Cypress, TX Housing Market Report

The Cypress housing market as of December 2025 has transitioned into a landscape that increasingly favors buyers, characterized by a significant surge in inventory and extended timelines for sales. With active listings up more than 18% year-over-year to 31,689 units, the supply constraints that previously defined the Houston-The Woodlands-Sugar Land metro area have eased considerably. This influx of options, combined with a median days on market of 93—a three-week increase compared to last year—suggests that sellers no longer hold the leverage they once did, forcing a more competitive pricing environment.

Price trends over the last six months indicate a period of stabilization following a minor year-over-year decline of 1.46%. After hitting a low point of $399,941 in August 2025, the median home value has seen five consecutive months of incremental growth, reaching $400,841 in December. This slow but steady recovery suggests that while the market corrected itself from previous highs, demand remains resilient enough to prevent a deeper downturn. The sale-to-list ratio of 0.98 further confirms that while buyers are successfully negotiating small discounts, properties are still selling very close to their asking prices.

Looking ahead, both buyers and sellers must adjust their expectations to this high-inventory environment. For sellers, the 20-day increase in time on market means patience and precise initial pricing are critical; homes that are overpriced are likely to sit stagnant as buyers explore the vast available inventory. For buyers, the current climate offers a rare window of opportunity to negotiate terms and take more time with inspections and due diligence. While the rental market remains stable with a modest 0.69% annual increase, the relative flatlining of home values makes Cypress an attractive entry point for those looking for long-term equity growth in a major Texas metro area.
