ctober 19, 2025 – Texas real‑estate prices and agent fees are both climbing. A recent survey by Clever Offers, the cash‑offer platform, found that commission costs were the top complaint among recent sellers nationwide, with a Texas‑specific follow‑up confirming the trend.

    In 2024, Texas agents earned an average of 5.57 % of a home’s sale price, up from 5.5 % in 2021. Nationally, the average fell from 5.45 % to 5.32 % over the same period, while the state’s latest figure reached 5.85 %. September’s split was 2.88 % for listing agents and 2.97 % for buyer agents.

    Homeowners can curb expenses by negotiating rates or choosing discount brokerages, but must agree on fees before signing a listing agreement to avoid surprises.

    Early October data shows 151,914 homes on the market statewide—about a 7‑month supply. Median days on market were 77, with a median listing price of $369,000 and an average sale price of $360,700. In Dallas, inventory was 42,784 homes (6.57‑month supply), median days 76, median listing $419,450, and average sale $432,600.
