What’s Fueling Market Changes in Dallas?

1. Rising Inventory

With inventory at its highest level in years (up 53%), buyers have more options, and sellers are adjusting their expectations. Listings are staying up longer, and many sellers are being forced to reduce prices for a sale. mdregroup+1

2. More Price Reductions

About one in four Dallas homes on the market had a price cut in 2025, reflecting increased competition and price sensitivity among buyers. This trend is even more pronounced in entry-level and mid-tier home segments. reventureapp

3. Interest Rate Fluctuations

Mortgage rates stabilized near 6.5-6.7% in mid-2025, affecting affordability. Sellers who price in line with what buyers can actually afford (rather than last year's highs) see more success. mdregroup

4. Neighborhood Differences

While most of Dallas is seeing softening prices, a few luxury pockets and popular zip codes are holding their value better. In less competitive neighborhoods, sellers must be especially strategic with pricing and staging.

Schneider Realty Group’s Top Advice for Dallas Sellers

Price Realistically: Use a hyper-local CMA (Comparative Market Analysis). Seek a price that matches recent sales, not just the highest wishful comp.
Invest in Marketing: Stand out with professional photos, video tours, and neighborhood-specific highlights in your listing.
Prepare for Negotiation: With two-thirds of homes selling below list, set expectations for offers coming in under asking.
Offer Flexibility: Closing cost assistance or incentives can make your home more attractive as buyers gain leverage.
Consult Local Data: Trends vary block by block. Schneider Realty Group helps you interpret this data for smarter decision-making.
