🏡 Texas Real Estate Market Update – August 2, 2025

“Why Buyers Are Rethinking Timing in Late Summer”
By Robert Wink, Realtor® | Coldwell Banker Realty

As we enter the final stretch of summer, the North Texas real estate market is shifting gears. With school about to start, many families are either closing on homes or hitting pause until fall. But interestingly, savvy buyers are now eyeing August as a strategic month to act.

📉 Interest Rates Are Holding – For Now

The Fed has signaled a wait-and-see approach for further rate hikes. With mortgage rates stabilizing in the high 6% to low 7% range, buyers who were previously sidelined due to affordability concerns are cautiously re-entering the market. That’s creating more competition—but only in pockets.

🏘️ Inventory in Denton and Argyle Creeping Up

New listings are ticking upward across Argyle, Northlake, and Denton, especially in the $450K–$700K price range. Many sellers are adjusting their expectations, offering rate buy-downs, closing cost assistance, or upgrades to attract late-summer buyers. This opens the door for smart negotiations.

💡 Real Estate Tip of the Day
