🔎 What This Means for You
👉 For Buyers
More listings are hitting the market — up nearly 18% compared to last year — which means more choices and, in many cases, a bit more negotiating power. Showings are still strong, so it’s clear that motivated buyers are out there and taking advantage of today’s opportunities.
👉 For Sellers
Pending sales and closings are both down, which means competition is a little tougher. Homes are still moving, but strategy is key. Pricing right and presenting your home in its best light will help you stand out and capture those active buyers.
👉 For Investors
With more homes coming off-market and longer days on market in many areas, opportunities are growing for those who are ready to negotiate and find value plays. This could be a great time to watch closely for deals.
🌟 The Big Picture
While national headlines talk broadly about the real estate market, remember that Houston is hyper local. Every neighborhood tells its own story — some are moving faster, while others offer more room for negotiation.
