Inside the city limits the market stops behaving like a metro and starts behaving like a collection of small, distinct places that happen to share a zip code prefix. Highland Park and Oak Cliff sit fifteen minutes apart and operate on entirely different price structures, architectural stock, and school district lines. That variation is the whole reason buyers who know these neighborhoods do well here and buyers who search by city name alone tend to overpay.

Market Snapshot
The Dallas Proper Housing Market
The four interactive charts below pull live from NTREIS, the same MLS data agents use. Texas is a non-disclosure state, which means most national sites are estimating what these homes actually sold for. These are not estimates. Hover any chart to see the numbers month by month, going back several years.
Median Sales Price
What Homes Actually Sold For
What buyers actually paid, not what sellers hoped to get. Median finds the exact middle of the range, so one outlier sale cannot distort the picture. Sellers: a rising median signals real demand. Buyers: the gap between list and sale price tells you who holds the leverage. The chart below tracks it month by month.

Days On Market
How Fast Homes Are Moving
How long a home sits before going under contract. Under thirty days means multiple offers are common. Over sixty means buyers are selective. Sellers: this sets expectations before you list. Buyers: it tells you whether to decide fast or take your time. The chart below shows the trend.

Shows To Pending
How Many Buyers Walked Through
Showings before a home went under contract, and almost nobody publishes it. Sellers: this is the early warning system. If the area averages eight showings and yours has had fifteen with no offer, the problem is price or presentation. Buyers: a high number means you can be selective. See the chart below.

Percent Of Original Price
Who Is Winning The Negotiation
Final sale price against the original list price, before any reductions. The most honest number here, because it catches the price cuts days on market hides. Sellers: the argument for pricing right the first time. Buyers: how much room your offer actually has. The chart below tracks it.
