December 2025 Housing Market Snapshot: Amarillo & the Texas Panhandle

As 2025 came to a close, the latest housing reports from the Amarillo Association of REALTORS® offer a clear picture of how real estate is performing across Amarillo and several key Panhandle markets. While each community shows its own patterns, the overall story is one of steady demand, shifting inventory levels, and continued price resilience.

Below, we break down what the December 2025 data means for buyers, sellers, and homeowners in Amarillo, Borger, Canyon, Dumas, and the greater Amarillo MSA.

Amarillo: Prices Up, Inventory Tight

Amarillo closed December 2025 with a median sales price of $228,000, reflecting a 6.3% increase compared to December 2024. This continued appreciation suggests steady buyer demand despite longer timelines to complete transactions.

• Active listings: Down 17% year-over-year (534 homes)
  
  
• Closed sales: Up 17.8% (172 transactions)
  
  
• Days on market:
  
  
  • 53 days active
    
    
  • 30 days to close
    
    
  • 83 days total, four days longer than last year
    
    
• Months of inventory: 2.9 (down from 3.7)
  
  

What this means: Amarillo remains a market where well-priced, well-presented homes can still attract buyers, but sellers should expect a more deliberate pace. Buyers may find slightly more room for inspections and negotiations compared to faster-paced years.

Borger: Significant Price Growth with Rising Inventory

Borger recorded one of the most notable year-over-year price increases in the region. The median price rose to $184,950, a 37% increase from December 2024.

• Active listings: Up 5.8% (55 homes)
  
  
• Closed sales: Up 22.2% (11 transactions)
  
  
• Days on market:
  
  
  • 70 days active
    
    
  • 39 days to close
    
    
  • 109 days total, 15 days longer than last year
    
    
• Months of inventory: 5.3 (up from 5.0)
  
  

What this means: Borger is showing strong price movement, but longer marketing times and higher inventory suggest buyers have options. Sellers benefit from pricing accuracy and patience, while buyers may find opportunities through thoughtful negotiation.

Canyon: Fewer Listings, Faster Sales

Canyon’s December data reflects a different dynamic. The median price declined 8.1% to $271,500, while both inventory and days on market moved favorably for sellers.

• Active listings: Down 43.6% (22 homes)
  
  
• Closed sales: Up 25% (10 transactions)
  
  
• Days on market:
  
  
  • 39 days active
    
    
  • 38 days to close
    
    
  • 77 days total, 10 days faster than last year
    
    
• Months of inventory: 1.5 (down from 2.8)
  
  

What this means: Canyon remains a tight market with limited inventory. Homes that enter the market may move quickly, especially when aligned with current pricing trends. Buyers should be prepared to act decisively, while sellers benefit from reduced competition.

Amarillo MSA: Balanced Growth Across the Region

Looking at the broader Amarillo metropolitan area, the median price increased 7.6% to $261,500, reinforcing the region’s overall stability.

• Active listings: Down 14.6% (823 homes)
  
  
• Closed sales: Up 22.1% (243 transactions)
  
  
• Days on market:
  
  
  • 55 days active
    
    
  • 31 days to close
    
    
  • 86 days total, five days faster than last year
    
    
• Months of inventory: 3.1 (down from 3.9)
  
  

What this means: The Amarillo MSA continues to show healthy buyer activity with manageable inventory levels. This balance supports both buyers and sellers who approach the market with realistic expectations and professional guidance.

Dumas: Inventory Growth Meets Strong Pricing

Dumas closed the year with a median price of $260,000, up 14% year-over-year.

• Active listings: Up 40.9% (31 homes)
  
  
• Closed sales: Up 8.3% (13 transactions)
  
  
• Days on market:
  
  
  • 52 days active
    
    
  • 40 days to close
    
    
  • 92 days total, nine days longer than last year
    
    
• Months of inventory: 2.6 (up from 1.7)
  
  

What this means: Increased inventory provides buyers with more choice, while continued price growth supports long-term property values. Sellers should focus on presentation and pricing to stand out in a more competitive environment.

Key Takeaways for Buyers and Sellers

Across the Texas Panhandle, December 2025 data points to a market that rewards preparation:

• Buyers benefit from understanding local inventory levels and timelines.
  
  
• Sellers benefit from accurate pricing and strategic marketing.
  
  
• Longer days on market do not necessarily indicate weak demand—but rather a more normalized pace compared to prior years.
  
  

Real estate remains highly local, and conditions can vary significantly from one community to another.
