April 2025 DFW Housing Market Update: Prices, Inventory & Buyer Trends
DFW Market Overview: More Balance, New Opportunities
April brought meaningful shifts to the North Texas housing market. Inventory levels are rising, prices are adjusting in some areas, and homes are sitting on the market a bit longer. While we're not in a full buyer's market, conditions have noticeably evened out compared to last spring.
If you're thinking of buying, you now have more options and negotiating power. If you're planning to sell, pricing strategically and listing while serious spring buyers are active will work in your favor.
How Did April Compare to March?
Before we dive into each county, here’s a quick snapshot showing how April’s numbers compare to March 2025:
This chart shows that list prices dipped in Collin and Denton, while Dallas and Tarrant held steady or rose slightly. Across the board, homes are taking longer to sell, and inventory is climbing gradually. Now let’s look closer at what this means in each market.
Collin County – Softer Prices, Balanced Competition
Average List Price: $480,000 (▼ down 3.9% YoY, ▼ down from $489,000 in March)
Median Price per Sq Ft: $206.14 (▼ 4.9% YoY)
Inventory: 4.1 months (▲ 1.3 YoY)
Average Days on Market: 53 days (▲ 13 YoY, ▲ +2 from March)
What’s Happening:
Collin County continues to soften slightly. This marks the second month of declining prices, while inventory holds steady at 4.1 months. The increase in days on market means buyers have more leverage than they did last spring.
For Buyers: You'll find more choices and better price flexibility.
For Sellers: Strategic pricing is key—well-staged homes priced right are still moving, but buyers are cautious.
Dallas County – Holding Strong with Mixed Signals
Average List Price: $385,000 (▲ up 1.3% YoY, ▲ up from $380,000 in March)
Median Price per Sq Ft: $208.83 (▼ 2.3% YoY)
Inventory: 4.4 months (▲ 1.4 YoY)
Average Days on Market: 49 days (▲ 8 YoY, ▲ +1 from March)
What’s Happening:
Dallas County saw a slight increase in list prices month over month, though price per square foot continues to trend down. Homes are spending longer on the market, but sellers are still achieving solid price points—especially in desirable neighborhoods.
For Buyers: This county is still competitive, but slowing momentum gives you room to negotiate.
For Sellers: Listings priced realistically are performing well. Consider listing now before summer brings more inventory.
Denton County – Subtle Slowdown with More Inventory
Average List Price: $465,000 (▼ down 2.1% YoY, ▼ down from $472,000 in March)
Median Price per Sq Ft: $209.12 (▼ 2.1% YoY)
Inventory: 4.1 months (▲ 1.5 YoY)
Average Days on Market: 51 days (▲ 6 YoY, ▲ +3 from March)
What’s Happening:
Denton County continues to cool slightly. This is the second month of softening list prices, with increased inventory and longer market times. Buyers are taking their time, and sellers must adjust expectations accordingly.
For Buyers: There's less urgency, and more properties to choose from.
For Sellers: Be prepared for longer timelines, and lean on a professional marketing strategy to stand out.
Tarrant County – Steady Prices, Slower Sales
Average List Price: $354,000 (▲ up 1.1% YoY, ▲ up from $350,000 in March)
Median Price per Sq Ft: $185.82 (▼ 1.4% YoY)
Inventory: 3.5 months (▲ 0.8 YoY)
Average Days on Market: 51 days (▲ 6 YoY, ▲ +1 from March)
What’s Happening:
Tarrant County remains relatively stable. While prices are holding firm, longer days on market suggest that buyers are becoming more selective. Inventory is increasing gradually but remains the lowest among the four counties.
For Buyers: Still a solid time to shop, especially if you’re looking in more affordable price ranges.
For Sellers: Homes are moving with the right prep and pricing, but overpricing will stall interest.
Final Thoughts: Is It Time to Make a Move?
Whether you’re buying or selling, April’s data shows a more balanced market emerging across DFW. Buyers have more time and selection, while sellers still benefit from strong spring demand—as long as expectations are set realistically.
Sellers: Listing in late spring can still work in your favor—before inventory swells further this summer.
Buyers: This could be your ideal window to act.
