DALLAS (KDAF) — A new study by Flipsnack reveals significant disparities in home sale speeds across the United States, with Rhode Island leading as the fastest market and Texas ranking 13th slowest.

The study, which analyzed data from Realtor.com covering July 2024 through June 2025, highlights that homes in Texas took a median of 59 days to sell, marking a slowdown from 49 days the previous year. This places Texas five days slower than the national median of 54 days.

The analysis shows that five of the seven fastest-moving real estate markets are located in the Northeast, with Rhode Island at the forefront.

Regionally, Texas lags behind neighboring states like Oklahoma and Arkansas, where homes sell in 57 and 59.5 days respectively, but it remains ahead of Louisiana and Mississippi, where sales take 76 and 68.5 days.

The findings from Flipsnack’s study underscore the varying dynamics of real estate markets across the country, with Texas experiencing a notable slowdown in home sales compared to its southern neighbors.
