🏡 RGV Real Estate Market Update: July 7–13, 2025

As summer heats up, so does activity in the Rio Grande Valley real estate market. From McAllen to Brownsville, buyers and sellers are making strategic moves—and inventory is responding. Here’s your weekly snapshot of what’s happening in our local market.

📈 Inventory Update

We saw a moderate increase in new listings last week, particularly in McAllen, Mission, Edinburg, and Brownsville. Builders continue to add inventory in growing communities like Tres Lagos, Las Arboledas, and subdivisions near South McColl and Alton Gloor.

Homes priced between $225,000–$300,000 are moving the fastest, especially if they’re well-staged, competitively priced, and in great school districts.

🔑 Under Contract Activity

Buyers are still making moves—but they’re doing their homework. Properties that offer value, are move-in ready, and have modern upgrades are going under contract within days of hitting the market.

We also saw strong buyer activity in:

• North McAllen & Sharyland ISD

• Brownsville’s new construction pockets like El Valle and Palm Gardens

• Investment properties near UTRGV and South Texas College

💸 Price Adjustments

Homes that have been sitting for more than 30 days are now seeing price corrections. While demand is healthy, buyers are more selective than they were a year ago. The key? Pricing it right the first time and marketing it well.

🔍 Buyer Behavior

• First-time homebuyers are entering the market with confidence—often using down payment assistance programs.

• Move-up buyers are selling and buying simultaneously, especially in growing areas like North Edinburg and San Juan.

• Many buyers are requesting concessions (closing cost help, rate buydowns), so sellers who are flexible tend to win.

📉 Mortgage Rate Snapshot

Rates hovered around the high 6% range again last week, depending on buyer credit and loan program. The good news? Many lenders are offering creative financing, including buydowns and temporary rate relief programs—helping buyers stay motivated.

📝 Final Thoughts

The RGV market remains active and full of opportunity—but strategy matters more than ever. Whether you’re buying your first home, selling a long-time property, or investing for the future, working with a team that knows the market is essential.

Let’s talk about your goals and how to make the most of today’s market!
