Moving into your first home together is more than just a milestone — it’s a leap toward building roots. If you’re in the Dallas–Fort Worth area, here’s what today’s market looks like — and how you can make it work for you.

📍 DFW Market Snapshot (2025)
• Inventory in DFW is up ~53%, with more homes than we’ve seen in years — and about 66% of homes are now selling below list price.
MDRE Group

MDRE Group

• In Dallas, the average home value is around $306,602, down ~4.8% year-over-year.
Zillow

🏦 Mortgage & Loan Trends in Texas / DFW
• In Texas today, 30-year fixed mortgage rates average 6.56%, and 15-year fixed around 5.88%.
Bankrate

• In Dallas specifically, 30-year fixed offers are being quoted near 5.998% (APR ~6.107%) for qualified buyers.
texasunitedmortgage.com

• Good news: Texas mortgage rates have dipped to their lowest level of 2025.
alpinebanker.com

• This fall is looking like a “buyer’s window,” with rates easing toward ~6.5% in DFW and homes being negotiated below list.
MDRE Group

💡 What This Means for You
• You have more negotiating power. Because inventory is higher, sellers are more flexible on price, repairs, and incentives.
• Lock in while rates are falling. Even small rate movement can save you hundreds per month over the life of a loan.
• Explore all loan options—FHA, conventional, or first-time buyer programs can help with down payments or closing costs.
• Work with a lender who understands DFW’s neighborhoods (Plano, Frisco, McKinney, Arlington, etc.). Local insight helps find value.
