In this episode of the Texas Land Guys podcast, Tim and Tom take you inside the Q3 2025 Texas land market. They break down the latest moves, from the Fed’s modest rate cut to the softer market conditions, and what it all means for developers, especially seasoned pros feeling the pinch in a tough job market.The guys dig into sector trends. Multifamily is hitting some bumps with softening rents and tight capital, but industrial is firing on all cylinders with high demand and rising prices. Single-family? Activity has slowed, but it’s still a major piece of the puzzle, especially with builders swapping lot positions to make deals happen.A hot topic is Texas’s SB 840 law. It sparked a “land rush” for multifamily sites in DFW suburbs, but not every project is a slam dunk, and Tim and Tom break down why. They also spotlight a growing trend: sellers getting realistic, offering discounts, and going for fast, all-cash deals to close quickly.The episode closes on a high note, celebrating a strong quarter with nearly half a billion in closings, while looking ahead to Q4. Expect continued industrial strength and maybe a market uptick early next year. Whether you’re a developer, investor, or just curious about Texas land, this episode is packed with insights you won’t want to miss.
