The one that matters most
For sellers

Pricing right in DeSoto.

What happened to homes that sold for their first asking price, and to homes that did not.

Every home was first listed at some price. In DeSoto, 28.3% of homes sold for that first number or better. The other 71.7% sold for less than they first asked. On a $345,000 home, here is how those two endings differ.

Sold at or above the price it was first listed at
$347,001
sold in about 12 days · 28.3% of sales
Sold below the price it was first listed at
$327,198
sold in about 55 days · 71.7% of sales
$19,803
less in the seller's pocket, after 43 more days on the market. That is the gap between the two groups above, on a $345,000 home in DeSoto.

Read it as a pattern, not a promise. Some homes sell under their first price for reasons no strategy would fix: condition, a hard location, a seller who had to move fast. But the split looks like this in every city in this report, and the first number is the one thing a seller gets to choose. Based on 435 sales in DeSoto over the window.

Nail & Key Real Estate Group

Closed residential sales (single-family, condo, and townhome — leases excluded) in 12 North Texas counties: Collin, Dallas, Denton, Ellis, Grayson, Hunt, Johnson, Kaufman, Parker, Rockwall, Tarrant, Wise. Statistics cover Aug 2025 – Jul 2026, complete months only. Medians are computed per city; cities with fewer than 24 sales in the trailing twelve months are not shown individually but still count in the regional totals. Monthly payment figures are estimates (30-year fixed, 10% down, principal and interest only) and not a loan offer.

Based on information from the North Texas Real Estate Information Systems, Inc. (NTREIS) for the period Aug 2025 through Jul 2026. Aggregate statistics only — Texas is a non-disclosure state, and neither individual sale prices nor any single property's details are published here. Data is deemed reliable but is not guaranteed accurate by the MLS or NTREIS. Figures update nightly (last updated August 13, 2026).
