As we close out the fourth quarter of 2025, the Amarillo housing market continues to show steady performance with signs of tightening inventory and modest price growth. While conditions remain balanced, the data points to a market that increasingly favors well-prepared buyers and sellers who understand current trends.
Home Prices Continue to Rise
The median home price in Amarillo reached $226,153 in Q4 2025, reflecting a 2.8% increase compared to the same quarter last year. This gradual appreciation signals ongoing demand without the volatility seen in larger metropolitan markets. Homes priced between $200,000 and $299,999 made up the largest share of sales, accounting for 37.1%, underscoring continued strength in the mid-price range.
Inventory Tightens Further
Active listings declined 17% year-over-year, with 534 homes on the market in Q4. At the same time, months of inventory dropped to 2.9, down from 3.7 in Q4 2024. Inventory below four months typically indicates a seller-leaning market, particularly for well-priced and move-in-ready homes.
Sales Activity Holds Steady
Closed sales increased 2.7%, with 501 homes sold during the quarter. Despite higher interest rates and longer timelines, buyer demand has remained resilient, especially for homes in desirable neighborhoods and accessible price points.
Days on Market Increase Slightly
Homes spent an average of 53 days on the market, with an additional 30 days to close, bringing the total transaction timeline to 83 days—about nine days longer than Q4 2024. This suggests buyers are taking a bit more time to make decisions, emphasizing the importance of accurate pricing and strong presentation.
What This Means for Buyers and Sellers
-
Sellers: Limited inventory creates opportunity, but pricing correctly is key as buyers are more deliberate.
-
Buyers: While competition exists, increased days on market may provide room for negotiation—especially on homes that are overpriced or need updates.
-
Investors: Stable appreciation and consistent sales volume continue to make Amarillo an attractive, long-term market.
