Trend Insights
Pricing Is Critical
We’ve now seen back-to-back weeks with 6,000+ price reductions—showing just how competitive the DFW market has become. Buyers are clearly scrutinizing value more than ever. Sellers who overprice are either cutting quickly or exiting the market.
Demand Holds Steady
With nearly 2,800 new pending contracts and over 3,200 closings, buyer demand is stable. DFW’s job market and migration trends continue to support a healthy level of activity, especially in family-friendly suburbs and strong school zones.
Inventory Keeps Expanding
4,156 new listings is a seasonal high, and continued listing growth gives buyers more options. While this doesn’t make it a “buyer’s market” yet, it’s a more balanced landscape than we’ve seen in recent years.
Expired and Canceled Listings Spike
A combined 2,671 listings failed to sell or were withdrawn—highlighting a clear divide between well-positioned homes and those missing the mark on pricing, condition, or marketing.
Bottom Line:
The DFW housing market is robust—but it’s not forgiving. Those who price, prep, and market well are winning. Others are stalling out.
