Texas Buyers Face Less Competition

In the current Texas survey, 69% of agents said their buyers faced no competing offers, showing many shoppers could move with less pressure.
Choice also improved: 32% said buyers felt they had many homes to consider, while 37% said shoppers had plenty of time overall.
Steady building helped keep inventory flowing, creating room for buyers to ask for closing-cost help, rate concessions, and repairs after inspections statewide.
Most buyers purchased after touring 4 to 10 homes. When searches paused, changing life circumstances, missing features, and high prices were top reasons.
By Late-Q3 2026, Texas was a cool buyer's market: statewide median list price was ~$360K, yearly ↓~2%, with homes taking 64 days.
