The Dallas housing market in 2025 is cooling, with more homes for sale than in recent years, lower median prices, and a shift toward balanced or even buyer-friendly conditions. If you’re selling, you’ll need to adjust your expectations, price competitively, and lean on expert local guidance from teams like Morgan Schneider’s Schneider Realty Group at Compass for the best outcome. zillow+2

The Dallas housing market in 2025 looks different compared to the past few years. There’s more inventory, homes are selling more slowly, and prices are slightly lower than last year.

Median home price in Dallas in mid-2025: $399,000 (down 2.2% from last year). noradarealestate

Why Is the Market Shifting?

Several key trends are shaping the Dallas housing market this year:

Increased Inventory: More sellers are listing after hesitating in prior years, and new construction is adding options. mdregroup+1
Slightly Lower Prices: Median prices have dipped, offering some relief for buyers, but they remain higher than pre-pandemic levels. newsweek+2
Longer Days on Market: Homes now spend an average of 86 days on the market, compared to 75 a year ago. noradarealestate
Higher Mortgage Rates: The 30-year fixed rate averaged 6.7% in July 2025. noradarealestate

This adds up to a more balanced situation, where buyers have leverage and sellers must carefully plan their moves. mdregroup+1

What Does This Mean If You’re Selling?

If you plan to sell in 2025, you face some new realities:

Price Your Home Realistically: Bidding wars are rare, and many homes now sell under list price—66% sold below listing in March 2025. Pricing too high can mean your property sits longer. mdregroup+1
Expect More Competition: With more active listings, buyers have more choices. Your home needs to stand out with accurate pricing and great presentation. newsweek+1
Be Open to Negotiation: Buyers expect concessions, and flexibility on terms could help you secure a qualified buyer. mdregroup+1
Work With Proven Experts: Local knowledge is crucial. Morgan Schneider and the Schneider Realty Group at Compass know the Dallas neighborhoods, market nuances, and will help you adapt your selling strategy.
