Downtown Dallas: momentum (with volatility)

Downtown Dallas showed a striking jump in December 2025: median sale price ~$520K (+34.6% YoY) with ~58 days on market.
Downtown price moves can be dramatic because the number of sales is smaller and the mix (condos vs townhomes) can swing the median.

North Dallas: a very different story

North Dallas showed a median sale price around ~$1.03M in December 2025, down ~9.87% YoY, with homes taking about ~65 days on market.

What this means if you’re buying

• In declining pockets, you can negotiate harder: inspections, concessions, and price discipline matter more.

• In surging pockets, you win by being prepared (strong pre-approval, decisive showing schedule, clean offer terms).

What this means if you’re selling

Use the “right comp set.” Downtown comps can’t price North Dallas, and vice versa.

• Downtown sellers: tighten condition + staging to reduce buyer nitpicking even when demand is strong.

• North Dallas sellers: pricing strategy is everything—buyers have options and time.
