Timing

When to list in Denton, and when to buy.

Grouped by the month a home went on the market, which is the month a seller actually picks, rather than the month the sale closed.

Jul/Jan

Quickest months to list. July and January were the quickest, at 39 and 40 days. That gap is too small to choose between them, so treat the two as one window.

Sep/Aug

Softest months for sellers. In both September and August, 72% of homes listed sold below asking. Buyers have room in either.

Month by month
Homes listed in July sold fastest, at 39 days. Best month for sellers.

Grouped by the month a home went on the market, not the month it closed. That is the month a seller actually chooses. Bars show the real figure, so a longer bar always means a bigger number. Months with fewer than 15 listings are left out.

Shares are of sales where we hold an asking price to compare against. They do not add to 100%: the rest sold at exactly the asking price, which is about a fifth of all sales. The dearer the home, the likelier it sold below its asking price. Bands under 20 sales are left out rather than shown on a handful of homes.

What sellers are giving
For sellers

How often Denton sellers help with closing costs.

Money from the seller toward the buyer's costs often moves before asking prices do, which makes it one of the earliest signs a market is turning.

More sellers are contributing than two years ago. In Denton, 59% of homes sold in the last twelve months came with money from the seller toward the buyer's costs. The typical amount was $8,452, about 2.4% of the sale price.

Share of closed sales where the seller contributed toward the buyer's closing costs, with the typical contribution when one was given. Both the median and the average are taken over the same cleaned set. Based on 1,844 of the 1,844 sales that closed in the last twelve months. The rest closed before the MLS recorded this field, and are excluded rather than counted as zero, and 54 entries above 10% of the sale price were dropped as data-entry errors.

Denton sales grouped by the elementary school a home is zoned to, which is the boundary most families actually shop against. These zones cover 98% of everything that sold here. Only zones with at least a dozen sales are shown, so every figure rests on real volume. The price column follows the Median/Average switch at the top of the page. School assignment comes from the listing record at the time of sale; boundaries change, so confirm current zoning with the district before relying on it.
