August 2025 Rockport Real Estate Market Update

The latest numbers are in for Rockport, Texas, and as we move into September, the August stats show a market that continues to favor buyers. Inventory remains high, homes are taking longer to sell, and price movements are mixed across different segments. Here’s a closer look at how the market performed last month.

Key Market Metrics

Months of Inventory: Now at 12.65, down 6.85% from July. While inventory is trending slightly lower, the market remains solidly in buyer’s territory, with more than a year’s worth of homes available at the current pace of sales.

Median Days on Market: Rose sharply to 109 days, up 51.39% month over month. This marks one of the highest averages in the past year and shows buyers are taking their time and carefully evaluating options before making offers.

List to Sold Price Ratio: Slipped to 96.2%, down 0.55% from July. Sellers are still getting close to their asking price, but the gap is widening slightly as buyers negotiate more aggressively.

Median Sold Price: Increased to $417,000, up 8.59% from the previous month. This rise points to more higher-priced homes closing in August, balancing out the longer days on market.

Additional Market Insights

Beyond the core stats, RPR data gives us a deeper look at market activity:

• New Listings: The median list price for new listings in August jumped to $345,000, up 18% from July, with 97 properties hitting the market.

• Active Listings: Median list price for active inventory held at $399,000, with 661 properties on the market. Active listings are spending a median of 129 days, reflecting the overall slowdown in sales pace.

• Pending Listings: Pending sales carried a median list price of $320,000, up 22.8% from last month, showing stronger movement in the mid-range price points.

• Sold Listings: A total of 72 properties sold in August, up 26.3% month over month, with a median price of $417,000 and a median of 109 days on market. Total sales volume was nearly $39 million, a 43% increase over July.

What This Means for Buyers and Sellers

For buyers, conditions remain favorable. Elevated inventory, longer market times, and stronger negotiating power create opportunities to find value. Even with some movement in higher price points, the overall market leans heavily in buyers’ favor.

For sellers, standing out is essential. While homes are still closing at healthy prices, the extended days on market mean buyers are more selective. Pricing accurately, investing in presentation, and being flexible in negotiations are key strategies for success.

Looking Ahead

As we head into fall, we’ll be watching closely to see whether inventory continues to edge down or if longer days on market place additional pressure on sellers. September’s numbers will provide insight into whether buyer demand is steady enough to keep prices elevated or if more adjustments are on the horizon.
