The Houston housing market remained steady in April 2025, according to the Houston Association of REALTORS® (HAR) via HAR-TV on YouTube. If you’re navigating real estate in Montgomery County or North Houston, these insights can help you better understand the local landscape and prepare for your next step.
Market Overview: Prices Hold Steady While Inventory Rises
According to HAR-TV’s latest market update, single-family home sales in Greater Houston were down just 1.1% compared to April 2024. Home prices remained stable:
- Average price: $437,047
- Median price: $339,990
These values represent statistically flat growth, meaning the market is holding steady rather than climbing rapidly as in previous years.
Inventory Growth Offers New Opportunities for Buyers
The biggest shift in April was the increase in available homes. Active listings rose 37% year-over-year, reaching 34,989—the highest inventory since August 2010, based on HAR-TV’s report.
- Inventory expanded from 3.6 months to 4.9 months
- Days on market ticked up from 50 to 54 days
This is good news for buyers who may have struggled with low inventory in past years. More listings mean more choices—and potentially less competition for each home. However, sellers should note the importance of strategic pricing and staging as the market becomes more competitive.
Townhomes and Condos: Slower Sales, Higher Supply
HAR-TV also reported that townhome and condo sales declined by 15.2% in April. Inventory for these properties reached a 7.4-month supply, indicating a shift toward a buyer’s market in this segment.
This may reflect changing preferences, as more buyers seek space and outdoor access available in single-family homes—especially in suburbs like The Woodlands, Magnolia, and Conroe.
