DFW Market News
The numbers from November are in. When we compare this year-to-date data on single family homes to last year’s we get the following changes:
  • The number of sales are up 2%
  • The average price is up 2% to $316,972
  • The days on market is up 13% and is now at an average of 51 days. (Still less than two months. Remember, six months is considered to be a balanced market).
  • The number of active listings is up 10%.
 
The hottest areas are pretty close to where they were last month:
#5 – Bedford
#4 – Grand Prairie (area 271)
#3 – Dallas Southeast
#2 – Arlington Central SE
#1 – Arlington Central NE
The inventory in these areas are six weeks or less. Meaning if no new listings came on the market, it would take about six weeks to sell all homes for sale given the current demand.

The Takeaway
We’re closing on the end of the year and things are steady. Sellers still have the market, especially for anything in an affordable, more average price-point.
