North Texas Real Estate Market Update
Why Now Might Be the Right Time To Make Your Move
If you hit pause on your home search—or your plans to sell—last year, you weren’t the only one. According to recent data, around 70% of potential buyers delayed their move in 2024 due to shifting market conditions.
And frankly, that made sense.
Inventory was historically low. Home prices were high. Mortgage rates were unpredictable. All of that made it hard to take the next step with confidence, whether you were buying, selling, or both.
But here’s the truth: the market is shifting again—this time in a direction that might work in your favor. If you’ve been on the sidelines, now might be the right moment to reenter with fresh momentum.
Let’s break down why.
The Inventory Sweet Spot Has Arrived
One of the biggest hurdles over the past two years has been limited housing inventory—especially here in North Texas communities like Flower Mound, Southlake, Argyle, and Highland Village. Homeowners were hesitant to list, and new builds couldn’t come fast enough.
That trend is changing.
Builders have ramped up construction. Homeowners are regaining confidence. The result? Inventory is finally increasing, giving you more options whether you're buying your first home, relocating, or making a lifestyle change.
Why This Matters for Buyers:
-
More selection: With more listings, you're more likely to find a home that fits your needs and goals—whether that means more space, less maintenance, or a new location.
-
Less competition: During peak market seasons, bidding wars were common. More inventory helps balance demand.
Why This Matters for Sellers:
-
More confident buyers: As inventory rises, buyers feel empowered to make decisions—meaning they’re more likely to act when they find the right fit.
-
Balanced timing: There are enough homes to help you find your next place, but not so many that your current home will sit on the market.
This balance of demand and supply is what we call a “sweet spot” market.
Local insight: In Flower Mound’s Canyon Falls and Southlake’s Carillon communities, we’re seeing more active listings—but homes still go under contract quickly when priced correctly.
The Numbers: Inventory Is Climbing—and That’s a Good Thing
According to Realtor.com, housing inventory has been on the rise for 17 consecutive months—a trend many experts say will continue into late 2025.
This matters for both sides of the market:
-
If you're a buyer, waiting may mean more competition later this year.
-
If you're a seller, listing now gives you the chance to stand out before more homes flood the market.
As ResiClub Co-Founder Lance Lambert notes:
“The fact that inventory is rising year-over-year strongly suggests that national active housing inventory for sale is likely to end the year higher.”
Translation? You may have more leverage right now than you will six months from now.
Mortgage Rates Are Stabilizing—Giving You Planning Power
In 2023, mortgage rates were like a roller coaster. But 2025 is a different story.
Rates are still higher than the pre-pandemic lows—but they’ve stabilized, allowing you to plan more confidently. Buyers can now assess long-term affordability with better accuracy. And sellers? You're working with more prepared, financially qualified buyers.
Did you know? The BlueFuse Buyer Blueprint includes a lender consultation so you can understand what you can afford now—and how your options might change if rates drop.
Why Waiting Could Backfire
It’s tempting to keep waiting for “perfect” conditions. But here’s the reality:
-
If you wait too long to sell, your property could get lost in a more crowded market.
-
If you wait too long to buy, increased competition could drive up prices—even if rates dip.
Real estate success comes down to timing + strategy. And with the right approach, now could be your moment.
