The Texas Quarterly Housing Report for third quarter of 2026 

Median home prices rose in many metros. The biggest percentage increases from last year were in Abilene (22%), Texarkana (13.3%) and Beaumont/Port Arthur (10.7%). Most price decreases were under 2%, except for Eagle Pass (-10.4%) and Sherman-Denison (-8.9%). Statewide, the median home price fell 0.4%, to $333,628.

Q3 saw 154,788 active listings—a 2.8% increase. Roughly two-thirds of listings were in the greater Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, San Antonio, and Austin areas. Some metros saw big year-over-year percentage increases, including Bryan-College Station (38.3%), Odessa (22.7%), and Laredo (19.1%).

Closed sales dropped 2.4% this year. Slightly more than half of the tracked metros saw percentage decreases, with the largest being Corpus Christi (-12.1%), Abilene (-12%), and Killeen-Temple (-11.4%). Meanwhile, Odessa increased its percentage of closed sales by 26.6%.

Homes stayed on the market a little longer. Counting days on market and days to close, this year’s statewide total of 99 days is two more than this time last year. Less than half of the tracked metros saw increases of two weeks or less, except for Eagle Pass’s 37 days. The shortest total for any tracked metro was Amarillo’s 67 days.
