The Texas real estate market exhibited robust growth in December 2024, with major metropolitan areas such as Austin, San Antonio, and the Rio Grande Valley leading the surge. Closed sales increased across these regions, reflecting heightened buyer activity and confidence. Median home prices also rose, underscoring sustained demand for housing.
Despite the Federal Reserve maintaining interest rates during this period, the housing market’s momentum remained strong. The Fed’s cautious approach, as highlighted by Vice Chair Philip Jefferson, emphasized a gradual reduction in monetary policy restraint, contributing to a stable economic environment conducive to real estate transactions.
Austin led with a notable year-over-year increase in closed sales, while San Antonio and the Rio Grande Valley experienced their own upward trends as the market gained momentum statewide. Many experts anticipate a significant boom in 2025, consistent with the cyclical nature of real estate following an election year. This trend offers exciting opportunities for buyers and investors who position themselves wisely in the current market.
