Latest Update: January 2026 • Data via NTREIS
PRICES
Richardson’s median home price ended 2025 at $458,100, essentially flat year over year (down 0.4%). That kind of stability, especially in a higher-rate environment, suggests pricing is being supported by consistent demand and limited oversupply. The tradeoff is that buyers are more value-driven than in recent peak years, so homes that feel overpriced relative to condition or updates are easier to pass on.
SALES ACTIVITY
Closed sales totaled 998, down 1.4% compared to 2024. This is a relatively small decline and points to a market that is still active, but more deliberate. Buyers are taking more time, comparing options, and negotiating harder on homes that need work or miss the mark on pricing.
INVENTORY
Active listings rose to 268, a 34.7% year-over-year increase. More inventory changes the day-to-day experience: buyers have choices, and sellers have to compete more directly on presentation, condition, and pricing strategy. In practical terms, the best-positioned homes still move, but the “average” listing is more likely to need adjustments.
MARKET BALANCE
Months of inventory increased to 2.5, up 0.3 from the prior year, keeping Richardson below what most would consider a fully balanced market. That means sellers still have an edge, but not the kind that supports overpricing. Negotiation is more common than it was during the tightest years, and outcomes are increasingly tied to how well a home is prepared and priced from day one.
Looking ahead to 2026, Richardson is likely to remain relatively stable, with pricing supported by continued demand and inventory that is higher than recent years but not excessive. If active listings continue to run elevated, buyers should retain more negotiation leverage than they had during the tightest cycles, particularly on homes that are dated or priced ahead of recent comparable sales. Sellers can still do well, but success will depend more on correct pricing, strong presentation, and thoughtful timing than on scarcity. Interest rates remain the biggest swing factor—if rates stay high, buyers will remain selective and concession-focused; if rates ease, the spring and early summer season could tighten competition quickly in the most desirable areas. Overall, 2026 should reward realistic expectations and strong fundamentals, with the best outcomes concentrated in well-maintained homes that offer clear value.
