Are Granbury home prices still falling, and what does that mean for buyers and sellers?
Snippet answer: Yes — Granbury home prices are still trending lower, with the August 2025 average sales price at $425,012 (down year-over-year). Homes are taking 80 days on market to sell, giving buyers more leverage and requiring sellers to be strategic.
The big picture: Granbury’s cooling housing market
Granbury, TX has been a hot market for years, but the tide has shifted. According to the latest MLS stats, the average sales price in August 2025 was $425,012, compared to $385,972 a year ago — up slightly year-over-year, but below recent highs reported earlier this summer. What’s more telling is that homes are sitting on the market much longer — 80 days on average, compared to 75 days in 2024 and just 50 in 2023.
Meanwhile, 158 homes closed in August 2025, reflecting stable demand but a market that’s clearly giving buyers more time and options.
According to Zillow’s September 2025 market update, Granbury home values overall are still down 11.9% year-over-year, and Redfin confirms more listings are cutting prices to attract buyers.
Why prices are softening in Granbury
Several forces are shaping today’s market:
Rising inventory: More homes are hitting the market, reducing competition and urgency.
Higher days on market: At 80 DOM, buyers can shop without rushing — a sharp contrast to the pandemic boom.
Mortgage rates: Local buyers are still facing rates near 7% (Realtor.com), which affects affordability and demand.
Seasonal shifts: Late summer and fall traditionally bring a slower sales pace.
What this means if you’re buying in Granbury
Buyers are in a stronger position than they’ve been in years. Here’s what you can expect:
Negotiation power: With homes sitting longer, sellers are more willing to negotiate on price, closing costs, or repairs.
More choices: New listings plus new construction projects like Pirate Village mean you’re not limited to a handful of options.
Timing advantage: Unlike 2021–22, you don’t need to rush to make an offer on day one.
➡️ Tip: Even though you have leverage, keep in mind that interest rates remain high. Working with a local lender can sometimes uncover rate-buydown options that offset costs.
What this means if you’re selling in Granbury
Sellers are facing a reality check. While Granbury remains a desirable market, success now requires strategy:
Pricing right matters: Overpricing leads to sitting on the market and inevitable price cuts.
Staging & presentation: Homes with professional photos and fresh staging stand out in a slower market.
Incentives may help: Offering closing cost assistance or rate buydowns can attract hesitant buyers.
Longer timelines: Expect your home to take 2–3 months to sell, not a weekend.
➡️ Tip: Price reductions are happening across Granbury — but a well-prepared home priced correctly still moves.

Key takeaway for buyers & sellers
