Is the Dallas Housing Market Slowing Down?
The Dallas housing market is doing great after recovering from the blows of the pandemic since July of the pandemic year (two years ago). Demand for single-family homes has risen and supply has lagged since the second half of 2020. According to Zillow, the typical home value for the Dallas-Fort Worth area rose by a whopping 27.1% in the past 12 months and their forecast is that it will rise by 4.2% by July 2023.
It shows that Dallas housing prices are likely to continue to rise even if there is a downturn in the current market. They may not climb as swiftly as they did in 2021, but they are expected to continue northward. For the seventh consecutive year, the number of Texas house sales and the median price reached all-time highs, according to the Texas REALTORS® review report for the last year. Housing demand reached an all-time high, and we witnessed numerous multiple-offer situations, including homes that drew dozens of offers and sold for significantly more than the asking price.
In 2021, the number of residences sold statewide climbed by 6.2 percent to 416,853 units. Housing inventory fell to 1.2 months at the end of the year, down 0.4 months from the end of 2020. According to the Texas Real Estate Research Center, a market that is balanced in terms of supply and demand has an inventory of between 6.0 and 6.5 months. The median home price reached $300,000, up 15.7% from the prior year.
In recent months, the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan region has witnessed a major increase in inventory. Recent statistics revealed a substantial increase in the number of real estate listings in the DFW region. In 2022 and 2023, this might make it easier for DFW buyers to locate and purchase a home. In June 2022, the Dallas-Fort Worth housing market had around 1.8 months of available houses.
Months inventory for single-unit residential housing rose from 1.1 to 1.8 months. The active listings for residential homes in the Dallas real estate market increased significantly. The number of active listings in the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington metropolitan region increased by 48.74% while new listings increased by 22.91%, according to the Texas Real Estate Research Center. Buyers looking to buy a home in the DFW region later this year might find solace in these statistics.
Although the current market is far from “normal” or balanced, let’s be upfront about that fact. In Dallas, it’s still a seller’s market because of the lack of inventory. Even so, buyers should find it a little less difficult in the future thanks to these new developments. Over the next several months, expect the pace of home price rise to decrease. Many big metro regions are already beginning to show signs of this.

Dallas Housing Market Report (DFW)
Home prices in North Texas and throughout the country have increased significantly in recent months as demand for housing has increased. Dallas’s real estate market is also following this trend. The Dallas-Fort Worth area has landed on a list of the country’s most overvalued housing markets. According to the study conducted by Florida Atlantic University, the DFW area ranked 19th for overheated housing, with homes selling for an average of 31.57 percent more than they were worth.
The updated list is similar to a survey put out by the schools in August in terms of which cities appear, but the premium has increased in many markets. And Atlanta has replaced Stockton, Calif., in the top 10. Dallas-Fort Worth, TX failed to make the Top 10 but has also shown a steep increase in how much premium buyers are paying — almost 43.8 percent more than they were worth.
Intense competition for houses across Texas led to another huge bump in sales prices. The DFW housing market remained strong in June 2022. The median sales price reached a record $435,000, up almost 21% from a year earlier. The Texas Real Estate Research Center provides monthly statistics on the DFW housing market for single-family homes. The Texas REALTORS® provided the data for this report.

Dallas County Housing Market Trends & Statistics – July 2022
In July 2022, active listings in the area were up 11.2% from a year earlier. At the end of July 2022, a dwindling supply of active listings has pulled Dallas’ months of inventory (MOI) down to 1.8 months, according to the latest data released by MetroTex, the largest REALTOR® association in North Texas.
The local agents are doing their best to look for the supply solutions necessary to keep this market healthy. The 1.8 months of inventory figure is 0.3 months more than the July of last year. The new construction in the last 10 years has not been anywhere near enough to handle the population growth in Dallas.
Home Sales Price: The Dallas median home price jumped by nearly 12.5% year-over-year to $360,000 in July 2022. Heightened competition for homes on the market has placed consistent pressure on home prices.

Homebuyers across the country are expressing an increased interest in suburban neighborhoods. Home prices in suburban areas are expected to rise faster in 2022 as a result of an increase in demand combined with a decrease in the number of available properties on the market.

Dallas Housing Market Forecast 2022 & 2023
As a result, what do you think the Dallas real estate market will look like in 2022 and 2023? Among the most affordable real estate markets in the state of Texas, Dallas is one of the most affordable. It is also one of the most active real estate markets in the country for renting out properties. Predictably, the Dallas real estate market was expected to outperform its national counterpart in terms of annual home value appreciation in 2020 before the Covid-19 pandemic struck the United States.
Single-family home starts in the Dallas-Fort Worth area increased by more than 30% in 2020, resulting in the highest volume of construction in more than a decade in the region. A Realtor.com report for the nation’s hottest metros also forecasts that DFW could see combined sales and price growth of 12.3 percent in 2022. Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington has been ranked #37 in the nation’s top housing markets for 2022. The sales are expected to grow by 8.3% while the median price is expected to rise by 4% in 2022.
Before this ongoing pandemic, Dallas was a balanced real estate market and it was doing pretty well. But the pandemic led to a boom. The median price of residential homes sold in Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington MSA rose by 18.56% in 2021. The YTD price was $345,000. It is $45,000 more than 2020’s median price. Months of inventory at the end of the year was 0.8, down from 1.1 months reported in 2020.
Total residential sales were slightly down by 0.22% in 2021. Almost 112,371 units were sold last year. Active listings were down -43.68% year-over-year, according to the statistics released by Texas Realtors. The housing supply is tightest at the lower end of the pricing spectrum. There are more house hunters and buyers on the more affordable end as compared to the higher end.
Let us look at the price trends recorded by Zillow over the past few years. Since the last decade (August 2012), the DFW metro area home values have appreciated by nearly 169% — Zillow Home Value Index. For your information, ZHVI is a seasonally adjusted measure of the typical home value and market changes across a given region and housing type. It reflects the typical value for homes in the 35th to 65th percentile range.
ZHVI represents the whole housing stock and not just the homes that list or sell in a given month. The typical home value of homes in the DFW metro is currently $397,905. It indicates that 50 percent of all housing stock in the area is worth more than $397,905 and 50 percent is worth less (adjusting for seasonal fluctuations). In July 2021, the typical value of homes in Dallas was around $313,000.
DFW home values have gone up 27.1% since last July. Dallas county has seen a similar price appreciation as home values have gone up 26.5% over the last twelve months. Here’s Zillow’s housing market forecast for Dallas and DFW MSA. The Zillow Home Value Forecast (ZHVF) is the one-year forecast of the Zillow Home Values Index (ZHVI). It is created using all homes, mid-tier cut of ZHVI and is available both raw and smoothed and seasonally adjusted.
Housing inventory remains low in many major cities across the nation, and Dallas is no exception to that. The supply and demand dynamics will likely push prices north again over the next 12 months. With low inventory and strong price growth, the DFW housing market will continue to be characterized by strong demand and low inventories in 2022 and 2023.
Inventory of homes priced less than $300,000 will be particularly low, which will have a negative impact on sales in that price range. Because listing activity appears to have reached a trough and is increasing, inventories should improve in the coming months, alleviating some of the price pressures. Because of the dramatic increase in home prices over the course of the year, it is likely that some families were priced out of the market altogether.
Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington Metro home values have gone up 27.1% over the past year.
The DFW housing market forecast ending with July 2033 is positive.
Zillow predicts that DFW home values may grow by 4.2% by July 2023.
If this forecast is correct, DFW home prices will be higher in the 2nd Quarter of 2023 than they were in the 2nd Quarter of 2022.

These numbers can be positive or negative depending on which side of the fence you are — Buyer or Seller? Dallas and the entire metro area market is so hot that it cannot shift to a complete buyer’s real estate market, for the long term. In a balanced real estate market, it would take about five to six months for the housing supply to dwindle to zero.
In terms of months of supply, Dallas can become a buyer’s real estate market if the supply increases to more than five months of inventory. And that’s not going to happen. Therefore, in the long term, the Dallas real estate market remains strong and skewed to sellers, due to a persistent imbalance in supply and demand. As of now, the month of supply is 1.8 months in Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington.
For sellers in Dallas, it is a great time to sell. Motivated buyers are looking for houses for sale, and you are not competing with as many property owners. Many sellers have chosen to back out amid this pandemic. Buyers in Dallas should act now and take advantage of scooping up their favorite deals which otherwise are taken away by seasoned investors in the bidding wars.
Dallas Real Estate Market: Is It A Good Place For Investment?
Is Dallas a Good Place For Real Estate Investment? Many real estate investors have questioned whether or not purchasing a property in Dallas is a wise financial decision.

The Dallas housing market offers excellent profit-generating opportunities for all types of real estate investors, from first-time buyers to seasoned professionals. In Dallas, large apartment buildings and single-family homes account for the vast majority of the city’s housing stock, with small apartment buildings accounting for the majority of the remaining properties. Renter-occupied and owner-occupied housing are found in equal amounts in Dallas.
Dallas is one of the cities in the United States where renting is more cost-effective than buying. A large part of the reason why Dallas has grown over the years has been the influx of young people who have settled in the city and are continuing to do so. They have preferred to start with rental properties rather than purchasing their own homes. In Dallas, the demand for rental units has increased by 14 percent in the last year, making now an excellent time to make a financial investment in the city’s housing market.

In January and February, Dallas-Fort Worth was the most active market in the country in terms of single-family construction starts. With 11,636 residential projects permitted, it ranked first in the nation for the combined number of single and multiple-family units being constructed, according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s Building Permits Survey.

Let’s take a look at the number of positive things going on in the Dallas real estate market which can help investors who are keen to buy an investment property in this city.
Dallas is a Growing Real Estate Market
One of the largest metropolitan areas in the USA, Dallas is currently the beating heart of the Texas housing market. Dallas’s population has grown at twice the national rate for years now and this pushes the prices of Dallas investment properties higher due to builders not being able to keep up. Dallas home prices have been on the rise in the last 10 years. In fact, over the last 6 years, 3-bedroom homes in Dallas have appreciated by 45%. During the same period, 3 bedroom home prices in Dallas appreciated by 41% nationwide.
Dallas’s housing prices have increased 29% over the last three years, even with these increases in home prices, they are still competitive for investment properties and you can expect further increases over the years. This shows us that home prices in Dallas are rising more quickly than in most other cities across the nation. If you want to buy an investment property in Dallas, don’t wait around, go ahead and do it.
A strong economy has buoyed home prices in Dallas beyond their fundamental levels for a sustained period, according to a report by Florida Atlantic University associate dean Ken Johnson. Home prices in Dallas are still appreciating but at a decreasing rate, suggesting that the current upward pattern in property appreciation is nearing an end. A bubble is not likely but a significant slowdown in-home price increases are most likely, according to James Gaines, chief economist with the Real Estate Center at Texas A&M University.
He said that things may slow down in Dallas, but it would take a major economic event to do that. The university study isn’t the first to warn of a home price correction in the Dallas area. But other reports by CoreLogic and Fitch Ratings have said North Texas home prices are overheated. And with the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, things have really slowed down, at least for the short period.
No State Capital Gains Tax
Texas has no state income tax, and many property owners are attracted to the state because no state capital gains tax on income from sales of property (Landowners still have to pay federal taxes on their gains under certain situations). This makes investing in Texas more lucrative for investors. Dallas house prices are also much lower than in other major cities.
The result is an attractive rental property market for domestic and international investors alike. According to the Texas Association of Realtors, around one-third of international investors come from Latin America, just ahead of those from Asia. European buyers make up around one in 10 buyers, while Indian buyers are also a notable presence in the Texas real estate market.
Dallas’ Strong Economy
You should think of investing in Dallas real estate because it has a very diverse economy so there is a niche for people of every income level. It is estimated that 340 people move to Dallas-Fort Worth every day. Dallas has the lowest homeownership rate in the country, with renting more affordable than buying.
Dallas is a job hub. In the past decade, new jobs have created a land rush that has made North Texas one of the fastest-growing areas in the country. In 2018, 102,500 jobs were created here, and about 130,000 people moved to town. It is home to a large number of corporate headquarters, the city is a significant financial hub in the South of the USA.
Dallas’s local economy is a mix of aerospace, computer chips, telecommunications, transport, energy, and healthcare sectors and the Finance and Business Services. These sectors are all providers of good wages which allows for a strong market for Dallas investment properties.
Additionally, since 2014, 15 major tech companies have moved to Dallas, Texas bringing advancement and job growth in industrial and professional areas. These factors contribute to the immense growth of the Dallas real estate market. Tourism is on the rise in Dallas, Texas which promotes job growth in towns and neighborhoods within the area.
Some of the common points of attraction are the AT&T Stadium, Reunion Tower, and Book Depository. Dallas is becoming a hub for start-ups and IT companies, leading to an increase in investment in the Dallas real estate market.
Strong Dallas Rental Market
Texas has some of the best colleges in the country. And with the instrumental position held by the University of Texas, Dallas, and Northwestern State University, all students and eventual graduates are going to be in the rental market at some point. According to RentCafe, the average rent for an apartment in Dallas is $1,250, a 4% increase compared to the previous year. 216,192 or 42% of the households in Dallas, TX are renter-occupied while 289,624 or 57% are owner-occupied.
More than 80% of the apartments can be rented for less than $1500. If you buy an investment property in Dallas, there are statistics that there is no shortage of people looking for a place to live here, which means there is no dearth of prospective tenants for your Dallas investment property. The annual vacancy rate of rental properties in Dallas is very low as compared to other cities which is another good reason for investing in the Dallas real estate market.
According to RentCafe, Dallas’s average rent reached $1,270 in April, after a 1.5% increase since last year. Dallas apartment prices are below the national average of $1,417. The average rent for an apartment in Dallas rose slower than in other surrounding cities, such as Arlington ($1,093), where prices went up by 3.9%. Meanwhile, apartment rates in Fort Worth increased by 5%, reaching a $1,196 average.
Flower Mound is the priciest city for renters in the Dallas–Fort Worth area, with apartments renting for $1,599 per month. Frisco and its $1,497 average price are the second most expensive, while Farmers Branch comes in third, with a $1,459 rate. For renters in search of budget-friendly apartments, Greenville’s $891 average rent is the cheapest in the Dallas area, followed by Balch Springs’s $934 rate. Lancaster rentals are the third least pricey on the list, with a $1,031 average rent as of April.
The Zumper Dallas Metro Area Report analyzed active listings across 14 metro cities to show the most and least expensive cities and cities with the fastest growing rents. The Texas one bedroom median rent was $1,139 last month. Frisco ranked as the most expensive city with one bedrooms priced at $1,670 while Arlington ranked as the most affordable city with one bedrooms priced at $1,080.
The best place to buy rental property is about finding growing markets. Cities like Richardson, Plano & Garland are good for investors looking to get started with rental property ownership at an affordable price. These trends provide a macro look at the growing rental demand. Each real estate market has its own unique supply-demand dynamics with unique neighborhoods that present their own opportunities for investors.
These cities look good for rental property investment this year as rents are growing over there.

For a majority of investors, buying or selling real estate is one of the most important decisions they will make. Choosing a real estate professional/counselor continues to be a vital part of this process. They are well-informed about critical factors that affect your specific market areas, such as changes in market conditions, market forecasts, consumer attitudes, best locations, timing, and interest rates.
Texas is a great market for real estate investing. If you have decided to invest in Dallas, you can either buy a fixer-upper or you may want to buy a Dallas investment property. This market offers a wide range of turnkey investment properties; you just have to find your tenants to rent out the property.
Good cash flow from Dallas investment property means the investment is, needless to say, profitable. On the other hand, a bad cash flow means you won’t have money on hand to repay your debt. Therefore, finding the best investment property in Dallas in a growing neighborhood would be key to your success.
When looking for real estate investment opportunities in Dallas or anywhere in the country, the generally accepted standard is to purchase a property that will give you a modest but minimum of 1% profit on your investment. An example would be: at $120,000 mortgage or investment cost, $1200 per month rental. That would be the ideal equation for example. Even with rent increases, buying a $500,000 investment property in Dallas is not going to get you $5000 per month on rent.
The three most important factors when buying real estate anywhere are location, location, and location. The location creates desirability. Desirability brings demand. There should be a natural and upcoming high demand for rental properties. Demand would raise the price of your Dallas investment property and you should be able to get a good return on your investment over the long term.
The neighborhoods in Dallas must be safe to live in and should have a low crime rate. The neighborhoods should be close to basic amenities, public services, schools, and shopping malls. A cheaper neighborhood in Dallas might not be the best place to live in. A cheaper neighborhood should be determined by these factors – Overall Cost Of Living, Rent To Income Ratio, and Median Home Value To Income Ratio.
It depends on how much you are looking to spend and if you are wanting smaller investment properties or larger deals in Class A neighborhoods. The inventory is low, but opportunities are there. Apart from Dallas, you can also invest in the housing market of Houston. Houston has a track record of being one of the best long-term real estate investments in the U.S. The Houston Real Estate Market forecast is good, and current housing prices are relatively low. The Houston metro area offers great opportunities for investors who are looking for a stable market that offers both cash flow and equity growth at a price that is STILL well below their replacement value.
The next one is the San Antonio real estate market. For those who want to invest in rental real estate, the San Antonio real estate market is an ideal location because of its outsized military presence. Fort Sam Houston is located inside the city limits. Lackland Air Force Base, Randolph Air Force Base, Camp Bullis, and Camp Stanley are located in the immediate vicinity. This means that there is a large population that will almost always rent because they don’t know where they’ll be sent on their next assignment.
San Antonio has a dearth of affordable housing because demand is so much greater than the supply. This has created a large number of renters who need to pay quite a bit to rent apartments or single-family homes. We know there is a lack of housing relative to demand when a balanced market has a 6 month home inventory and San Antonio has only a two-month inventory.
The El Paso real estate market is another hot market to invest in. El Paso real estate market was ranked 4th in Trulia’s hottest real estate markets to watch in 2018. El Paso’s strong job growth, affordability, low vacancy rates, and high population of young households were pivotal in the ranking process. The cost of living in El Paso is lower than the national average, while the cost of housing is well below that of other major metropolitan areas, including Houston and Austin.
The Central, Cielo Vista, and Mesa Hills areas offer more affordable rental properties for sale, while neighborhoods in the northwestern and eastern parts of the metro area have some of the more expensive housing inventory. The amount residents spend on everyday expenses, such as food and transportation, is slightly less than what the average American pays.
The Austin housing market is one hot place to invest in Texas. It isn’t the largest in the state of Texas, but there are several reasons to consider buying real estate in this city. The Austin real estate market has gained a lot of steam, with home values almost doubling since 2010. The Austin real estate market isn’t as big as Dallas, San Antonio, or Houston. One of the long-term strengths of Austin is its diverse economy. The Austin real estate market dipped after the layoffs of the Dot-Com boom. They decided to solve the problem by encouraging medical and biotech employers to relocate to the area, too. As of this writing, there are 85 biotech and pharmaceutical companies in Austin.
