Rockwall, TX Housing Market Update – January 2026

Reporting Period: Jan 1–Jan 31, 2026 • Data via NTREIS

Key Highlights

  • Median Sold Price: $552,000 (+18.7% YoY)
  • Closed Sales: 60 (+27.7% YoY)
  • Active Listings: 332 (+10.3% YoY)
  • Months of Inventory: 5.5 (+1.3 YoY)
  • Market Pace: ~70 days on market + ~28 days to close = ~98 total days
  • Most Active Price Band: $500,000–$749,999 (41.9% of active listings)

PRICES
Rockwall’s January median sold price came in at $552,000, up 18.7% compared to January 2025. This is a meaningful jump and suggests that the buyers who did transact were concentrated in higher price segments, not that every home is rising at the same pace. In a market with more inventory, pricing strength tends to hold best for homes that are updated, well-presented, and positioned in locations buyers consistently prioritize.

SALES ACTIVITY
Closed sales rose to 60, a 27.7% increase year over year. That points to improved buyer follow-through compared to last January’s slower pace. Even with higher monthly inventory, demand is still showing up—especially for listings that feel like “best value” in their category rather than aspirational pricing.

INVENTORY
Active listings increased to 332, up 10.3% from a year ago. The biggest concentration of available homes is in the $500K–$749K range (about 41.9% of active inventory), which tells us where most sellers are competing right now. With more options on the shelf, buyers are comparing condition, upgrades, and location more closely—and sellers have to earn attention.

MARKET BALANCE
Months of inventory moved to 5.5, up from 4.2 last January, signaling a shift toward a more balanced (and often more negotiation-friendly) environment. Market timing supports that: homes are taking longer end-to-end (about ~98 total days from list to close at the median). The market is still moving, but urgency is no longer automatic—strategy and presentation matter more than ever.

What Sellers Need to Know

  • Competition is concentrated in the $500K–$749K range—pricing and condition must be sharp to stand out.
  • Inventory is higher than last year, so “testing” the market is riskier than it was in peak scarcity years.
  • Expect negotiation on repairs, credits, or closing costs if the home isn’t move-in ready.
  • Homes that show well online and launch at market value are still the ones that create momentum.

What Buyers Need to Know

  • More inventory improves your ability to compare options and negotiate thoughtfully.
  • Pay attention to value indicators—updates, layout, location, and overall condition still matter more than “discount hunting.”
  • Well-priced homes can still move quickly, especially in high-demand pockets.
  • Use the current market pace to your advantage: strong due diligence + strong terms can win without overpaying.

2026 Rockwall Housing Market Forecast

Rockwall is starting 2026 with a more balanced feel: inventory is elevated compared to prior years, but sales activity is also stronger than last January. If inventory stays near current levels, buyers should continue to see negotiation opportunities—especially on homes that are overpriced or need updates. For sellers, success is still very achievable, but it will come from realistic pricing, strong prep, and a marketing plan that creates clarity and urgency early. Mortgage rates remain the biggest swing factor—if rates ease later in 2026, demand could strengthen quickly and tighten conditions in the most desirable segments. Overall, 2026 is shaping up to reward strategy, presentation, and timing more than “automatic” appreciation.
