HomesUSA.com Reports Texas New Home Sales See Modest Dip, But Market Holds Steady
Ben Caballero, HomesUSA.com Founder and CEO
Texas new home sales showed a slight decline in June as the market adjusts to seasonal and affordability pressures, according to the latest Texas New Home Sales Report released today by HomesUSA.com and its founder and CEO, Ben Caballero, the nation’s top-ranked real estate agent.
The HomesUSA.com New Home Sales Report uses Multiple Listing Service data – the most comprehensive, current, and accurate information – from the Realtor Associations of North Texas, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio. All averages are based on three-month rolling averages to reduce short-term volatility and anomalies.
HomesUSA.com reports the three-month moving average of new home sales statewide dipped in June to 6,394, down from 6,443 in May. Houston posted 2,297 sales, a slight decline from 2,343 the previous month. Austin’s average slipped to 870 from 880, and San Antonio reported 1,073 new home sales versus 1,092 in May. In contrast, Dallas-Ft. Worth new home sales slightly rose in June to 2,153 sales versus 2,129 in May.
“With June sales down in three of Texas’ four largest markets and pending sales down in all four of its major markets, the numbers confirm my expectation that Texas 2025 new home sales likely peaked in May,” said Ben Caballero, founder and CEO of HomesUSA.com. “If historical trends prevail as I expect them to, Texas new home prices and sales numbers will drift downward for the remainder of the year.”
Caballero added a qualifier: “Unless, of course, mortgage rates fall, then I would expect Texas home sales to strengthen.”
According to HomesUSA.com’s proprietary Texas New Home Sales Index, the pace of new home sales improved as the statewide average Days on Market fell to 108.19 days in June from 111.81 days in May, another positive signal that buyers are responding more quickly to listings.
Pending new home sales, a leading indicator of future closings, declined statewide. The three-month moving average for June was 7,068 pending sales, down from 7,437 in May. While the decrease was modest, all four major markets experienced month-over-month declines.
Inventory continued to expand across Texas, as active new home listings rose to 34,203 in June from 33,710 in May. This steady growth in available properties suggests builders are maintaining strong construction activity while keeping pace with demand.
HomesUSA.com is sharing its Texas New Home Sales Report and New Home Sales Index at the same time the Commerce Department releases its nationwide New Residential Sales Report for June, set for Wednesday, July 24, 2025, at 10:00 am Eastern time.
