United States: Home Price Growth Seen at 1.2% in 2026
Looking ahead to 2026, we're anticipating a shift toward a more balanced real estate market, with home prices across the U.S. expected to grow by just about 1.2%. For many buyers in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and beyond, this slower pace could mean a friendlier environment for making a move. Existing-home sales are projected to hit 4.10 million, a slight yearly increase, suggesting steady activity—especially in the latter half of the year. Mortgage rates are likely to remain in the low-6% range, and with home price growth easing and incomes rising, typical buyer payments are expected to decrease by around 2% per year. Renters might see some continued relief as well, with rents forecasted to drop approximately 1% thanks to strong multifamily supply. While private listing networks haven't yet made a major dent in overall sales, broad market visibility continues to be key for both buyers and sellers. As someone who guides first-time buyers, investors, and renters through the DFW market every day, I’m keeping a close eye on these trends to help you navigate your next step with confidence.

Texas Ranked Second in Remodeling
Proud to see Texas making headlines again—this time as the nation’s second-largest state for remodeling activity in Q1 2026, with about 7% of the national share and nearly $20 billion in projects. Our state continues to be a powerhouse, driving remodeling demand even when other markets slow down. This consistent strength, highlighted by sector confidence staying above 60 over the past year, means homeowners here are investing in their spaces—whether it’s modern updates, welcoming spaces for new family needs, or making homes more comfortable for aging in place. As someone who guides buyers, investors, and renters across the Dallas-Fort Worth area, I see firsthand how these upgrades don’t just add value—they help turn a house into your key to Texas living. Remodeling trends like these are truly shaping the way we experience home in our communities.

Dallas Renters Enjoy Lower Single-Family Home Prices
It’s been another year of shifts in the Dallas rental market—single-family home rents have slid 2.2% year-over-year, now averaging $2,200. That marks the third straight annual decline, and rents are down nearly 12% since 2023. The main drivers? More new construction coming online and an uptick in accidental landlords adding to inventory. We’re seeing similar trends across the country, but these local numbers are especially important for my DFW clients—whether you’re navigating your first lease, looking for a solid investment, or considering your next move as a renter. Staying tuned to these changes is key to making smart decisions in our ever-evolving market.

Texas Ranks Among Top Remodel-Activity States
It’s always impressive to see Texas standing out as a leader in home remodeling activity. In Q1 2026, our state accounted for an estimated $20 billion in remodeling projects—about 7% of the nation’s total. That puts Texas second in the country, and it’s a clear sign that homeowners here continue to invest in their homes, even when the broader market feels uncertain. The latest quarterly analysis highlighted Texas as one of the top three states driving remodeling demand, tracking strong dollar volume and market share. Confidence in the sector held steady above 60 over the past year, which reflects the commitment so many Texas homeowners have to updating and improving their spaces. As home equity rises, I’m seeing more clients explore renovations—whether it’s to age in place or simply make their home fit their lifestyle. Having helped buyers and investors across Dallas-Fort Worth, I know firsthand how these upgrades can add long-term value and comfort. It’s an exciting time for homeowners to consider what’s possible.

Addressing Urban Challenges Beyond Average Renter Costs
As someone helping renters, buyers, and investors navigate the DFW market, I’ve seen firsthand how average numbers don’t always tell the full story. Between 2019 and 2022, apartment renter cost burdens climbed in most US cities—especially here in the Sun Belt. Half of all renters now spend more than 30% of their income on rent. What’s even more concerning: while the averages may look steady, severe cost burdens are actually on the rise. This means many families are feeling hidden strains that aren’t obvious at first glance. Whether you’re searching for your first home or looking for a smart investment, understanding these deeper affordability challenges is key—especially in a dynamic market like Dallas-Fort Worth. At Come Get The Keys, I’m committed to making sure my clients see the whole picture, not just the headline numbers.

Smart Tips to Save Thousands on Metro Mortgages
It’s surprising how many homebuyers end up paying more than they should for their mortgages—sometimes by thousands each year. Recent numbers show borrowers in major U.S. cities are spending an average of $3,300 extra annually, with those in coastal metros seeing that figure rise to $8,100. Over 80% of buyers are affected, often because they don’t compare enough lenders or shop for better terms. As someone who guides clients through every step of the process here in DFW, I always encourage exploring all your options—not just with homes, but with your financing too. A little diligence up front can mean big savings over the life of your loan. That’s something I prioritize for every first-time buyer, investor, or renter I work with at Monument Realty.

Why Uptown Dallas Apartment Rents Defied the Metro Slump
It’s fascinating to see how Uptown Dallas stands out in the rental market. While the broader Dallas metro area saw rents slip by 8%, Uptown’s effective rents across 64 properties actually climbed 7% since late 2022, now averaging $2,569—outpacing even Intown Dallas. What’s driving this resilience? It’s all about location: Uptown’s close connection to key employers and sought-after amenities keeps demand strong. Having helped renters and investors navigate these fast-moving Dallas neighborhoods, I know how much the right location can impact both value and lifestyle. Uptown continues to show why it’s a favorite for so many looking to make a smart move in our city.

Texas Home Prices Hit Record Highs
As someone who helps buyers and sellers navigate the DFW real estate landscape every day, I’m always keeping an eye on the big picture across Texas. Right now, Texas home prices have climbed to record highs, with the median price hovering around $441K. Even though markets elsewhere are slowing down, our local market remains active—but there’s no denying that higher mortgage rates (still in the mid-6% range) are making things tougher, especially for younger or first-time buyers. Many sellers are holding firm on their asking prices, and some choose to pull their listings rather than adjust to current demand, which is adding a bit of extra tension between what sellers hope for and what buyers can stretch for. For those looking to enter the market, experts suggest mortgage rates closer to 4% could help unlock the next strong phase. As always, I’m here to help you make sense of these shifts—so you can come get the keys with confidence.
