Reporting Period: Jan 1–Jan 31, 2026 • Data via NTREIS
PRICES
Sachse posted a median sold price of $483,500 in January, up 15.4% compared to January 2025. In smaller monthly samples, price can move based on the mix of homes that actually close, but the takeaway is that buyers are still supporting higher price points when the home feels well-positioned. Updated condition and a clear value story matter more than ever when buyers have options.
SALES ACTIVITY
Closed sales came in at 9, down 43.8% year over year. This suggests fewer transactions made it across the finish line this month, which can happen when buyers are more selective and timelines stretch. Homes that are priced realistically and show well are still the ones most likely to convert.
INVENTORY
Active listings ended January at 76, up 11.8% from last year—giving buyers more selection to compare. The most active price band among available homes is $500,000–$749,999, representing about 34.2% of active inventory. With more choices on the shelf, sellers are competing more directly on pricing, presentation, and condition.
MARKET BALANCE
Months of inventory rose to 8.4, up from 2.5 last January, signaling a clear shift toward a more buyer-leaning market. Market pace supports that: the median closed home spent about 62 days on market plus roughly 32 days from contract to close, for a total of about 94 days from list to close. The market is still moving, but it’s rewarding listings that are priced right from the start.
Sachse is entering 2026 with more inventory and a noticeably slower pace than this time last year, which should keep buyers selective and negotiation active. If mortgage rates soften later in the year, competition could return quickly for the best homes—especially those that are updated and priced realistically—while dated homes may continue to require concessions. For sellers, 2026 is likely to reward preparation and pricing discipline more than optimism; the market is less forgiving when buyers have choices. For buyers, the current inventory level offers time to compare, but the best values can still get snapped up when they hit the market well-positioned. Overall, expect a market where strategy matters more than urgency.

Suburban Living with Small-Town Charm Near the Heart of DFW
Tucked along the edge of Collin and Dallas counties, Sachse offers a rare combination of quiet, small-town living with seamless access to the urban core of DFW. With the President George Bush Turnpike (PGBT) and Highway 78 just minutes away, residents can easily commute to Dallas, Plano, Richardson, and Garland, all while enjoying the slower pace and elbow room that defines life in Sachse.
While the city continues to grow, it has maintained its hometown character—complete with friendly neighbors, community events, and tree-lined streets that make it feel more like a neighborhood than a suburb. Proximity to Firewheel Town Center, Lake Ray Hubbard, and major employment corridors makes Sachse an ideal choice for families, professionals, and retirees looking for a smart long-term investment in a livable, welcoming community.
Sachse’s real estate market is known for its variety, value, and neighborhood appeal. Whether you're buying your first home or upsizing into a more private setting, you’ll find a wide range of options here—often at a better price point than neighboring suburbs like Murphy or Plano.
Common home types include:
Well-maintained, established homes on large lots with mature trees and no HOA restrictions
Custom homes on oversized lots, offering room for gardens, workshops, or multigenerational living
Newer builds in master-planned communities like Woodbridge, with access to pools, golf, trails, and neighborhood schools
Upscale homes with modern finishes, open layouts, and luxury touches designed for today’s move-up buyer
Neighborhoods in Sachse tend to feature wide streets, community greenbelts, and access to city parks, contributing to the city's well-known curb appeal and livability. Whether you’re after a quiet cul-de-sac or a vibrant family-friendly subdivision, Sachse offers something to match your lifestyle.
Sachse remains a favorite among buyers who want space, schools, and a solid sense of community. It’s part of Wylie ISD, one of the most respected school districts in North Texas, and offers low crime, quiet streets, and ongoing development without over-commercialization.
Here’s why Sachse continues to grow in popularity:
A tight-knit atmosphere where neighbors know each other and community pride runs deep
Top-tier schools, both academically and in extracurricular programs, through Wylie ISD
City parks, playgrounds, and family-friendly events throughout the year, including the Red, White & Blue Blast and fall festivals
Convenient location near shopping, dining, healthcare, and major employers
