Texas housing market FAQ

What is the median home price in Texas?

The median home value in Texas is $302K as of Jul 2026, down 1.8% over the past year. Curb Report tracks Texas home values monthly from Zillow's home value index, with a county-by-county breakdown.

What is the average home price in Texas?

The average home price in Texas is about $302K as of Jul 2026. Strictly speaking that figure is the typical home value from Zillow's home value index, which behaves like a median rather than a true arithmetic mean. That is the more useful number: a real average is pulled upward by a small number of luxury sales, so it overstates what an ordinary Texas home costs.

How long does it take to sell a house in Texas?

A typical Texas listing spends 60 days on the market before it sells or is withdrawn, as of Jul 2026. That is the statewide median; individual counties vary widely, and the county breakdown below shows where homes move fastest.

Is Texas a buyer's market or a seller's market?

Texas currently has 4.46 months of supply as of May 2026, meaning it would take that long to sell every active listing at the current sales pace. Under roughly six months is conventionally read as a seller's market and above it as a buyer's market, so Texas sits on the seller-leaning side of that line today.

Is now a good time to buy a home in Texas?

Curb Report's 12-month price forecast for Texas currently points to mixed signals. Weigh it against the Texas home-price trend and each county's outlook below before you buy.

Will the Texas housing market crash?

Texas's housing crash risk is currently moderate, based on how prices compare with local fundamentals and the 2008 baseline. Elevated risk doesn't predict a crash; it flags where the downside is larger if conditions turn. See the county-by-county crash-risk breakdown on Curb Report.

How much have home values changed in Texas?
