Northeast Dallas County Housing Market Update | Reporting Period: August 1 – October 31, 2026, compared with August 1 – October 31, 2025
Redfin reports Dallas closed sales fell 15.4% year over year. Northeast Dallas County is selling fewer homes too. That part of the headline is true.
Here’s what the headline misses. The homes that are selling are going under contract faster than they did a year ago. And depending on your ZIP code, the pace can be twice as fast as the one next door.
Key Highlights | Northeast Dallas County Housing Market Update
- 1,534 homes sold across the 19 ZIP codes, August through October 2026, down 12.8% from 1,759 a year earlier.
- Median days on market: 32, down from 35 a year ago.
- 30.8% of homes went under contract within two weeks, up from 28.2%.
- Median sale price: $379,450, down 2.2% from $388,000.
Where speed held up
ZIP 75238: 17 days. That’s the median time on market, August through October. A year ago it was 35. The pace there roughly doubled.
Nearly 4 in 10 homes in 75238 went under contract within two weeks of listing.
Right behind it: 75214 at 24 days, then 75218 and Mesquite’s 75150, both at 25. Mesquite is the surprise. Sales there went up 4.3%, and the median dropped by 12 days.
So what does this mean? Price it right in these ZIP codes, and buyers still show up fast.

Where things moved slower
Not everywhere, though.
Rowlett’s 75088: 51 days. That’s the slowest of the 19, and up from 41 last year. Sales there fell 23.6%.
In 75231, only 14% of homes found a buyer within two weeks. That’s the lowest share in the group.
And 75243 saw the sharpest drop in activity. Sales nearly halved, from 127 to 68.
One caution: Sunnyvale’s 75182 had just 21 sales in three months. A few closings can swing that number a lot, so read it loosely.

A note on prices
Prices barely moved. The median across all 19 ZIP codes was $379,450, down 2.2%.
Watch out for big jumps in a single ZIP, though. In 75214, the median price leapt from $863,300 to $1,100,000. Sounds huge. But price per square foot only went from $398 to $410.
Translation: more big homes sold this fall. Values didn’t jump 27%.
The bigger picture across the metro
Dallas new listings dropped 9% in October, among the steepest declines in the country, Redfin reports. The Dallas median sale price slipped 1.1%, to $398,599.
Our 19 ZIP codes? Sales down 12.8%, versus 15.4% for Dallas. Softer than the city, but not by much.
So what does that mean for you? A slower metro doesn’t mean a slow street. In 11 of these 19 ZIP codes, homes went under contract faster than last year.
If you’re selling
In the fast ZIP codes, your best buyers show up in the first two weeks. Get the price and presentation right on day one. Those first two weeks are hard to get back.
If you’re buying
Where homes sit 45 days or more, you likely have room to negotiate. In the fast ZIP codes, have your financing ready before you tour.
In short
- Fewer homes are selling.
- The ones that sell are moving a little faster.
- Your ZIP code matters more than the headline: 17 days in 75238, 51 in 75088.
Price and time your sale for your home, not for a metro average.
