What’s really happening in the Burkburnett housing market right now, and what does it mean for buyers and sellers?

The Burkburnett market is shifting. Median prices are down, inventory is up, and homes are still moving — but not as fast or as hot as this time last year. Whether you’re buying, selling, or just watching the market, here’s a deep dive into what the latest data tells us — and how you can use it to your advantage.

A Big Price Adjustment: Median Down 11% Year-over-Year

The median home price in Burkburnett dropped to $182,500 in September 2025 — an 11% decrease compared to this time last year.

This doesn’t necessarily mean your home has lost value. Instead, it signals a market correction from previous highs and a greater share of lower-priced listings closing this month.

👉 For buyers, this could be your window to get in before rates shift or prices rebound.
👉 For sellers, pricing strategy matters more than ever — and marketing needs to meet the moment.

Inventory Up, Competition Down

There were 56 active listings on the market in September — up 21.7% year-over-year — with 4.8 months of inventory, a solid jump from 3.5 months last year.

This means buyers now have more choices, and sellers need to compete more effectively to stand out.

More listings = more opportunity, but also more pressure to price right, stage well, and market smart.

With easy access to Sheppard AFB from Burkburnett and highly sought schools with wonderful sports and band programs, many people are seeking the small Texas town atmosphere of Burkburnett with the easy access to the base and Wichita Falls.

Sales Activity Rebounds

Closed sales rose sharply to 14 homes sold, up 75% compared to September 2024.

That’s a promising sign — it shows that despite pricing adjustments and higher inventory, buyers are still engaging with the market and making moves.

If your home has been sitting for a while, don’t panic. The right positioning — and timing — can make all the difference in getting your property sold.

Days on Market Improve Slightly

Homes spent an average of 48 days on market, just 3 days faster than a year ago. From offer to closing, the process now takes about 27 days, down from 31 last year.

Combined, the total days to sell is now 75 days, shaving off a full week compared to September 2024.

What does this mean for you?

• Buyers: You have a bit more breathing room, but well-priced homes can still move quickly.
• Sellers: Homes aren’t sitting forever — but you’ll need a competitive edge to avoid price reductions or extended timelines.

What’s the Price Per Square Foot?

The median price per square foot was $131.74, down 6.6% year-over-year.

With the average home size at 1,398 sq ft and a median year built of 1979, many Burkburnett homes are appealing to first-time buyers, investors, and military families alike.
