As we head into August 2025, the Dallas-Fort Worth real estate market remains strong but is beginning to show signs of shifting dynamics. Here’s your quick snapshot of what investors, homebuyers, and sellers need to know.
August typically marks a transitional period as families settle into the new school year and the market readjusts after the summer surge. This year, inventory levels are rising slightly, offering a better selection for buyers while still favoring sellers due to ongoing demand.
Median Home Price: $425,000 (up 4.7% YOY)
Average Days on Market: 31 days (slightly up from 27 days last month)
Inventory Levels: Increased by 8% compared to July
Prices are beginning to stabilize after a robust first half of the year. Investors should expect fewer bidding wars but still face competitive offers in hot neighborhoods like Frisco, Plano, and Arlington.
Inventory upticks are giving buyers more negotiating power. Investors can leverage this shift, especially with motivated sellers or listings sitting longer on the market.
The rental market continues to thrive, driven by population growth and steady job creation. Average rents are stable, with moderate increases in areas near employment hubs.
Value-Add Properties: Rising inventory means more properties with rehab potential hitting the market.
Pre-Foreclosure Activity: Slight upticks in foreclosure filings present timely opportunities for quick acquisitions.
Continued Demand for Rentals: Multifamily and single-family rentals remain profitable, especially close to employment centers and desirable school districts.
Expect a more balanced market into the fall, creating ideal conditions for strategic acquisitions. The DFW market remains attractive, resilient, and full of potential.
