Caddo Mills real estate market update

This is The Dunnican Team's monthly housing market update for Caddo Mills, Texas. Every figure comes straight from NTREIS MLS transaction data — what homes actually sold for, not estimates or automated valuations — and each one is measured against the same month a year earlier, because a number only means something when you can see what it used to be. Below you'll find the median sale price, closed sales, active inventory, months of supply, and days on market, along with what each of those actually means if you're weighing a move. 

We publish these every month so you can watch the trend rather than react to a single number. It's the same picture we walk our own clients through, explained the way we'd explain it across the table.

monthly market update

Six homes closed in Caddo Mills in September 2026, down from 14 a year earlier. Most of that drop came from new construction, where closings fell from six to two, which pushed months of inventory to 7.4 from 2.0. Resale homes also moved toward buyers, at 6.9 months, as resale listings rose 50% to 24.

Quick Read

Only six homes closed in Caddo Mills in September, and the biggest change from last year came from new construction. Four of those six were resale homes, down from eight a year ago, while new-construction closings fell from six to two. That slowdown in builder sales is the main reason months of inventory jumped to 7.4 from 2.0. On resale homes alone, months of inventory rose to 6.9 from 4.3, still buyer-leaning, driven mainly by a 50% rise in resale listings.

Key Highlights | Caddo Mills Housing Market Update

  • Median Price: $252,950 (−7.0% YoY, based on six sales)
  • Closed Sales: 6 (14 in September 2025); resale only: 4 (8 in September 2025)
  • Active Listings: 36 (+44.0% YoY); resale only: 24 (+50.0% YoY)
  • Months of Inventory: 7.4 (2.0 in September 2025); resale only: 6.9 (4.3 in September 2025)

Very limited transaction volume. Only six homes closed here in September. At that level a single sale can move the median by tens of thousands of dollars, and percentage changes describe which homes happened to sell rather than the direction of the market. The counts on this page matter more than the percentages.

Market Commentary

PRICES
The Caddo Mills median sale price was $252,950 in September 2026, down 7.0% from September 2025, while median price per square foot rose 5.0% to $144.67. On resale homes alone, the median was $256,200, up 12.6%, and price per square foot rose 19.1% to $164.21. With only four resale sales, those figures describe the specific homes that sold more than a trend. Resale homes closed at a median of 97.5% of original list price, compared with 93.2% for all homes, which suggests the larger discounts were on new construction. Four of the six sales overall fell between $200,000 and $299,999. For context, the DFW median was $379,990 and the Texas median was $329,900.

SALES ACTIVITY
A total of six homes closed in Caddo Mills in September, down from 14 in September 2025. Resale closings fell from eight to four, and new-construction closings fell from six to two. Resale homes took a median of 38 days to go under contract, 39 days faster than a year ago, and 41 days from contract to close, for 79 days in total. Across all homes, total time from listing to closing was 77 days, compared with 95 days across the DFW Metroplex.

INVENTORY
Active listings rose to 36 from 25 a year ago. Resale listings accounted for most of that increase, rising to 24 from 16, while new-construction listings rose to 12 from nine. Resale sellers face noticeably more competition than they did last fall.

MARKET BALANCE
Months of inventory reached 7.4 for all homes, up from 2.0 a year ago. Last year's low figure reflected a strong run of new-construction sales, and that pace has slowed sharply, which accounts for most of the change. The resale market moved toward buyers as well, from balanced at 4.3 months to buyer-leaning at 6.9, mainly because resale listings rose 50%. Both figures are above the DFW Metroplex at 4.5 months and Texas at 5.5 months.

What Sellers Need to Know

  • Resale listings rose to 24 from 16, so you're competing with more homes than last fall, plus 12 new-construction listings.
  • The four resale homes that sold went under contract in a median of 38 days and closed at 97.5% of original list price, so well-priced resale homes are still selling.
  • With builder sales down sharply, nearby new homes may come with incentives. Know what they're offering before you set your price.
  • With only four resale sales, base your price on specific comparable homes rather than the headline median.

What Buyers Need to Know

  • At 7.4 months of supply overall and 6.9 for resale homes, Caddo Mills leans clearly toward buyers.
  • With builder sales down, ask about incentives on new-construction inventory and compare them against resale homes on the full cost of ownership, including property taxes and HOA dues.
  • The resale homes that sold closed near list price, at a median of 97.5% of original list, so negotiating room depends heavily on the individual home.
  • Four of the six September sales fell between $200,000 and $299,999.

Caddo Mills Housing Market Outlook: Fall 2026

Caddo Mills heads into the fall with builder sales well below last year's pace and more resale homes on the market. If new-construction sales stay slow, builders with standing inventory may lean on incentives, which would put pressure on resale pricing for comparable homes. On the resale side, listings are up 50%, and if closings stay near September's level, months of supply will likely remain in buyer-leaning territory through the holidays. Mortgage rates moved higher through late September and early October, and if they stay elevated, expect negotiation to remain part of most sales. Because each month rests on a handful of transactions, the trend across several months will tell you more than any single report.

Caddo Mills Housing Market FAQs – September 2026

Is it a good time to sell a home in Caddo Mills?

You'll face more competition than a year ago. Resale listings rose to 24 from 16, and there are 12 new-construction listings as well. The four resale homes that sold in September 2026 went under contract in a median of 38 days at 97.5% of original list price, so well-priced homes are still moving.

Is it a good time to buy a home in Caddo Mills?

Buyers have more leverage than they did last fall. Months of inventory reached 7.4 overall and 6.9 for resale homes, both in buyer-leaning territory. With builder sales down, it's worth comparing new-construction incentives against resale options.

Why did months of inventory jump so much in Caddo Mills?

Mostly because new-construction sales slowed. Last September's 2.0 months reflected a strong run of builder sales, and new-construction closings fell from six to two this September. Resale inventory also rose, from 4.3 months to 6.9, because resale listings increased 50%.

Are home prices rising or falling in Caddo Mills?

It depends on which homes you look at, and the sample is very small. The overall median fell 7.0% to $252,950, while the resale median rose 12.6% to $256,200 on four sales. Price per square foot rose for both, so there's no sign of a broad drop in values.

How long are homes taking to sell in Caddo Mills?

Resale homes that closed in September 2026 took a median of 38 days to go under contract and 79 days in total from listing to closing. Across all homes, the total was 77 days, compared with 166 days a year ago.

Except WHERE It Is! 📍

That gorgeous kitchen, spacious floor plan, and beautiful backyard might check every box on your wish list. But what about the 45-minute commute, nearby road construction, or the extra drive every time you need groceries?

The right house in the wrong location can become a daily frustration.

And in North Texas, a few miles can make a BIG difference!

🚗 COMMUTE: Don't just check the mileage. Drive the route during actual rush hour.

🚧 ROAD CONSTRUCTION: Major projects along I-30 and around eastern Collin County could affect your daily drive.

🌊 LAKE LIFESTYLE: Living near Lake Ray Hubbard or Lake Lavon sounds wonderful, but how does that location fit the rest of your routine?

🛒 EVERYDAY CONVENIENCE: Grocery stores, medical care, shopping, and restaurants matter more than you might think.

💰 COST OF LIVING: Property taxes, insurance, and HOA fees can vary between neighborhoods and affect your monthly budget.

After more than 28 years helping North Texas buyers, I've learned something: The smartest home search starts with WHERE you want to live, not WHICH house you want to buy.

In our latest blog, “Why Location Matters More Than Ever in Dallas Home Choices,” we're breaking down how to compare neighborhoods, evaluate commute routes, and identify the areas that actually fit your lifestyle.

Start with the part of town, not the house. 🏡

That’s one of the biggest things buyers miss.

In Wylie, the city name alone doesn’t tell you everything you need to know. County, school district, commute, taxes, utilities, and even lake access can change from one address to the next.

Our latest blog walks through what relocating buyers should check before they start touring, including:

• how to compare Wylie neighborhoods
• why you should test your real commute during peak hours
• what “near the lake” actually means
• how school district and county lines can vary by address
• resale vs. new construction considerations
• what to verify before you make an offer

The house matters, but location decisions are much harder to change later.

If Wylie is on your relocation list, send us a message. We can help you narrow the right areas before you spend a weekend touring homes that don’t actually fit your day-to-day life.

Before you make an offer, there are a few things worth verifying that many buyers never think to ask about:

• Who actually owns the land behind the home?
• Is the view protected, or could it change?
• Are there cart-path, drainage, utility, or maintenance easements?
• Is golf club membership included, required, or completely separate from the HOA?
• How does the lot handle runoff and drainage after heavy rain?
• Does the rear fence actually follow the property line?

Our latest blog breaks down what buyers should review before purchasing a golf course home in Rockwall, Rowlett, Heath, or anywhere along the Lake Ray Hubbard corridor.

Because with a golf course property, you’re not just buying the house — you’re buying the lot, the view, the documents, and everything that comes with them.

The market is still giving sellers some real advantages. 🏡

In our latest blog post, we break down why both cities are holding up better than much of the broader DFW market — including:

• tight inventory
• lower year-over-year competition
• stronger buyer absorption
• how Rowlett and Garland differ
• why price, condition, and location still matter even in a seller-favorable market

The biggest takeaway: low inventory helps, but strategy still matters. A strong market won’t fix an overpriced listing, and citywide numbers don’t tell you what your specific home will do.

There's More to the Story! 👀

If you've been shopping for a new construction home around DFW lately, you've probably noticed builders offering some pretty attractive incentives.

💰 Lower mortgage rates
🏷️ Price reductions
🔑 Closing cost assistance
✨ Free upgrades

Sounds like a great deal, right?

Maybe. But the biggest incentive isn't always the BEST incentive!

Here's something worth knowing: According to a national builder survey reported in October 2026, 65% of builders are offering sales incentives, and 43% have reduced prices.

Builders are competing for buyers, and that can create some real opportunities!

But before you sign anything, there are a few questions you need answered:

✅ Is that low interest rate temporary or permanent?

✅ Do you have to use the builder's preferred lender?

✅ Would a price reduction save you more money in the long run?

✅ What happens to your incentives if construction delays your closing?

✅ Are those "free" upgrades things you actually want?

Here's my advice after 28+ years in real estate: Don't just look at what the builder is offering. Look at what it's actually worth to YOU.

A lower payment today doesn't always mean a better financial decision tomorrow.

In my latest blog, “DFW's New Construction Market: Builder Incentives Explained,” I'm breaking down the different incentives, the fine print buyers need to understand, and how to compare offers before committing.

📖 Read the full article at the link in our bio.

Link in bio. 💬 YOUR TURN: Would you choose a bigger, newer home with a longer commute—or a smaller home in a more convenient location? 👇 📲 Thinking about buying in Rockwall, Rowlett, Wylie, Lavon, or the surrounding Northeast Dallas suburbs?

cindydunnican Thinking about relocating to Wylie? Start with the part of town, not the house. 🏡 That’s one of the biggest things buyers miss. In Wylie, the city name alone doesn’t tell you everything you need to know. County, school district, commute, taxes, utilities, and even lake access can change from one address to the next. Our latest blog walks through what relocating buyers should check before they start touring, including: • how to compare Wylie neighborhoods • why you should test your real commute during peak hours • what “near the lake” actually means • how school district and county lines can vary by address • resale vs. new construction considerations • what to verify before you make an offer The house matters, but location decisions are much harder to change later. Read the full guide at the link in our bio. If Wylie is on your relocation list, send us a message. We can help you narrow the right areas before you spend a weekend touring homes that don’t actually fit your day-to-day life. #WylieTX #MovingToWylie #WylieRealEstate #WylieNeighborhoods #DFWRelocation #NortheastDallas #LakeLavon #LakeRayHubbard #TexasRealEstate #TheDunnicanTeam

cindydunnican Buying a home on a golf course can be beautiful — but the view is only part of the story. ⛳🏡 Before you make an offer, there are a few things worth verifying that many buyers never think to ask about: • Who actually owns the land behind the home? • Is the view protected, or could it change? • Are there cart-path, drainage, utility, or maintenance easements? • Is golf club membership included, required, or completely separate from the HOA? • How does the lot handle runoff and drainage after heavy rain? • Does the rear fence actually follow the property line? Our latest blog breaks down what buyers should review before purchasing a golf course home in Rockwall, Rowlett, Heath, or anywhere along the Lake Ray Hubbard corridor. Because with a golf course property, you’re not just buying the house — you’re buying the lot, the view, the documents, and everything that comes with them.

cindydunnican Thinking about selling in Rowlett or Garland? The market is still giving sellers some real advantages. 🏡 In our latest blog post, we break down why both cities are holding up better than much of the broader DFW market — including: • tight inventory • lower year-over-year competition • stronger buyer absorption • how Rowlett and Garland differ • why price, condition, and location still matter even in a seller-favorable market The biggest takeaway: low inventory helps, but strategy still matters. A strong market won’t fix an overpriced listing, and citywide numbers don’t tell you what your specific home will do. Read the full post at the link in our bio. If you’re thinking about listing in Rowlett or Garland, send us a message and we’ll help you look at your actual price range, competition, and timing. #RowlettTX #GarlandTX #RowlettRealEstate #GarlandRealEstate #DFWRealEstate

cindydunnican 🏡 That Low Mortgage Rate the Builder Is Advertising? There's More to the Story! 👀 If you've been shopping for a new construction home around DFW lately, you've probably noticed builders offering some pretty attractive incentives. 💰 Lower mortgage rates 🏷️ Price reductions 🔑 Closing cost assistance ✨ Free upgrades Sounds like a great deal, right? Maybe. But the biggest incentive isn't always the BEST incentive! Here's something worth knowing: According to a national builder survey reported in October 2026, 65% of builders are offering sales incentives, and 43% have reduced prices. Builders are competing for buyers, and that can create some real opportunities! But before you sign anything, there are a few questions you need answered: ✅ Is that low interest rate temporary or permanent? ✅ Do you have to use the builder's preferred lender? ✅ Would a price reduction save you more money in the long run? ✅ What happens to your incentives if construction delays your closing? ✅ Are those "free" upgrades things you actually want? Here's my advice after 28+ years in real estate: Don't just look at what the builder is offering. Look at what it's actually worth to YOU. A lower payment today doesn't always mean a better financial decision tomorrow. In my latest blog, “DFW's New Construction Market: Builder Incentives Explained,” I'm breaking down the different incentives, the fine print buyers need to understand, and how to compare offers before committing. 📖 Read the full article at the link in our bio. 📍 Buying new construction in Rockwall, Fate, Royse City, Forney, Wylie, or Lavon? Let's compare the numbers before you visit the builder! 💬 YOUR TURN: Would you rather have a lower mortgage rate, money toward closing costs, or a straight price reduction? 👇 #DFWRealEstate #NewConstructionHomes #BuilderIncentives #RockwallRealEstate #TheDunnicanTeam
