The Dallas-Fort Worth real estate market in June 2026 looks a lot different than it did three years ago, and that is mostly a good thing. Prices have stabilized near $395,000 to $400,000 for a median home across the metro, inventory is up year-over-year, and buyers are getting something they rarely had between 2020 and 2022: time to think.
The Broader Market
Active listings across DFW are sitting at roughly 38,000 to 45,000 homes, up meaningfully from the depths of the inventory crunch we saw at the peak. Days on market have stretched into the mid-to-upper 20s across the metro as a whole, with some suburbs pushing into the 40s and 60s. That is not a crash. That is a market returning to something closer to normal after a few years of anything-but-normal.
What We Are Seeing in Northwest DFW
In the communities we work most often, the picture varies neighborhood by neighborhood. Trophy Club homes are averaging around 43 days on market with median sale prices near $850,000. Roanoke is running a similar pace, around 44 days, with a median closer to $500,000, which makes it one of the more accessible entry points in the northwest corridor. Southlake is taking longer to move, averaging 60 to 68 days on market, with median prices between $1.2 million and $1.4 million. The luxury segment there requires patience, but corporate relocation demand continues to keep it steady.
Keller remains consistent, with families prioritizing Keller ISD continuing to drive demand across a range of price points. Northlake keeps growing as infrastructure matures around Pecan Square and Canyon Falls, drawing buyers who want new construction and resort-style amenities at a price point that still makes sense compared to communities farther south and east.
For Buyers
This is a real window of opportunity. You have more homes to choose from, sellers who are open to negotiating, and in many cases builder incentives that would have been unthinkable in 2022. Interest rates are still part of the conversation, but buyers who find the right home at the right price are closing with confidence. Get pre-approved before you start looking, know your target neighborhoods well, and work with someone who has visibility into off-market and coming-soon inventory before it hits the major portals.
For Sellers
Buyers today are doing their research. They can see what similar homes sold for, they know which listings have been sitting for 60 days, and they are patient enough to wait for value. The sellers doing well right now are pricing with intention from day one, putting money into presentation, and entering the market with realistic expectations. Homes that hit the market correctly priced and well-prepared are still selling at or near asking. The ones sitting are almost always the ones that missed the mark early and are now chasing the market down.
