What’s going on in the Burkburnett housing market this August?

The short answer: Prices are up, listings have grown, and sellers are seeing steady activity—but buyers are gaining a bit more negotiating room. Whether you’re planning to sell, buy, or just watching the market, August’s numbers offer key insights.

Median Price Climbs Above $189K

In August 2025, the median home price in Burkburnett reached $189,950, marking a 20.2% increase year-over-year. That’s a significant jump that suggests strong demand—but the broader story is more nuanced.

The median price per square foot rose to $130.69, up 8.2% from last year. With a median home size of 1,514 sq ft, that puts the average value just under $200,000—keeping Burkburnett well below the state average, and appealing to buyers looking for affordability in North Texas.

Sales Activity Slows Slightly

Despite rising prices, closed sales came in at 19 for the month, down slightly but still showing 11.8% growth compared to August 2024. That means buyers are still stepping up—but taking a bit more time.

• Days on market: 63 (22 days longer than last year)
• Days to close: 37 (up 10 days YoY)
• Total transaction time: 100 days

Homes are taking longer to sell, even as prices increase—indicating a shift in leverage toward buyers.

If you’re selling, this means it’s more important than ever to price strategically, prep your home properly, and work with a local expert who knows how to market effectively.

Inventory Expands, Giving Buyers More Options

Active listings hit 55 in August, a 17% increase year-over-year, while months of inventory rose to 5.0—up 1.5 months YoY. This signals a clear move away from the ultra-competitive seller’s markets of the past few years.

With more homes available, buyers now have the power to shop around. Sellers, meanwhile, need to lean into smart staging, competitive pricing, and agent-led marketing to stand out.

If you’re buying, now is a great time to get into the market with more breathing room—without the panic of a bidding war.
