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.

Market Commentary

PRICES
The Sunnyvale median sale price was $790,000 in September 2026, and median price per square foot was $194.90. The published increases from September 2025, 47.7% for the median and 10.4% for price per square foot, rest on seven sales this year and eight last year, and they mostly reflect which homes sold. The median home that sold this month was 3,934 square feet. Four of the seven sales fell between $750,000 and $999,999, two between $500,000 and $749,999, and one between $400,000 and $499,999. Homes closed at a median of 91.4% of original list price, below the DFW Metroplex at 93.8%. For context, the DFW median was $379,990.

SALES ACTIVITY
A total of seven homes closed in Sunnyvale in September, down from eight in September 2025. The median home took 61 days to go under contract, five days longer than a year ago, and 31 days from contract to close. Total time from listing to closing was 92 days, compared with 95 days across the DFW Metroplex.

INVENTORY
Active listings totaled 33, down 13.2% from 38 a year ago. Buyers have somewhat less to choose from than they did last fall.

MARKET BALANCE
Months of inventory stood at 4.8, compared with 4.7 a year ago, which keeps Sunnyvale in balanced territory, close to the DFW Metroplex at 4.5 months and below Texas at 5.5 months. The 91.4% list-price ratio suggests buyers had meaningful negotiating room on the homes that sold.

What Sellers Need to Know

Supply is balanced at 4.8 months, with 33 active listings, down from 38 a year ago.
Homes closed at a median of 91.4% of original list price, so pricing to current comparable sales from the first day matters.
Homes are taking a median of 61 days to go under contract, so plan for a realistic timeline.
With seven sales, the median says little about your home. Base your price on specific comparable sales.

What Buyers Need to Know

At 4.8 months of supply, Sunnyvale is balanced.
Homes closed at a median of 91.4% of original list price, which points to real negotiating room.
Four of the seven September sales fell between $750,000 and $999,999.
With so few sales, ask for comparable sales specific to the homes you're considering rather than relying on the median.

Sunnyvale Housing Market Outlook: Fall 2026

Sunnyvale heads into the fall with fewer listings than a year ago and balanced supply. If listings stay near 33 and closings continue at a handful per month, months of supply will likely stay close to balanced through the holidays. Mortgage rates moved higher through late September and early October, and at Sunnyvale's price points higher rates add meaningfully to monthly payments, so if they stay elevated, expect negotiation to remain significant. If rates ease, limited inventory means well-priced homes could draw buyers quickly. With only a handful of sales each month, the trend across several months will tell you more than any single report.
