Dallas, TX Housing Market Update – Year-End 2025

Latest Update: January 2026 • Data via NTREIS

Key Highlights

  • Median Price: $440,000 (+2.9% YoY)
  • Closed Sales: 9,825 (−4.8% YoY)
  • Active Listings: 4,023 (+26.7% YoY)
  • Months of Inventory: 3.9 (+0.6 YoY)

PRICES
Dallas ended 2025 with a median price of $440,000, up 2.9% year over year. Even with higher rates, pricing held up in many parts of the city, which points to continued demand for well-located homes and neighborhoods with strong long-term appeal. The key shift is that price strength is more selective—condition, location, and livability matter more than they did in the fast-cycle years.

SALES ACTIVITY
Closed sales declined to 9,825, down 4.8% from 2024. That drop reflects slower transaction volume rather than a market standstill, and it aligns with what you’d expect in a higher-rate environment: buyers are still active, but they’re taking more time, negotiating more, and focusing on value. Homes that are priced correctly and show well are still selling, while others may sit longer.

INVENTORY
Active listings increased to 4,023, up 26.7% year over year, giving buyers noticeably more options than they had in prior years. More inventory reduces urgency and puts more pressure on sellers to compete on price and presentation, especially in segments where there are many similar homes available. This is one of the biggest drivers behind the more negotiation-friendly tone buyers experienced in late 2025.

MARKET BALANCE
Months of inventory rose to 3.9, up 0.6 from the prior year, moving Dallas closer to a balanced market. This level isn’t “high inventory,” but it is enough to shift leverage and slow the pace compared to the peak seller-driven cycle. The market is still active, but outcomes are increasingly tied to strategy—pricing, condition, and marketing quality have a larger impact on results.

What Sellers Need to Know

  • With inventory up, pricing to recent comparable sales is essential—buyers have alternatives.
  • Homes that show well and feel move-in ready are still moving faster than the market average.
  • Expect more negotiation on repairs and concessions, especially for dated or over-improved listings.
  • Strong marketing and early price discipline help prevent extended market time.

What Buyers Need to Know

  • More inventory gives you room to compare, negotiate, and prioritize the right fit.
  • Opportunities improve on listings with longer days on market or pricing that missed the mark.
  • Well-priced homes in prime locations can still sell quickly, so preparation matters.
  • Focus on value drivers—location, condition, and long-term usability—not just list price.

2026 Dallas Housing Market Forecast

Looking ahead to 2026, Dallas is likely to continue operating in a more balanced environment, with inventory levels remaining the primary driver of buyer leverage and negotiation. If active listings stay elevated, buyers should keep more control over terms, particularly in segments where there are many comparable homes competing for attention. Pricing is expected to remain steady to modestly positive overall, but appreciation will likely be uneven—stronger in neighborhoods with consistent demand and limited supply, softer where buyers have multiple alternatives. Mortgage rates will remain the biggest swing factor: if rates stay high, buyers will remain selective and concession-focused; if rates ease, demand could accelerate quickly during the spring and early summer season, tightening competition in the most desirable areas. The market is still moving, but 2026 should continue to reward correct pricing, strong preparation, and realistic expectations more than urgency alone.

Why Buyers and Investors Choose Dallas

Dallas continues to rank among the nation’s top cities for both relocation and real estate investment. Thanks to its low taxes, business-friendly climate, and strong appreciation trends, the city has become a magnet for employers, entrepreneurs, and remote professionals alike.

What makes Dallas a standout:

  • No state income tax and relatively low property taxes compared to other major metros

  • A diverse economy, with strength in tech, finance, logistics, education, and healthcare
