While Austin recalibrates, Dallas is steadying — a market defined by employment strength, population inflow, and relative affordability.
With home values averaging around $375K–$400K, Dallas offers access to luxury, land, and lifestyle at prices that still draw national and international attention. The market has softened slightly, down roughly 2–5% year-over-year, but local demand remains durable thanks to corporate expansion and continued migration.
Unlike many cities wrestling with contraction, Dallas is seeing balanced conditions: a few more homes on the market, slightly longer days on market, and a return to realistic pricing. This is a sophisticated environment where presentation and positioning matter — not panic.
Buyers see opportunity in prime neighborhoods such as Preston Hollow, Highland Park, and the Urban Core (Victory Park, Uptown, Knox) — areas offering walkability, design, and architectural character that rival larger coastal markets.
For sellers, this is the time to be strategic. The luxury segment is active, but buyers are informed. Proper pricing, immaculate presentation, and lifestyle-driven marketing will separate results from regrets.
Dallas continues to be one of the strongest metros in the country for job growth and corporate relocations. That foundation supports real, sustainable value — not speculation. The story here isn’t volatility; it’s consistency.
📍If Austin built its reputation on momentum, Dallas builds on fundamentals.
