HOUSTON — (January 14, 2026) HAR Report — The Houston housing market in 2025 reflected a return to a more balanced pace, making it a solid year overall for both buyers and sellers. After several years of ups and downs, the Greater Houston market returned to pre-pandemic norms, even as many other large U.S. markets continue to lag.
According to the Houston Association of Realtors’ December/Full-Year 2025 Housing Market Update, total property sales for the full year were 2.3 percent above the 2024 level, highlighting continued demand across the region. Total dollar volume rose 4.5 percent to $42.9 billion. Single-family home sales also outpaced 2024 figures, climbing 3.8 percent, with 88,634 properties sold during the year compared to 85,373 in 2024.
“The past year brought a welcome sense of balance back to the Houston housing market,” said HAR Chair Theresa Hill with Compass RE Texas, LLC - Houston. “Buyers had more choices, prices were more stable and homes continued to sell at a steady pace. As we head into the new year, that stability will provide a solid foundation for continued growth.”
