What Midland TX Buyers Must Know From August 2025
Why August 2025 Matters Today
Before the August 2026 report is available, August 2025 gives you a useful reference point for Midland. It shows where supply, demand, pace, and price came in during the same month one year earlier.
This is not a year-over-year comparison yet because the upcoming month has not closed. The value of the 2025 report is that it gives you a clear baseline before the next complete August numbers are published.
The practical read is not whether one year was better or worse. It is knowing what the prior August looked like so you can recognize what changed when the new report arrives. Look forward to our August market update coming soon.
What the August 2025 Report Showed
Where Prices Came In
Median + AverageCompleted sales in the 2025 report came in at a $366,060 median price, a $419,305 average price, and $182 per square foot. Those figures show where closed activity landed during the month, but they do not prove that every home shared the same value trend. When the upcoming August report is published, check whether the price measures changed and whether the mix of homes that closed may help explain the difference.
How Much Supply Was Available
Active + New + InventoryLast August reported 769 active listings, 348 new listings, and 3.5 months of inventory. Together, those figures describe the available supply and how it related to the pace of sales. When the 2026 update arrives, check whether you have more or fewer homes to compare and whether months of inventory moved in the same direction.
How Demand and Pace Came In
Closed + Pending + DOMThe prior August included 257 closed sales, 249 pending sales, and 38 Days on Market. Those figures show the level of completed and in-progress activity and the pace of completed sales during the month. In the next report, check whether activity increased or decreased and whether homes took more or less time to sell.
Together, these figures provide a clear picture of the Midland market one year before the upcoming August update. They show the supply available, the activity that moved through the market, the pace of completed sales, and where prices came in. Once the 2026 report is available, compare the same categories before applying the differences to a specific home.
What to Watch When the August 2026 Report Arrives
The August 2025 data provides a baseline for supply, activity, pace, and price. When the August 2026 update arrives, focus on whether these three conditions changed.
There were enough homes to compare, but more choice did not make every listing a good value. In the 2026 update, watch whether inventory expands or contracts and whether that changes how much leverage you have when comparing homes.
Pending and closed sales were close, which suggests much of the activity moving under contract was also reaching the closing table. In the 2026 update, watch whether that relationship holds and whether homes take more or less time to sell.
The average price came in above the median, which may reflect more higher-priced homes closing during the month. In the 2026 update, watch whether those measures move together, then compare the specific home’s condition, location, and comparable sales.
