available, it’s crucial to make your home stand out from the rest.
