Median Price Developments

The median price for homes in the DFW Metroplex increased by 1.3% to $395,000 compared to March 2023. This growth reflects a continued appreciation in home values, suggesting a stable market favorable to sellers.

Inventory and Listing Trends

There was a substantial increase of 34.8% in active listings, indicating that more homeowners are looking to sell. This rise in listings provides buyers with more options and less competition per listing, potentially easing the buying process.

Sales Dynamics

Closed sales have seen a decline of 7.0% from the previous year. This reduction could be a result of the increased inventory allowing buyers to be more selective, or other economic factors influencing buyer confidence.

Homes spent 53 days on the market before going under contract, with the closing process taking an additional 31 days. This quicker turnaround time from listing to sale indicates a more dynamic market, despite the decrease in closed sales.
