Midland Real Estate Market Update – September 2025

As we head into the fall season, the Midland Real Estate Market is balancing steady growth with some notable shifts. Whether you're buying, selling, or investing, staying on top of these trends is essential for making the right moves. Here’s your Midland Real Estate Market Update for September 2025, brought to you by the Ben Kinney Team Midland.

🔍 Home Prices Show Consistent Growth

In September 2025, the average home price in Midland is around $328,000, marking a 4.6% increase year-over-year. The median listing price remains steady near $425,000, showing that despite higher mortgage rates, housing demand is holding firm.

What’s fueling these price levels?

• A persistent shortage of available homes, especially in desirable neighborhoods like Grassland Estates, Saddle Club, and Green Tree.

• Steady demand from professionals in the energy and healthcare sectors.

• Migration to Midland as families and young professionals seek affordability compared to larger Texas markets.
  
  

🏘️ Inventory & Days on Market

Inventory remains tight, with just under 3 months of supply, leaning toward a seller’s market. Homes in move-in-ready condition are attracting the most attention.

• The median days on market is about 44 days, slightly higher than last year’s pace, showing buyers are more selective.

• Well-priced homes, especially in the $250K–$350K range, often receive multiple offers and go under contract within two weeks.
  
  

📈 Current Trends We’re Seeing

Here are a few noteworthy developments in Midland’s housing market this month:

• Rising rental demand: With rents projected to climb nearly 18% this year, investors are flocking to the rental property market.

• First-time buyers remain active, even with interest rates hovering near 7%, focusing on affordable areas and FHA loan options.

• New construction is beginning to catch up, with builders adding inventory, though not fast enough to fully balance supply.

• Relocations tied to energy jobs continue to boost demand for both home purchases and short-term furnished rentals.
  
  

🔮 Market Predictions for the Rest of 2025

Looking ahead into the last quarter of the year, we anticipate:

• Home values will rise modestly—around 2-3% through December.

• Inventory shortages will remain a challenge, particularly for entry-level homes.

• Rental prices will keep climbing, making Midland an increasingly attractive spot for real estate investors.

• Interest rates may stabilize, giving buyers more confidence heading into 2026.

💬 What This Means for You

• Sellers: Demand remains strong, and with limited competition, now is an excellent time to list—especially before the slower holiday season.

• Buyers: Be prepared to act quickly on well-priced homes. Pre-approval and a strong agent strategy will give you the edge.

• Investors: The rental market is hotter than ever. Short-term and mid-term furnished rentals, in particular, are offering strong returns.
