Two homes list in Houston’s western suburbs in the same week. One is priced at $550,000. The other at $1.25 million. The cheaper home sits for 90 days. The expensive one sells over asking with multiple offers. That split, counterintuitive on its surface, is what Bryan Lillis, team lead at Luxe Realty Houston, describes as ...

In a city with enough inventory to give buyers real leverage, the segment of the Houston housing market that should be busiest, homes priced between $300,000 and $600,000, is among the slowest to move. Properties below $300,000 are attracting first-time and value-oriented buyers, and listings above $500,000 continue to draw move-up purchasers with less rate ...

Sellers in Houston typically expect to cut their listing price 5 to 6 percent just to generate interest, according to Kurt Peterson, a real estate agent with World Wide Realty based in Texas.

The Houston metro area keeps expanding outward, with thousands of new homes rising in communities west, north, and south of the city center. That growth is creating a specific problem for homeowners in the $450,000 to $700,000 range: their properties are competing against brand-new builds that come with lower prices, builder-subsidized mortgage rates, and covered ...

After a period of declining values that followed Austin’s pandemic-era price surge, prices in the city’s luxury segment appear to have stopped falling. For buyers who have been waiting for a better deal, that changes the calculus – but the political and economic uncertainty that suppressed demand in the first place has not fully resolved, ...

Austin’s median home price has dropped roughly 10% – from around $499,000 to $450,000, according to Laura Blessing, team leader of Blessed Life Realty Group at Keller Williams Realty. But that number obscures what confuses sellers: why one home on a given street sells in a week with competing offers while the house three doors ...

A few years ago, Dallas–Fort Worth buyers competed in bidding wars and waived inspections. Now they are asking sellers to help cover their costs – and in most transactions, they are getting it. According to Katherine Hubbard of DFW 1% Listings, a flat-fee brokerage in the Dallas–Fort Worth metro, roughly 90 percent of her current ...

When a large landlord or equity fund lists a former rental property in Dallas-Fort Worth, the home that reaches the market is not always what a buyer expects. These were investment assets managed for cash flow, not curb appeal. Deferred maintenance is common. Cosmetic updates were rarely a priority. And for buyers drawn to the ...

The gap between Houston’s residential market and its coastal neighbor shows what happens when short-term rental speculation meets a correction. Harris County, Texas, currently has roughly six months of housing inventory – enough to classify it as a balanced-to-soft market where sellers need to price carefully and present homes in strong condition. But the sharper ...

The U.S. rental market built aggressively during the pandemic era, particularly in Sunbelt cities like Nashville, Austin, and Dallas. Now much of that new inventory, especially high-end apartments, is sitting partially empty, competing for renters whose budgets have tightened considerably since construction began. The disconnect is straightforward: developers built expensive Class A apartments in markets ...

For buyers waiting on the largest purchase of their lives, the appraisal process is one of the last black boxes in a home purchase. Turnaround time isn’t a single number; it’s the sum of scheduling, inspection, report production, quality review, and any revision cycles that follow, and thin appraiser panels and uncontrolled revision cycles are ...
