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

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.

Market Commentary

PRICES
The Wylie median sale price was $390,000 in September 2026, unchanged from September 2025, and price per square foot edged up 0.7% to $182.49. Resale homes told the same story, with a median of $372,500, down 0.7%, and price per square foot up 1.4% to $180.82. Values are holding steady in both segments. The $300,000–$399,999 range was the most active, at 42.4% of all sales, followed by $400,000–$499,999 at 27.1%. Homes closed at a median of 93.1% of original list price overall and 94.1% for resale homes, compared with 93.8% across the DFW Metroplex. For context, the DFW median was $379,990 and the Texas median was $329,900.

SALES ACTIVITY
A total of 61 homes closed in Wylie in September, up 7.0% from 57 in September 2025. Resale closings rose 19.1%, to 50 from 42, while new-construction closings fell to 11 from 15. Resale homes sold quickly, going under contract in a median of 50 days, 20 days faster than a year ago, with 77 days from listing to closing. Across all homes, the median was 96 days to contract and 128 days in total, which suggests new homes are taking considerably longer to sell.

INVENTORY
Active listings totaled 220, down 9.5% from a year ago. Resale listings fell 5.3% to 178, and builder listings fell to 42 from 55. Supply is tighter on both sides than it was last fall.

MARKET BALANCE
Months of inventory fell to 4.1 from 4.6, both overall and for resale homes, keeping Wylie in balanced territory but close to the 4.0-month level that typically favors sellers. That's tighter than the DFW Metroplex at 4.5 months and Texas at 5.5 months. Faster resale sales and a 94.1% resale list-price ratio point to a market moving in sellers' favor.

What Sellers Need to Know

Resale supply tightened to 4.1 months, and resale homes went under contract in 50 days, 20 days faster than last year.
Resale closings rose 19.1%, and builder listings fell to 42 from 55, so you face less competition from new construction than last fall.
Resale homes closed at a median of 94.1% of original list price, above the DFW median of 93.8%.
Prices held steady, so price to current comparable sales rather than expecting gains.

What Buyers Need to Know

Selection is tighter than a year ago, with 220 active listings, 178 of them resale.
Well-priced resale homes are going under contract in about 50 days, so have your financing ready before you find the right one.
New homes are taking longer to sell, which can mean more room to negotiate with builders.
The $300,000–$399,999 range made up 42.4% of September's sales.

Wylie Housing Market Outlook: Fall 2026

Wylie heads into the fall with a resale market that is firmer than a year ago and builders that have pulled back. If resale sales hold near September's pace and listings stay below last year's level, months of supply could dip under 4.0 through the holidays. With new homes taking longer to sell, builder incentives may stay part of the picture even as resale conditions tighten. Mortgage rates moved higher through late September and early October, and if they stay elevated, that could slow the momentum seen in September, particularly in the $300,000–$399,999 range where most sales occur. Sellers who price to current comparable sales are best positioned.
