Market Conditions- March 2025

What’s the Real Estate Market Doing? A Look at DFW in March 2025

If you’ve been watching the housing market and wondering what’s really going on—don’t worry, you’re not alone. Things are always shifting, and staying in the know helps you make smart moves whether you’re buying, selling, or just keeping an eye on the future.

So let’s break down what happened in March 2025 in the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington area—and what it might mean for you.

Median Price? Holding Steady

The median home price came in at $395,528, which is up just 0.1% from March 2024. That tells us prices are pretty stable—not skyrocketing, not tanking. It’s a healthy market with steady demand.

Inventory is Up—Way Up

Active listings jumped by 36.1%, with nearly 30,000 homes on the market. That’s great news for buyers! More inventory means more options and potentially less competition. Sellers may need to price strategically to stand out—but homes are still moving.

Homes Are Taking a Little Longer to Sell

The average time on the market is now 96 days total (65 to get under contract and another 31 to close), which is 12 days longer than this time last year. This doesn’t mean homes aren’t selling—it just means buyers are being a bit more thoughtful, which is common when interest rates are higher.

Closed Sales Are Up

Despite those higher rates, closed sales increased by 0.7%, with 7,884 homes sold in March. That means people are still buying—because life doesn’t pause for market conditions. If it’s time to move, people make it happen.

A Balanced Market Is Taking Shape

With 3.9 months of inventory, we’re getting closer to a balanced market (typically considered 5–6 months). That means we’re shifting away from the wild seller’s market we saw in recent years and heading toward more fair ground for both buyers and sellers.

What Does All This Mean for You?

• Buyers: You’ve got more options now, and even though interest rates are a bit higher, prices are steady and competition is easing. That’s a solid combo.
• Sellers: Homes are still selling, but strategy matters more than ever. Pricing right and marketing well (that’s where I come in!) are key to standing out.
• Investors: This is a great time to watch the market, explore rental property opportunities, and work with someone who knows the trends.
