Reporting Period: Jan 1–Jan 31, 2026 • Data via NTREIS
PRICES
Richardson’s median sold price in January reached $459,000, up 6.2% year over year :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}. Price growth indicates continued strength in desirable neighborhoods and established areas of the city. Even with more inventory available, well-located and updated homes are still commanding solid pricing.
SALES ACTIVITY
Closed sales totaled 57, down slightly (−1.7%) compared to January 2025 :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}. This modest dip reflects a market that is active but more measured. Buyers remain engaged, but decisions are deliberate and often contingent on strong perceived value.
INVENTORY
Active listings increased to 200, up 57.5% year over year :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}. That increase gives buyers more selection than they had last winter. The majority of homes are concentrated between the $300,000–$500,000 price range, which remains the most competitive segment in the city.
MARKET BALANCE
Months of inventory rose to 2.4, up 0.8 months from last January :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}. While inventory has expanded, Richardson still leans slightly toward a seller-advantaged market compared to many surrounding cities. Homes that are priced accurately and show well are continuing to move, though buyers have gained slightly more negotiating room than a year ago.
Richardson enters 2026 with continued pricing strength but noticeably higher inventory than a year ago. If mortgage rates ease, demand could strengthen quickly in the spring market, particularly for well-maintained homes in established neighborhoods. If rates remain steady or elevated, expect buyers to remain selective, with negotiation playing a greater role in transactions. Sellers who price strategically and present homes competitively should continue to see solid results. Buyers should find improved selection compared to early 2025, though premium locations are likely to remain competitive.
