DFW Real Estate Market Cools: Why That’s Good News for Buyers and Sellers Who Play It Smart

The Dallas–Fort Worth housing market is shifting, and fast.
While some see a “cooling market” as a warning sign, for buyers and savvy sellers, it’s a rare moment of opportunity.

📈 Inventory Surges Across DFW: Buyers Regain Negotiating Power

Active listings across DFW have jumped more than 53% year-over-year, with some neighborhoods seeing 66% of homes selling below list price. That means buyers are entering the market with more choices and stronger negotiating leverage than we’ve seen in years.

According to Realtor.com, inventory is up over 55%, clear proof that the balance of power is shifting toward the buying side.

💲 Prices Adjust, But Not Uniformly

• Collin County: Home prices are dipping by 3–4%, opening doors for entry and mid-tier buyers.

• Luxury Market: High-end properties remain steady, with some even inching upward.

• City of Dallas: Median prices hover around $399,000, while active listings surged 37%.

This isn’t a total buyer’s market. Demand still thrives for well-priced homes in prime locations, but it is a chance for buyers to secure value and for sellers to make a strategic move.

🎯 Sellers: How to Stand Out Right Now

If you’re thinking of selling, don’t hit the brakes. Instead, focus on three winning strategies:

1. Price with Precision
   Use up-to-date comps, not last year’s highs.

2. Stage with Lifestyle in Mind
   Showcase how buyers can live in your home, not just see it.

3. Offer Meaningful Incentives
   This is where my 100 Days of Greatness program transforms your listing from “seen” to “sold.”
