The average runs 31% above the middle, which is the high end of Dallas–Fort Worth pulling it up. The median is the better read on a typical home; the average is the better read on how much money is moving.

The one-line answer

So — whose market is it?

Supply against sales pace, updated every night. This is the number that decides how hard each side gets to negotiate.

Each calendar month averaged across the two years of data above, for our market as a whole. A pattern, not a promise — the right time to move is when your life says so.

What your money reaches
For buyers

What does your budget actually buy?

Slide it. Cities come in and out of reach, and the same dollars buy very different square footage across the metroplex.

The one that matters most
For sellers

Price it right, or pay for it.

Two groups, one market: homes that sold for the price they were first listed at, and homes that sold for less. Same year, same buyers, very different endings — first at the typical price here, then at whatever number you want to try.

Every home was first listed at some price. In our market, 23.7% of homes sold for that first number or better. The other 76.3% sold for less than they first asked. On a $400,000 home, here is how those two endings differ.

sold in about 8 days · 23.7% of sales
Sold below the price it was first listed at
$376,800
sold in about 50 days · 76.3% of sales
$23,200
less in the seller's pocket, after 42 more days on the market. That is the gap between the two groups above, on a $400,000 home in our market.

Read it as a pattern, not a promise. Some homes sell under their first price for reasons no strategy would fix: condition, a hard location, a seller who had to move fast. But the split looks like this in every city in this report, and the first number is the one thing a seller gets to choose. Based on 73,814 sales in our market over the window.

Straight answers

The questions everyone asks.

Short answers from the live numbers above — the same figures, in plain sentences.

What does the typical home in Dallas–Fort Worth cost?
The median sale price across 73,835 closed sales in the last twelve months (Aug 2025 – Jul 2026) is $400,000 — half sold for less, half for more. That works out to about $193 per square foot. At today's rates that is roughly $2,335/month in principal and interest with 10% down.
What is the average home price in Dallas–Fort Worth, and how is it different from the median?
Both are on this page. The median sale price in Dallas–Fort Worth is $400,000 — half of homes sold for less, half for more — and the average (mean) is $523,523. The average runs 31% above the median. A mean is pulled by the top of the market and a median is not, so the gap is a direct read on how heavy the high end is. Use the median to picture a typical home and the average to gauge how much money is moving. Every price figure in this report can be switched between the two.
Is DFW a buyer's or a seller's market right now?
Dallas–Fort Worth is roughly balanced right now, with about 5.9 months of housing supply. Supply and demand are roughly matched — well-priced homes move, overpriced ones sit.
How long does it take to sell a house in DFW?
The median home in the region found its buyer in 36 days. Homes priced right the first time move much faster than that number — homes that start high and cut later wait well past it.
Which DFW cities are the most affordable?
Among cities with enough sales to report, the lowest medians in the window were Balch Springs ($255,000), Haltom City ($258,500), Lancaster ($280,000). The budget explorer above shows what a specific budget reaches in every reported city.
What is the best month to sell a home in DFW?
Averaged over the months in this report, sale prices have peaked in June (about 2.6% above the yearly average), and June has seen the most closings — which also means the most competition among sellers.
Where does this data come from, and how current is it?
Every figure is computed from closed-sale records in the North Texas Real Estate Information Systems (NTREIS) MLS covering twelve DFW counties, refreshed nightly. The report publishes aggregate statistics only — individual listings, addresses, and sale prices of specific homes are never shown.
Nail & Key Real Estate Group

Closed residential sales (single-family, condo, and townhome — leases excluded) in 12 North Texas counties: Collin, Dallas, Denton, Ellis, Grayson, Hunt, Johnson, Kaufman, Parker, Rockwall, Tarrant, Wise. Statistics cover Aug 2025 – Jul 2026, complete months only. Medians are computed per city; cities with fewer than 24 sales in the trailing twelve months are not shown individually but still count in the regional totals. Monthly payment figures are estimates (30-year fixed, 10% down, principal and interest only) and not a loan offer.

Based on information from the North Texas Real Estate Information Systems, Inc. (NTREIS) for the period Aug 2025 through Jul 2026. Aggregate statistics only — Texas is a non-disclosure state, and neither individual sale prices nor any single property's details are published here. Data is deemed reliable but is not guaranteed accurate by the MLS or NTREIS. Figures update nightly (last updated August 16, 2026).
