North Texas Real Estate Market Update: What Buyers and Sellers Need to Know — November 2025

🏡 North Texas Real Estate Market Update: What Buyers and Sellers Need to Know — November 2025

📈 Market Snapshot — November 2025

As we head into the final stretch of 2025, the North Texas housing market remains strong and steady. While activity typically slows in late fall, this year is showing surprising momentum. Buyers are adjusting to stable interest rates, and sellers who price strategically continue to see solid offers — even heading into the holidays.

Here’s a look at the latest numbers across Denton and Collin Counties:

📊 What This Means:
The market has transitioned into a healthier rhythm. Prices continue to rise modestly, but increased inventory gives buyers more leverage — creating one of the most balanced conditions we’ve seen in the past four years.

💬 What This Means for Buyers

If you’ve been waiting for the right moment, November might be your best opportunity before spring competition returns.

✅ Rates are steady: At around 6.6%, rates are giving buyers more predictability for budgeting and approval.
✅ Inventory is higher: More options mean less bidding pressure and greater negotiating room.
✅ Holiday Advantage: Sellers who list during the holidays are often more motivated — offering incentives or pricing flexibility.

➡️ Pro Tip: Focus on homes that have been listed for more than 30 days. Sellers in this category are more open to closing cost assistance or rate buydown programs.

🏠 What This Means for Sellers

While buyers have more choices, sellers who price and present their homes correctly are still winning. The most successful listings this season are:

✨ Move-in ready and well-staged — clean, bright, and emotionally inviting.
✨ Strategically priced — positioned slightly under nearby active listings to create momentum.
✨ Marketed professionally — listings with video tours, high-quality photos, and social media exposure see up to 40% more showings.

Across Denton and Collin Counties, homes are still selling for 98.1% of list price on average, with well-presented homes often exceeding asking.

💬 Expert Tip: Take advantage of lower inventory in winter — fewer listings mean less competition, and buyers relocating for work in early 2026 are already searching now.

🌆 Local Spotlight: Denton, Argyle & Northlake

The Denton and Argyle markets remain strong performers, especially among families and professionals looking for a balance between convenience and community.

• Denton: Median price sits around $427,000, supported by a strong job base and growing university district.

• Argyle: Continues to lead Denton County in appreciation with an average price of $615,000, driven by Argyle ISD’s reputation and new construction growth.
