KAUFMAN COUNTY, TX — The Kaufman County housing market is showing signs of renewed activity and buyer interest as we head into the spring season, with fresh data from Rocket Homes revealing notable shifts in pricing, inventory, and selling speed.
📈 Steady Price Growth, But Not Across the Board
The median list price for a home in Kaufman County climbed to $334,500 in March 2025 — a modest 1.4% increase from the same time last year. That works out to $187 per square foot, signaling continued affordability.
But the story shifts when you look at prices by bedroom count.
Two-bedroom homes actually declined 7.7%, now listed around $179,900.
Larger homes saw steadier movement:
Three-bedroom homes up 4.1% to $314,900
Four-bedroom homes up 2.5% to $410,000
Five-bedroom and larger properties dipped 5.6% to $495,000
🏡 Inventory Expands, Offering More Choices for Buyers
After months of tight inventory, Kaufman County’s housing supply is beginning to loosen. There were 101 homes on the market in March — a 23.2% month-over-month increase from February’s 82 listings.
Breakdown by bedroom count shows inventory growth across nearly every category:
3-bedroom homes: 49 available (+22.5%)
4-bedroom homes: 33 available (+26.9%)
2-bedroom homes: 12 available (+33.3%)
5+ bedroom homes: 7 available (+16.7%)
The only exception? 1-bedroom homes, which dropped to zero listings — down from one in February.
This expanding inventory could create more room for negotiation, especially as buyers regain leverage in the mid-size home categories.
⏳ Homes Selling Faster Than Last Year
Perhaps the most striking shift is how quickly homes are now selling. In March 2025, homes in Kaufman County spent an average of just 88 days on the market, a dramatic 36.4% decrease from the 139-day average a year ago.
This acceleration suggests a more active, competitive market — especially for well-priced, move-in ready homes.
💬 What It Means for Buyers and Sellers
For sellers, now is a promising moment to list. With prices ticking up and homes spending less time on the market, well-presented listings stand to benefit from renewed buyer urgency.
For buyers, the rising inventory could be a welcome relief after months of limited selection. The price momentum and quick sales pace mean competition is still in play, particularly for three- and four-bedroom homes.
As Kaufman County continues to grow, the local housing market is evolving to match — offering both opportunities and challenges for those looking to make a move.
