Over the past several months, I’ve had many conversations with clients about the real value of their home equity. It’s easy to feel optimistic when you see high home prices, but a closer look reveals a more nuanced picture. Since fall 2025, inflation-adjusted home values have actually declined by about 4% in Texas and 2% nationally. What this means is that, even though nominal prices are up, your real purchasing power—the true value of your equity—isn’t exceeding where it stood back in 2019.
After more than 17 years helping buyers, sellers, and investors navigate the ups and downs of our market, I know how important it is to understand both the numbers and the story behind them. If you’re weighing your options, remember that every real estate journey is unique. My focus remains on providing clear, informed guidance so you can make decisions with confidence in an ever-evolving market.
