new-home sales update

New-home sales surged in May.

The pace of new-home sales increased in Dallas-Fort Worth for the fourth month straight in July, according to the latest report from HomesUSA.com.

Across the Metroplex, days on market fell to 138.6, down from 144 a month prior.

However, new-home sales decreased from 2,095 in June to 1,963 in July. Sales were also down annually, from 2,141 in July 2025.

“The modest improvement in days on market that began in early spring was not due to increased demand, rather to the decline of new listings that began last November,” HomesUSA CEO Ben Caballero said in a press release. “I expect to see one month, maybe two of lower days on market, at which time they will again begin their annual march to their early spring highs.”

Total active listings increased to 8,439 in July, up from 8,172 in June but down from 8,852 in July 2025.

The average new-home price was flat month over month at $468,902, but increased from $457,305 last July.

“The good news for consumers is that average prices have remained remarkably stable since October 2024, and for builders, new homes continue to sell close to asking price,” Caballero added.
