Data Source: Dallas Morning News, Realtor.com, and National Association of Realtors (NAR), October 2025.
Market Overview
As of August 2025, the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) housing market is experiencing notable shifts. Over a third of home listings in the area have seen price reductions, indicating a cooling trend after years of rapid appreciation. This adjustment is a response to increased inventory and a deceleration in buyer demand.
The median home price in DFW remained relatively stable at nearly $390,000 in September, showing little change compared to the previous year. However, the number of active listings rose by 18.6% year-over-year, signaling a shift towards a more balanced market. Homes are now staying on the market longer, with the average time from listing to closing increasing to 95 days, up from 87 days last year.
Regional Insights
Collin County: The median home price dropped 6.3% year-over-year to nearly $450,000, with sales up nearly 12%.
Denton County: Experienced a 6% decline in median home prices to approximately $437,000, while sales increased by 8.4%.
These price adjustments reflect sellers' efforts to align with current market conditions and attract buyers.
Buyer Opportunities
For prospective buyers, this market shift presents opportunities to negotiate better deals. With increased inventory and more flexible pricing, buyers have greater leverage. However, it's essential to act promptly, as the market remains competitive, and favorable conditions may not last long.
