The Market's Getting Cozy (Right Before the Turkey Hits the Table)

As DFW preps for turkey, pie, and parade reruns, the housing market is already starting to loosen its belt. While new listings took a slight dip this week, price cuts stayed strong—and serious buyers are still prowling for a pre-holiday win. Let's unwrap what happened before the big feast.

📈 Market Snapshot – DFW, Week of Nov 24

💡 Quick Take:

New listings dropped 6% week-over-week, continuing the holiday cooldown trend. Price decreases remained elevated—over 8,400 homes cut prices, signaling sellers are still adjusting to market expectations.

New listings fell to 6,231 from 6,715 last week—a clear sign of seasonal slowdown, amplified by the Thanksgiving holiday.

Closed sales hit 4,647, a solid week showing that deals are still getting done before the end-of-year lull. Price decreases came in at 8,410—nearly unchanged week-over-week, meaning sellers are still having to get realistic about pricing in today’s more measured market.
