DFW Real Estate Market Snapshot – September 2025

September brings not only a change in the weather but also a shift in the real estate market. If you’re considering buying or selling a home in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex this fall, it’s important to stay ahead of the trends. Let’s break down the latest stats and insights.

Current Market Trends

The frenzied summer pace has cooled slightly but make no mistake — the market remains active. With interest rates showing slight stabilization and motivated buyers still searching, the fall market is expected to hold steady.

Average Home Prices

As of this month, the median home price in DFW is approximately $430,000. Prices are holding relatively firm with moderate year-over-year increases in core areas like Plano, Frisco, Arlington, and parts of Fort Worth.

Days on Market

The average time a home stays on the market is 34 days, a modest increase from the summer rush. However, homes priced appropriately — especially in good school zones — are still moving quickly.

Inventory & Market Conditions

Inventory is up 6% from August, giving buyers a bit more selection. However, it’s still below pre-pandemic norms, and sellers continue to benefit in many submarkets. We’re seeing a shift toward a more balanced market — with certain neighborhoods leaning seller-favorable.

Buyer & Seller Expectations

• First-time buyers re-engaging due to stabilized rates

• Sellers looking to capitalize before the holidays

• Slight uptick in investor activity due to rental demand
