280 homes sold in Heath over the last twelve months, $255.8M in all. The middle price was $750,000 (≈ $4,378/mo with 10% down), a typical home found its buyer in 66 days, and prices here run 88% above the DFW median.
The average runs 22% above the middle, which is the high end of Heath 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.

Heath against the cities next door.
The alternative to a house here is usually a house one town over. Here is what that trade actually costs.
Median sale price over the window, for Heath and every city that borders it, and it follows the Median/Average switch at the top of the page. The towns next door are usually the real alternative, and a few minutes' drive can be worth a hundred thousand dollars in either direction.
How Heath moved, month by month.
When to list in Heath, and when to buy.
Grouped by the month a home went on the market, which is the month a seller actually picks, rather than the month the sale closed.
Best month to list. Homes that went on the market in May found a buyer in a median of 39 days, about 35 days quicker than the rest of the year.
Softest months for sellers. 90% of homes listed in June sold below asking, against 88% in November. On a market this size those are the same answer, so buyers have room in both.
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.
What homes here sold for.
Every sale in the window, sorted into price ranges, so you can see where the middle of this market sits.
Most homes sold between $300,000 and $900,000. The median sale was $750,000, 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.
How often Heath 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 Heath, 43% of homes sold in the last twelve months came with money from the seller toward the buyer's costs. The typical amount was $10,000, about 1.5% 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 280 of the 280 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 3 entries above 10% of the sale price were dropped as data-entry errors.
Where Heath actually trades.
The city median is one number stretched over very different neighborhoods. Here it is broken apart three ways: by the elementary school a home is zoned to, by area on the map, and by the subdivisions with the most sales.
Homes zoned to Amy Parks-Heath sold at a median of $996,625, against $586,500 for Linda Lyon. Same city.
| Elementary zone | Homes sold | Median price | $ / sq ft | Days on market |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Linda Lyon | 138 | $586,500 | $210 | 82 |
| Amy Parks-Heath | 90 | $996,625 | $248 | 52 |
| Dorothy Smith Pullen | 50 | $945,000 | $231 | 53 |
Heath sales grouped by the elementary school a home is zoned to, which is the boundary most families actually shop against. These zones cover 99% of everything that sold here. Only zones with at least a dozen sales are shown, so every figure rests on real volume. The price column follows the Median/Average switch at the top of the page. School assignment comes from the listing record at the time of sale; boundaries change, so confirm current zoning with the district before relying on it.
| Neighborhood | Homes sold | Median price | $ / sq ft | Days on market |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Heath Golf & Yacht Club | 39 | $655,000 | $204 | 92 |
| Buffalo Creek Country Club Estate | 27 | $785,000 | $225 | 47 |
| Heath Golf & Yacht Club Tr | 15 | $370,000 | $196 | 74 |

These numbers describe the city. Pricing one specific house, or competing for it, needs someone who has walked the comparable homes. That part is on us.
