A Blossoming Market 📈
New listings have sprouted by a stunning 30.3% year-over-year, with 14,793 properties making their debut on the MLS—a refreshing leap from 11,355 in the previous year. This robust growth brings a bouquet of choices to our buyers and eases that competitive edge we’ve all been feeling.

Ever walked through a field of Texas wildflowers after a good rain? That’s what our active listings look like now—up by a lush 34.9%. With 26,148 properties waiting to be picked, choices abound from cozy bungalows to grand estates.
Prices Are Gently Climbing 💲
The average list price has seen a steady climb to $448,541, marking a 3.9% increase. This gentle rise means growth without the sticker shock and keeps the dream of homeownership within reach.
Spring Sales on the Rise 🌞
After a coy start, home sales have leaped forward by 9.2% with 7,926 happy new homeowners this April. The luxury market, always a beacon of dynamism, has surged by a dazzling 33.8%. It seems patience and perseverance in the face of higher interest rates have paid off.
Balancing Act: Inventory Meets Demand ⚖️
For the first time in a while, we’re thriving in a monthly supply of 3.7—the highest since the autumn leaves of 2019. That’s inching us closer to the equilibrium point where everyone finds their perfect fit, whether it’s a charming starter home or a palatial retreat.
Superb Sales Spell Success 🏅
Total property sales have swelled by 8.7%, with dollar volumes blossoming to a whopping $4 billion! And with homes taking less time on the market, moving from 56 down to 49 days, sellers are finding swift success, and buyers are settling into their new nests faster than springtime songbirds.
