Texas buyers are adjusting. Permian buyers plan with a REALTOR... A new Texas REALTORS® survey shows 2025 hasn’t been one-size-fits-all: Half of REALTORS® worked with clients who raised their price range— while 31% had clients who lowered it. Most buyers felt they had time and options, yet multiple offers still pop up. What’s that mean in the #PermianBasin? Micro-markets rule. Neighborhoods, school zones, taxes, wind/hail insurance, and commute patterns can swing your “true payment” more than headlines do. If you’re thinking about buying here’s how to win locally: Know your payment, not just your price. Shop neighborhoods, not just houses. Have two offers ready. Right timing = your timing. Not when the internet says go—when your budget, job, and life say yes. Permian Basin Board of REALTORS: One Board. One Future. Fueled Together. #PermianProud #FuelingThePermian #FuelingPermianDreams #OwnThePermianDream #HomeStartsHerePermian #WestTexasBusiness
