Inside DFW Real Estate

wylie, texas real estate market update

This is The Dunnican Team's monthly housing market update for Wylie, 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
Wylie's median sales price was $416,300 in August 2026, down 7.3% from $449,000 in August 2025. Homes sold at a median of 96.6% of original list price, compared with 96.2% a year ago. The most active price band was $300,000 to $349,999. For context, the DFW Metroplex median was $389,000 and the Texas median was $330,000.

SALES ACTIVITY
A total of 66 homes closed in August 2026, compared with 80 in August 2025, a decline of 17.5%. Sellers brought 107 new listings to market, and 60 properties went under contract. Median days on market fell to 35 from 44 a year ago.

INVENTORY
Active listings totaled 293 at the end of August 2026, down 15.3% from 346 in August 2025. With 107 new listings against 66 closings, supply continued to build during the month.

MARKET BALANCE
Months of inventory stood at 4.4, compared with 4.3 in August 2025. That compares with 4.4 months for the DFW Metroplex and 5.4 months statewide. The inventory decline came from fewer homes being listed rather than from faster absorption, since closed sales also fell.

Wylie Housing Market Outlook: Fall 2026

Wylie recorded a 7.3% decline in median price, the steepest among the area's full-volume markets, while months of inventory held nearly flat at 4.4. New listings at 107 substantially exceeded the 66 closings, which points to supply building through the fall rather than tightening. The 96.6% sale-to-original-list ratio indicates sellers have been pricing to market rather than discounting under pressure, so the median decline likely reflects the mix of homes transacting. Wylie's position just below the $389,000 DFW median keeps it competitive for buyers moving out from closer-in submarkets. If mortgage rates ease, improved affordability at the current median could lift the pending sales figure before it affects price. Sellers should expect continued competition and price against active listings rather than spring closings.
