Market Commentary

PRICES
The Sachse median sale price was $427,000 in September 2026, essentially unchanged from September 2025. Median price per square foot fell 6.2% to $192.33, which means the homes that sold were somewhat larger and value per square foot softened. The $400,000–$499,999 range accounted for half of all sales, followed by $300,000–$399,999 at 27.8%. Homes closed at a median of 94.4% of original list price, slightly above the DFW Metroplex at 93.8%. For context, the DFW median was $379,990 and the Texas median was $329,900.

SALES ACTIVITY
A total of 18 homes closed in Sachse in September, down 28.0% from 25 in September 2025, a softer transaction pace. The median home took 60 days to go under contract, three days longer than a year ago, and 31 days from contract to close. Total time from listing to closing was 91 days, compared with 95 days across the DFW Metroplex.

INVENTORY
Active listings totaled 102, down 6.4% from 109 a year ago, which keeps supply roughly steady. With closings down more sharply than listings, the slowdown is on the buyer side.

MARKET BALANCE
Months of inventory stood at 4.7, compared with 4.8 a year ago, which keeps Sachse in balanced territory. That's close to the DFW Metroplex at 4.5 months and below Texas at 5.5 months. Neither buyers nor sellers hold a clear edge, though fewer sales and softer price per square foot give buyers a bit more room than the balance figure alone suggests.

What Sellers Need to Know

  • Supply is balanced at 4.7 months, about the same as last year.
  • Price per square foot fell 6.2%, so price to current comparable sales rather than last year's numbers.
  • Fewer buyers closed this month, with sales down 28.0%, so presentation and pricing matter.
  • Homes closed at a median of 94.4% of original list price, so well-priced homes are still drawing solid offers.

What Buyers Need to Know

  • At 4.7 months of supply, Sachse is balanced, with 102 active listings.
  • Price per square foot is down 6.2% from a year ago.
  • Half of September's sales fell between $400,000 and $499,999.
  • Homes closed at a median of 94.4% of original list price, so negotiating room varies by home.

Sachse Housing Market Outlook: Fall 2026

Sachse heads into the fall with balanced supply, slower sales, and softer prices per square foot than a year ago. If listings stay near 102 while closings remain below last year's pace, months of supply could edge higher through the holidays. Mortgage rates moved higher through late September and early October, and if they stay elevated, the slower pace of sales is likely to continue. If rates ease, steady supply and a solid list-price ratio suggest well-priced homes would attract buyers quickly. With 18 sales in a month, the trend across several months will tell you more than any single report.
