What Do These Trends Mean for You?

The DFW market is showing clear signs of moderation, with longer days on market and more inventory in many counties. Here’s what you should consider:

  • For Buyers: Slower sales and rising inventory in counties like Dallas and Collin give you more time and flexibility to explore options and make offers.

  • For Sellers: While price growth remains positive in Denton and Tarrant counties, it’s essential to set realistic expectations on days to sell. Pricing competitively and working with an experienced agent will help maximize your results.
