💰 How Much Do You Really Need to Buy a Home in Texas in 2025?

If you’re thinking about buying a home in Texas this year, a new report from Realtor.com offers some eye-opening numbers: you’ll need to earn at least $99,000 annually to comfortably afford a median-priced home in the state.

While Texas remains more affordable than many other markets, this figure is still 30% higher than the state’s median household income of $75,780. That gap—over $23,000—highlights the growing challenge for buyers trying to break into the housing market.

To put things into perspective:

• 🏡 The median list price in DFW last month was $439,900, slightly down 2.2% from the previous year.
• 💸 Even as prices dip and mortgage rates stabilize, affordability is still a major hurdle for many would-be buyers.

Texas ranks among 19 states where homeownership still falls just under the six-figure income threshold—but many buyers are still feeling priced out.

📈 On the flip side, the most affordable states include Iowa, Kansas, and Ohio, where median home prices and required incomes are far lower. But if your heart is set on Texas, especially the DFW area, having a strong plan, local guidance, and creative financing options is more important than ever.

Whether you’re buying your first home or moving up, I'm here to help you navigate the market and make smart, informed decisions every step of the way.
