As spring approaches, the number of new property listings continues to surpass those of 2024, according to the Weekly Activity Snapshot from the Houston Association of REALTORS® (HAR).

Agents added 3,983 properties to the MLS during the week ended March 3 compared to 3,219 during the same week last year, marking a 23.7% increase.

Closings, however, remained lower this year for the third consecutive week, declining 5.7% year over year. Consumer traffic at property showings also dragged behind 2024 levels, dipping 5.6%. HAR.com reported that listing viewings remained high, with just under 12 million viewings.
