As we head into the final stretch of 2025, the North Texas housing market is showing its trademark resilience. Our market continues to attract well-qualified buyers who value the stability, job growth, and energy that North Texas offers. What we’re seeing isn’t a slowdown so much as a recalibration—a return to more balanced conditions after years of extremes.

Across the country, inventory tells a two-tier story: 19 states have climbed back to 2019 levels, while 31 remain well below. DFW is in the middle ground—supply has improved, yet desirable neighborhoods still face tight inventory. Even so, price growth is tapering, and the seasonal slowdown has begun. Expect more sellers and agents to pull listings in the coming weeks, planning a strategic relaunch in early 2026 when buyer activity typically returns with new momentum.

And yes, the Fed continues to influence sentiment. After its second rate cut of the year in late October, Chairman Powell signaled that another cut in December is not guaranteed, nudging mortgage rates back up. Still, with Dallas’s strong job market, population growth, and enduring demand for quality homes, there’s good reason to remain optimistic. The fundamentals here are as solid as ever. We are very blessed to be in North Texas!

Bottom line: Dallas isn’t cooling—it’s catching its breath.

Wishing you a wonderful start to the holiday season.
