The communities of Northeast Dallas, Colleyville, and Grapevine have also seen double-digit drops in home sales this year, even as new jobs continue to pour into the surrounding North Texas region.

Although home prices continue to increase and home sales are starting to cool throughout DFW, one segment of the market still seems to be thriving heading into the fourth and final quarter of 2018. 

According to a new report from the Dallas Morning News, million dollar home sales in North Texas have increased by 9 percent compared to the first 8 months of 2017, recording 1,262 million-dollar home sales in all through August.  

For comparison, overall preowned home sales in the North Texas region are up just 1 percent over that same timeframe.

Third quarter numbers are in and DFW was the only major market in Texas that saw a drop in home sales. Despite the year-over-year decline, however, Dallas-Fort Worth still had the largest number of pre-owned property sales in Texas, tallying 27,660 for the quarter. 

Continuing a familiar trend, median home sales prices increased again in the third quarter, this time jumping by 3.9 percent to $265,034. 

The good news for buyers, though, is that the rate at which prices are increasing seems to be slowing, and more options are also becoming available for buyers to consider, which should help level home prices even further.

Dallas-Fort Worth had the largest increase in inventory of any of the major metros in the Lone Star State during the third

The DFW area saw one of the biggest jumps in listing inventory last month year-over-year, according to new data from realtor.com.

In what’s surely welcoming news for Dallas-Fort Worth home buyers, the local housing market ranked eighth among the 10 major U.S markets with the biggest jump in home listings during the month of September, registering a 14 percent spike.
