HOUSTON AREA HOME SALES HEAT UP IN MAY

According to the Houston Association of Realtors’ June 2025 report, single-family home sales increased 12.5% compared to last June, while showing a 5.2% dip from May. Total property sales rose 10.4% year-over-year, but declined 5.4% month-over-month.

Active listings continue to climb, up 31.8% from last year and 2.6% from last month, boosting inventory and favoring buyers.

Houston’s housing inventory grew from 4.2 months in June 2024 to 5.4 months in June 2025 — the highest level since 2012 and above the national average of 4.6 months, according to the National Association of Realtors.

Days on Market also edged up slightly, from 47 to 49 days year-over-year.

“While the U.S. housing market has struggled to return to pre-pandemic levels, Houston’s sales have remained steady thanks to a strong local economy,” said HAR Chief Economist Dr. Ted C. Jones. “However, home prices are softening slightly due to the lowest affordability in 40 years and growing inventory.”
