Texas continues to experience dynamic shifts in 2025, with supply growing and prices showing signs of moderation:
Rising Inventory Boosts Buyer Leverage
- Inventory has increased significantly, shifting the housing market toward a buyer’s advantage. Sellers are responding with price reductions and greater flexibility.
Stable to Slightly Rising Home Prices
- The median Texas home price is now around $356,000, showing a modest 0.6% increase over last year. In Q1, homes often remained on the market longer, reflecting a balanced market.
More Home Sales and Listings Available
- Homes sold are up about 4.4% year-over-year, while available listings have grown by roughly 17.5%, offering clients more options.
Austin Cooling, San Antonio Stabilizing
- Austin is seeing a slight decline in home prices (around −2.9%), increasing buyer bargaining power. Meanwhile, San Antonio’s homes remain affordable, with stable pricing and longer sales timelines.
Legal Considerations for Texas Real Estate Clients
Whether you’re buying, selling, investing, or leasing in this shifting landscape, the legal nuances matter. Here’s how I can support you:
Buyer Negotiation & Contract Strategy
With more homes available and negotiating power favoring buyers, it’s vital to craft agreements that reflect current market conditions, covering price flexibility, contingencies, and closing incentives.
Seller Protections & Disclosures
Even in stabilizing markets, legal clarity around statutory disclosures, property conditions, and contract terms is essential to reduce risk and streamline transactions.
Real Estate Investment & Property Management
For investors and developers operating in hot-but-changing markets, tailored strategies around zoning, transactions, and tenant agreements ensure legal and operational clarity.
