The Killeen metro housing market is showing signs of change as spring progresses. Data from March reveals interesting shifts in how long homes stay on the market and the overall availability of properties. These trends are important for anyone interested in buying or selling in the area right now. Whether you’re buying, selling, or just watching the market, these changes offer some interesting insights about where things might be headed next.

Home sales saw a solid boost in March. A total of 528 homes sold across the Killeen metro area, up from 455 in February and even slightly higher than the 514 homes sold in March 2024. For the first quarter of 2025, that adds up to 1,345 homes sold, which is more than the same time last year.

Killeen led the region again with 138 homes sold, up from 118 the month before. Temple followed with 108 homes sold, while Belton sold from 22 homes in February to 38 in March.

In March 2025, more homes were sold in the Killeen area compared to February and the same month last year. However, home prices decreased slightly. The median sale price dropped to $269,900 from $275,500 in February, a difference of $5,600. Compared to March 2024, the price remained nearly the same, with only a $100 difference, indicating that prices have been relatively stable year-over-year.

All the major cities in the metro area saw price drops. The average home price in Killeen went down to $215,000. Copperas Cove remained the most affordable at $202,500, while Harker Heights, the priciest of the group, still saw a dip to $315,000 from $338,500.

A sign that the market may be shifting toward buyers is the way homes are sitting longer. The average days to sell increased from 102 to 118 compared to last year, and inventory rose from 3.9 to 5.3 months.

If you’re thinking about buying, the current market might work in your favor. Prices have softened, inventory is growing, and sellers may be more open to negotiation. On the other hand, if you’re selling, pricing your home competitively and preparing for a slightly longer selling period could help you stand out. All in all, the Killeen metro market is active, with more movement and more choices, a good sign of balance returning after years of ups and downs.
