Dallas buyers have more leverage than they’ve had in a long time.
Dallas now ranks as the No. 8 strongest buyer’s market in the U.S., with 30,854 sellers compared with 14,865 buyers. That means sellers currently outnumber buyers by 107%.
For buyers, more inventory and less competition can mean more time to evaluate options, negotiate on price, and potentially ask for concessions such as repairs or help with closing costs.
Another number worth watching: 79% of Dallas homes sold below their original asking price in August.
For sellers, this doesn’t mean homes aren’t selling. It means pricing, presentation, and positioning matter more. Buyers have choices, and the homes that stand out are the ones that are prepared and priced with the current market in mind.
A buyer’s market creates opportunity, but the right strategy still depends on the home, neighborhood, and your individual goals.
Thinking about buying or selling in Dallas? Let’s talk about what these numbers mean for you.
