monthly market update

Farmersville closed 27 homes in August at an overall median of $320,000, down 8.3% from $349,000 a year ago. Active listings fell 7.8% to 166, and homes sold in a median of 53 days, three weeks slower than last August.

That 8.3% overstates what actually happened to values. Single-family homes made up 93% of August sales, down from 96% a year ago, as a mobile home and a manufactured home entered this year's mix — categories with zero closings a year earlier. Measured on single-family sales only, the median fell just 5.8%, and price per square foot was essentially flat, down 0.4%. Those are the numbers that describe what happened to values.

About this report. This is The Dunnican Team's monthly housing market update for Farmersville, 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.

PRICES
Farmersville's median sale price was $320,000 in August 2026, down 8.3% from $349,000 in August 2025. Homes sold at a median of 96.3% of original list price, compared with 98.9% a year ago. The most active price band was $200,000 to $299,999, accounting for 37.0% of closings. For context, the DFW Metroplex median was $389,000 and the Texas median was $330,000.

SALES ACTIVITY
A total of 27 homes closed in August 2026, up 8.0% from 25 in August 2025, so despite the softer median, buyer follow-through held up. Sellers brought 37 new listings to market, and 21 properties went under contract. Median days on market rose to 53 from 34 a year ago — homes are taking longer to find a buyer even though more of them are closing.

INVENTORY
Active listings totaled 166 at the end of August 2026, down 7.8% from 180 in August 2025 — inventory is roughly steady rather than expanding or contracting sharply. With 37 new listings against 27 closings, supply continued to build modestly during the month.

MARKET BALANCE
Months of inventory stood at 6.1, down from 7.2 a year ago but still well above the 4.0-to-5.0 balanced range. That compares with 4.4 months for the DFW Metroplex and 5.4 months statewide. Farmersville remains a buyer-favoring market, though the gap to balance is narrowing rather than widening.

What Sellers Need to Know

The median price fell 8.3% year over year — realistic pricing against current comps matters more than it did a year ago.
Homes are taking noticeably longer to sell (53 days vs. 34), so pricing to move is worth more than pricing to test.
With 166 active listings against 27 closings, competition for buyer attention is real.
Sale-to-list ratio slipped to 96.3%, meaning buyers are negotiating harder on asking price.

What Buyers Need to Know

At 6.1 months of supply, Farmersville currently offers more negotiating room than the DFW Metroplex average of 4.4 months.
The median price is down 8.3% year over year, among the larger affordability improvements in this batch of reports.
Homes sold at 96.3% of original list price, so there was room to negotiate on properties that had sat a while.
With 166 active listings, selection in the $200,000 to $299,999 range is the broadest locally.

Farmersville Housing Market Outlook: Fall 2026

Farmersville's inventory has eased from a year ago (166 active vs. 180), but at 6.1 months of supply it remains solidly in buyer-favoring territory. The combination of a softer median and longer days on market suggests sellers are still adjusting expectations rather than the market having already found its floor. If mortgage rates ease later in the year, the improved affordability here relative to the $389,000 DFW median could draw renewed demand and start working down the inventory overhang. Until then, buyers should expect to retain leverage, and sellers should lean on recent closed comps rather than list-price history when setting price.
