sachse, texas real estate market update

This is The Dunnican Team's monthly housing market update for Sachse, Texas. Every figure comes straight from NTREIS MLS transaction data — what homes actually sold for, not estimates or automated valuations — and each one is measured against the same month a year earlier, because a number only means something when you can see what it used to be. Below you'll find the median sale price, closed sales, active inventory, months of supply, and days on market, along with what each of those actually means if you're weighing a move.

We publish these every month so you can watch the trend rather than react to a single number. It's the same picture we walk our own clients through, explained the way we'd explain it across the table.

PRICES
Sachse's median sales price was $485,000 in August 2026, up 9.6% from $442,500 in August 2025. Homes sold at a median of 97.5% of original list price, compared with 97.1% a year ago. The most active price band was $350,000 to $399,999. Sachse is a smaller market, so month-to-month percentage changes can reflect which homes transacted rather than broad shifts in value. For context, the DFW Metroplex median was $389,000 and the Texas median was $330,000.

SALES ACTIVITY
A total of 21 homes closed in August 2026, compared with 19 in August 2025, a increase of 10.5%. Sellers brought 23 new listings to market, and 12 properties went under contract. Median days on market rose to 28 from 25 a year ago.

INVENTORY
Active listings totaled 97 at the end of August 2026, down 7.6% from 105 in August 2025. With 23 new listings against 21 closings, supply continued to build during the month.

MARKET BALANCE
Months of inventory stood at 4.6, compared with 5.5 in August 2025. That compares with 4.4 months for the DFW Metroplex and 5.4 months statewide. Inventory tightened while sales rose, which reflects genuine absorption rather than a pullback in listings.

Sachse Housing Market Outlook: Fall 2026

Sachse improved to 4.6 months of inventory from 5.5, with closings up modestly and active listings down 7.6%. The 97.5% sale-to-original-list ratio and 28-day median time on market both indicate an efficient market where correctly priced homes transact without extended negotiation. Because Sachse closes roughly twenty homes a month, individual sales influence the median more than in larger markets, and readers should weigh the direction of the trend over any single percentage. New listings at 23 roughly matched closings, so inventory should hold near current levels through the fall. The city's position between Garland, Wylie, and Murphy keeps it exposed to pricing shifts in all three. A decline in mortgage rates would likely tighten conditions further given the limited supply.
