There were 306 closed sales and 1,915 active listings, and homes averaged 66 days on the market. Inventory expanded to 7.7 months, creating a more balanced environment for buyers and sellers[3].

A monthly snapshot indicates that the median home price in Corpus Christi rose 3.2% from May to June 2025, hitting $278,700.

In recent housing market trends, the city has shown steady prices, with some sources reporting the median sale price at $270,000 in July 2025 and homes selling for about 3% below list price.
