The DFW market officially shifted in 2026, and if you've been thinking about selling — you need to read this.

Here's where we are right now in the metroplex:

✓ About 25,211 active listings — the highest level in years
✓ Median home prices stabilized between $420,000 and $495,000
✓ Days on market: 45 to 71 days
✓ Over 40% of sellers are offering concessions to buyers
✓ Rate buydowns up to $25,000 are showing up regularly in southwest DFW

That's not a crash. The market hasn't fallen apart. It rebalanced. Buyers have the upper hand now, and sellers can't list a home in 2026 the way they listed it in 2022.

Here's what I'm seeing every week with sellers in DeSoto, Cedar Hill, Duncanville, and Lancaster: the homes that win are priced right the first time, prepared well before they list, and the seller has already decided what concession structure they're willing to offer before the offer comes in.

The homes that lose? They priced from old comps. They sat 60 days. Then they cut. Then they cut again. Then they finally sold for less than if they'd just priced it right on Day One.

You don't have to guess on this. The Home Selling Score tells you exactly where your home stands against current market conditions — pricing strength, timing, and whether a buydown will outperform a price cut for your specific home and zip code.

Dallas just did something almost no other big city did in 2025.

Cost of living went down.

While inflation stayed elevated nationally — Dallas dropped 0.8% and landed 1.5% below the U.S. average.

Here's what that means for DFW homeowners right now:
🏡 Your equity has been building while costs cooled
📉 DFW rents dropped ~2.5% — easing the market for your next move
💰 Builder incentives are still on the table for new construction
📍 DeSoto, Cedar Hill, Red Oak, Glenn Heights — all in strong sell zones

If you've been thinking about a sell and build in Dallas, this is the data that says go.

The Dallas housing market just hit an inflection point.
Buyers are active. Inventory is tight. Your home is priced firm.

But if rates spike from here — that changes fast. ⚠️

Here's what smart move-up buyers in DFW are doing right now:
🏡 Selling while buyer demand is still strong
💰 Capturing equity before the market cools
🔨 Locking in DFW builder incentives — rate buydowns, design credits, free upgrades
📍 Moving into new construction in Frisco, Prosper, or Celina

Selling your house in Dallas doesn't have to mean starting over. It means starting fresh — in a brand new home.
The best time to sell in Dallas is when buyers are competing. Right now, they still are.

Rates down. Your budget up.

When mortgage rates drop, your buying power grows. A 1 percentage point dip can let you borrow about 10 percent more for the same monthly payment. Example. A 30-year loan with a 2,660 monthly budget buys roughly 400k at 7 percent and about 444k at 6 percent. That is real leverage in places like DeSoto, Cedar Hill, Red Oak, Lancaster, Midlothian, and Waxahachie.

Today’s 30-year average is about 6.19 percent, the lowest in over a year. That lowers monthly payments and can bring more new construction options back into reach. Want to go further. We can pair a temporary or permanent buydown with builder concessions to shrink the payment even more.

DM me “BUYING POWER” for a quick, no-obligation affordability game plan using my Cash Plus, HomeSwap, or Sell & Stay options.
