College Station, Market Update – What Do You Think About Investing Near Universities?

[Bryant Xavier]

I’ve been digging into the Bryan/College Station market (home to Texas A&M) and wanted to share some fresh numbers from August 2025:

• Median price: $356,750 (up 2.2% YoY)

• Active listings: 465 (up 12.6% YoY)

• Closed sales: 135 (down 0.7% YoY)

• Days on market: About 93 total (list to close)

• Months of inventory: 3.9 (slightly up from 3.6 last year)

Most of the activity is happening in the $200K–$399K range (55%+ of sales), and only about 1.5% of sales were $1M+. So while the luxury market exists, the bread and butter here is still affordable housing that appeals to students, staff, and young families tied to the university.

To me, this highlights how steady and resilient a college-town market can be — even with more inventory, prices are still pushing upward.

Here’s my question for the community:

For those of you who’ve invested near universities before — how does College Station compare to other college towns you’ve looked at?
