Sunnyvale, Texas real estate market update

This is The Dunnican Team's monthly housing market update for Sunnyvale, 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.

INVENTORY
Active listings totaled 34 at the end of August 2026, compared with 51 in August 2025. Active listings fell to 34 from 51 while closings held at six, which improved months of supply to 5.7 from 8.5.

MARKET BALANCE
Months of inventory stood at 5.7, compared with 8.5 in August 2025. That compares with 4.4 months for the DFW Metroplex and 5.4 months statewide. With 34 listings and six monthly sales, the months-of-supply figure should be read as directional rather than precise.

Sunnyvale Housing Market Outlook: Fall 2026

Sunnyvale closed six homes in August, matching last year, with the median moving 2.9% on a sample too small to describe value trends reliably. Months of supply improved to 5.7 from 8.5 as active listings fell to 34 from 51, the most meaningful change in the market. Four of the six sales closed within 20 days of listing, indicating that correctly priced homes transact efficiently despite the low overall volume. Fourteen new listings came to market against six closings, so supply should rebuild through the fall. Sunnyvale's median sits well above the $389,000 DFW figure, so local demand is more exposed to financing costs. Buyers should expect limited selection and sellers should expect that the right buyer may take time to appear.
