Houston Housing Market Stays Steady — Here’s What That Means for Investors

Based on HAR’s April 2025 Report | By Jet Lending


While national markets wobble under rate pressure and inventory swings, Houston continues to prove it’s one of the most resilient real estate ecosystems in the country.

According to HAR’s April 2025 Market Report, home prices and sales remained stable, with subtle shifts pointing to strong opportunities for active investors who know how to structure deals and move decisively.

Let’s break it down:


🔍 The Data: What’s Happening in Houston?

  • Single-family home sales: Down just 1.1% YoY — nearly flat

  • Median price: $339,990 (unchanged YoY)

  • Average price: $437,407 (flat YoY)

  • Inventory: Up 37% to 34,989 listings — highest since 2010

  • Days on Market: Up from 50 to 54

  • Pending sales: Up 13.6% — signaling a strong Q2 ahead

  • Townhome/Condo Sales: Down 15.2%, but inventory at a 7.4-month supply — the highest since 2011


📈 What It Means for Real Estate Investors

1. Inventory Surge = Opportunity

With listings at their highest level in over a decade, investors have more negotiating power and less competition for value-add deals.

2. Price Stability = Predictability

Flat pricing doesn’t mean stagnation — it means certainty. This is a great window for acquisition, repositioning, and refinance plays.

3. Pending Sales Surge = Strong Buyer Appetite

13.6% more contracts pending means your flip exit timing is aligning with demand. Fund fast, rehab smart, exit clean.
