Current home values in Dallas

Since 2020, the median home value in the Dallas metro area has surged 45%. At the start of the decade, the typical home sold for $285,000, compared to $413,000 in June of this year, according to data from the MetroTex Association of Realtors.

“Now, our prices are still increasing at normalized levels, but they’re just very high for buyers that are especially sensitive to interest rates. So, higher interest rates coupled with increasing prices gives us some areas that are not very affordable,” said Elizabeth McCoy, an associated broker with Williams Trew Real Estate, in a recent article by NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth.

“When there are homes that are priced right, they’re in really great move-in condition; we are starting to see multiple offers come back on those properties.”

The table below illustrates just how high home prices have climbed in the Dallas metro area over the last five years:

Year Median home price Percent change year-over-year
2024 (June) $413,000 -0.5%
2023 (June) $415,000 -5%
2022 (June) $435,000 +20%
2021 (June) $350,000 +23%
2020 (June) $285,000 +3%

This trend isn’t isolated to Pegasus City; it reflects a broader pattern nationwide. According to the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller National Home Price Index, home prices in the United States have surged by 47% since the start of 2020.

As a result, many homeowners have seen significant gains in their equity, providing them with wealth to invest in new properties, save for retirement, fund home improvements, or pay off debts. Recent data from ICE’s Mortgage Monitor report reveals that, as of February 2024, the average mortgage-holding homeowner in the U.S. has accumulated $299,000 in equity.
