Closed home sales increased 6.5% year over year in Dallas-Fort Worth in June, according to the latest Housing Report from the MetroTex Association of REALTORS®.

The annual and monthly declines of 0.3% and 5.4%, respectively, do not fully capture the geographic variability of market performance. 

“The region’s housing market is looking great this year,” President Shawn Buck said in a press release.

The median sales price of a home hit an all-time high of $440,600. 

Looking ahead, Cotality expects home prices to rise 4.8% between May 2026 and May 2027. 

Nationally, the median list price slipped 2.4%, marking the eighth month in a row of declines. 

The uptick was driven by a slight dip in mortgage rates. 

S&P Dow Jones Indices noted that inflation outpaced national home-price appreciation for the 11th month in a row. 

The increase was driven by refinancing activity as purchase applications dipped.

Existing-home sales and the median home price are forecast to rise 4% this year, according to the National Association of REALTORS® Chief Economist Lawrence Yun. 

Starter homes now cost $1 million or more in a record 242 cities, up from just 80 in 2020, according to a Zillow analysis.

Among most of the counties encompassing the Fort Worth area, active listings decreased as home sales increased, with prices experiencing a slight annual decline.

The 3.8% month-over-month gain was almost four times what industry observers were expecting.
