What North Texas actually sells for.
72,542 homes sold across the Dallas-Fort Worth cities we work in over the last twelve months, $37.92B in all. Here is what those sales say, in plain answers for buyers and sellers. The median home went for $399,838 (≈ $2,334/mo with 10% down) and found its buyer in 36 days.
The average runs 31% above the middle, which is the high end of Dallas-Fort Worth pulling it up. The median is the better read on a typical home; the average is the better read on how much money is moving.
So, whose market is it?
Supply against sales pace, updated every night. This is the number that decides how hard each side gets to negotiate.
Supply and demand are roughly matched. Well-priced homes move, overpriced ones sit. Right now that's 35,992 homes on the market against a pace of 6,045 sales a month, median asking $425,000.

The price landscape.
Where prices actually cluster, and how often homes at each level sold under, at, or over their asking price.
Most homes sold between $200,000 and $500,000. The median sale was $399,838, the highlighted bar.
Shares are of sales where we hold an asking price to compare against. They do not add to 100%: the rest sold at exactly the asking price, which is about a fifth of all sales. The dearer the home, the likelier it sold below its asking price. Bands under 20 sales are left out rather than shown on a handful of homes.
What does your budget actually buy?
Slide it. Cities come in and out of reach, and the same dollars buy very different square footage across the metroplex.
“In reach” means the city's median sale price is at or below your budget, so roughly half the homes there sold for less. Size is your budget over that city's median price per square foot. Payment is principal & interest, 30-year fixed, 10% down, an estimate not an offer.
When to list, when to buy.
The month a home goes on the market changes how fast it sells and who has the leverage. Every figure here is grouped by the month a seller listed, not the month the sale closed.
Quickest months to list. March and April were the quickest, both at 27 days. Treat the two as one window.
Best month to buy. 67% of homes listed in October sold for less than their asking price, the highest share of any month, so that is when buyers have the most room to negotiate. It is the same month a seller has the least.
Grouped by the month a home went on the market, not the month it closed. That is the month a seller actually chooses. Bars show the real figure, so a longer bar always means a bigger number. Months with fewer than 15 listings are left out.
How often sellers help with closing costs.
Money from the seller toward the buyer's costs often moves before asking prices do, which makes it one of the earliest signs a market is turning.
More sellers are contributing than two years ago. In our market, 55% of homes sold in the last twelve months came with money from the seller toward the buyer's costs. The typical amount was $7,500, about 2.0% of the sale price.
Share of closed sales where the seller contributed toward the buyer's closing costs, with the typical contribution when one was given. Both the median and the average are taken over the same cleaned set. Based on 72,532 of the 72,542 sales that closed in the last twelve months. The rest closed before the MLS recorded this field, and are excluded rather than counted as zero, and 1,652 entries above 10% of the sale price were dropped as data-entry errors.
How the market moved.
Every point is a full month of closed sales. The current month is left off until it finishes, so a half-counted month never looks like a drop.
