May brought a flurry of activity to the Dallas-Fort Worth market as new-home sales surged to 2,122, up from 1,947 the month prior, according to the latest data from HomesUSA.com.

At 148 days, the time homes spent on the market remained flat month-over-month and increased slightly from 143 yearoveryear.

Average new-home prices dipped slightly to $460,012 in May, compared to $466,362 in April and $470,046 a year ago.

Pending sales grew slightly year-over-year to 2,703 while seeing little change month-over-month.

Meanwhile, active listings hit 8,051, marking a slight decline from 8,099 in April and greater year-over-year dip from 8,288 in May 2025.

“Dallas builders are seeing homes sell at the same pace as they did in April, which is good news,” HomesUSA.com CEO Ben Caballero said in a press release. “But higher inventory, stubborn mortgage rates and mixed year-over-year comparisons show this spring market still requires patience, pricing discipline and close attention to buyer demand.”

He added, “May sales could be the highest for the year if interest rates remain at the current level or higher.”
