Quick Read

McLendon-Chisholm's September numbers are shaped almost entirely by new construction. Four of the six homes that closed were new, the median home sold was less than a year old, and builder listings rose to 31 from 12 a year ago. Total listings reached 64, pushing months of inventory to 11.1 from 5.5. The resale market is very small, with two sales and 33 listings, at 10.4 months of supply.

Very limited transaction volume. Only six homes closed here in September, two of them resale. At that level a single sale can move the median by hundreds 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 McLendon-Chisholm median sale price was $996,338 in September 2026. The published 61.7% increase from September 2025 rests on six sales this year and seven last year, and it mostly reflects which homes sold. The median home that sold was 4,210 square feet and less than a year old, and three of the six sales were at $1 million and above. Price per square foot rose 15.4% to $241.12, but at this volume that also reflects the mix. Both resale sales closed above $1 million. Homes closed at a median of 94.2% of original list price, compared with 93.8% across the DFW Metroplex. For context, the DFW median was $379,990.

SALES ACTIVITY
A total of six homes closed in McLendon-Chisholm in September, down from seven in September 2025. Four were new construction, up from two, and two were resale homes, down from five. The median home took 47 days to go under contract, 44 days faster than a year ago, and 51 days from contract to close, 21 days longer, a pattern that can reflect buyers contracting on homes still under construction. Total time from listing to closing was 98 days, compared with 95 days across the DFW Metroplex.

INVENTORY
Active listings rose to 64 from 38 a year ago. Most of that increase came from builders, whose listings rose to 31 from 12. Resale listings rose to 33 from 26. Buyers have far more to choose from than they did last fall, at both the new and resale ends of the market.

MARKET BALANCE
Months of inventory reached 11.1 overall, up from 5.5 a year ago, and 10.4 for resale homes, up from 8.4. Both are far above the 5.0-month level that typically favors buyers, and well above the DFW Metroplex at 4.5 months and Texas at 5.5 months. Even allowing for the small number of sales, the rapid growth in listings points clearly toward buyers.

What Sellers Need to Know

Builder listings nearly tripled to 31, so resale homes compete directly with new construction.
Resale supply is at 10.4 months, so plan for a longer market time and price carefully from the start.
Homes closed at a median of 94.2% of original list price, so well-priced homes are still drawing solid offers.
With only six sales, the median says little about your home. Base your price on specific comparable sales.

What Buyers Need to Know

At 11.1 months of supply, McLendon-Chisholm leans strongly toward buyers.
With 31 new-construction listings, ask builders about incentives and compare them against resale homes on the full cost of ownership, including property taxes, HOA dues, and any MUD or PID assessments where they apply.
Half of September's sales were at $1 million and above.
Listings are up sharply from last fall, which gives you more choice and more time.

McLendon-Chisholm Housing Market Outlook: Fall 2026

McLendon-Chisholm heads into the fall with a large increase in builder inventory and a small number of sales. If listings stay near 64 while closings hold around September's level, months of supply will likely remain far into buyer-leaning territory through the holidays, and builder pricing and incentives will likely shape the market. Mortgage rates moved higher through late September and early October, and at these price points higher rates add meaningfully to monthly payments, so if they stay elevated, expect negotiation to remain significant. If rates ease, the depth of inventory means buyers would still have plenty of choice. With only a handful of sales each month, the trend across several months will tell you more than any single report.
