PRICES
Median price was $395,000, down just 1.0% from July 2025 — close enough to flat to call it stable. Price per square foot fell a bit more, down 5.2% to $178.66, suggesting some shift in home size mix alongside the modest price softening.

2026 Wylie Housing Market Forecast
If sales activity stabilizes closer to last year's pace, expect Wylie's currently balanced conditions to hold through the rest of the year without a major shift toward either buyers or sellers. Pricing has proven resilient so far and should continue to hold relatively steady barring a broader change in demand. If mortgage rates ease, watch for the sales slowdown to reverse, which could tighten the market again. Sellers who price competitively should continue to see quick results given the brisk 40-day average time on market.
