    luxury real estate

    Houston had 2nd-highest share of luxury home sales in Texas in 2025

    This home at 10106 Meadow Lake Ln. in Houston's Briargrove Park neighborhood is on the market for $1.95 million.

    A new luxury real estate report reveals Texas broke a record for the highest number of million-dollar homes sold from November 2024 to October 2025, and the Houston-Pasadena-The Woodlands metro boasted the second-largest share of million-dollar home sales statewide.

    A total of 14,418 Texas homes were sold for at least $1 million last year, generating a record-breaking $24.5 billion, according to Texas Realtors' 2025 Texas Sales of Million-Dollar Homes Report. The number of luxury home sales in the state soared 12 percent compared to the previous year.

    Million-dollar home sales in the Houston metro made up 27 percent of all luxury home sale transactions in Texas during the 12-month period, the report found. The total sales dollar volume of Houston-area homes that sold for $1 million or more added up to about $6.8 billion last year, or about $1.1 billion more than it did during the previous period from November 2023 to October 2024.

    Nearly 3,950 million-dollar homes were sold in the Houston region at an average price of $379 per square foot. For comparison, the average price per square foot for all residential homes in the metro was $176.

    Both figures are lower than the statewide average, according to Texas Realtors.

    "The average price per square foot of $1 million+ homes increased to $423 from $418 last year and was more than double the $188 average price per square foot of all Texas homes," the report said.

    Houston also had the second-highest median closing price for its million-dollar homes statewide, at about $1.39 million.

    Furthermore, Houston's luxury homes are significantly larger the typical residential home in the metro. A million-dollar home in the metro spanned 4,397 square feet, compared to 2,115 median square feet for all residential homes.

    "High-end homes continue to be a small but mighty segment of the market," said Texas Realtors chairman Jennifer Wauhob in a press release. "Texans remain confident in the value of these properties, whether they are drawn to outstanding amenities, prime locations, or both."

    Elsewhere in Texas, Dallas-Fort Worth Arlington saw the No. 1 highest share of million-dollar home sales in Texas, at 38 percent, followed by Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos (19 percent), the rest of Texas (11 percent), and San Antonio-New Braunfels (5 percent).
