DFW Real Estate Update: Here’s What Happened This Week (July 7 - July 13, 2025)

DFW Real Estate Market – Week of July 7–13

Market Snapshot

Weekly Activity Breakdown

New Listings & Inventory Flow

With 4,190 new properties entering the market and 714 returning to activity after previously falling through, inventory flow remains healthy. Buyers have more options, while sellers face stiffer competition.

Price Adjustments

A total of 6,985 listings had price cuts, dwarfing the 314 with price increases. This reflects a market in recalibration—sellers are responding to buyer resistance or appraisal adjustments, while limited price increases suggest localized pockets of strong demand, perhaps in sought-after neighborhoods.

Active Contract Trends

• Pending contracts: 2,355

• K/O (kick-out) scenarios: 95

• Option contracts: 1,617

• Contingent contracts: 365

Momentum is solid, with nearly 4,430 properties under some form of agreement. Option and contingent contracts indicate buyers are still moving cautiously—typical in the mid-summer market.

Closed Sales

There were 2,337 closings, on par with the pace of pending activity. This signals a stable conversion—no sharp drop-off between agreement and close.

Listings Off-Market

• Expired: 348

• Canceled: 1,031

• Withdrawn: 60

Over 1,400 properties came off the market without closing. Many sellers may be reassessing pricing or postponing listing plans due to market feedback.

Coming Soon & On Hold

• Hold: 323

• Coming Soon: 292

Nearly 600 listings are either in pre-market stage or paused—indicative of sellers preparing strategies or timing their market entry more carefully.

What It Means for Buyers and Sellers

For Buyers

• Increased leverage: With plenty of inventory and frequent price cuts, buyers can negotiate. Look for properties on the market for 30+ days—these often offer the best room to negotiate.

• Be inspection-ready: Option and contingent contracts show that buyers want protections. Prepare your documentation and demonstrate readiness to close quickly without excessive contingencies.

• Know your hot zones: Even in a balanced market, micro-markets can still command higher prices. Identify and focus on sought-after neighborhoods early.

For Sellers

• List intelligently: Begin with price realism—evidence suggests overpricing leads to cancelations or withdrawals. Proper prep (staging, repairs, quality photography) can help secure better offers upfront.

• Expect negotiation: With 1 in 4 listings taken down without selling this week, don’t be surprised if offers come with contingencies. Work with your agent to position a clean, competitive offer.

• Strategically time your listing: With nearly 600 listings either on hold or scheduled as coming soon, launching at the right moment—especially early in the week—can make a difference.

  Strategic Takeaways

  • Prices still matter: With 6,985 price reductions, the era of aggressive pricing needs recalibration.

  • Buyer caution = opportunity: More buyers are using contingencies, so sellers who present a smoother path to closing can stand out.

  • Proximity sells: Focus on properties near blue-ribbon schools or quality amenities—some areas still justify price increases.

  • Keep activity rolling: Sellers should treat cancellations or expirations as feedback, not failure. Adjust based on data, then relist or pivot strategy.
