Farmersville's February 2026 data requires exceptional context — February 2025 recorded zero transactions, making all year-over-year comparisons statistically meaningless. What February 2026 does confirm is that 12 homes closed, all brand-new construction with a median year built of 2026 and a median price of $295,426. With 50 active listings and 6.9 months of inventory, buyers have time and selection in this actively developing Collin County community. The close-to-list ratio of 95.3% reflects typical new-construction builder pricing discipline. This report covers Farmersville housing market conditions for February 2026 based on NTREIS MLS data.
Mesquite's February 2026 housing market delivers a standout statistic buried beneath softer headline numbers — a close-to-list ratio of 97.9%, the highest among all full-market communities in this month's report. Despite a 16.0% drop in closed sales to 84 transactions and a 16.9% increase in active listings to 498, sellers here are holding almost all of their asking price. The median sale price of $260,500 declined 10.5% — a mix-shift result, with the $200–$299k range dominating at 43.8% of closings. At 4.4 months of inventory, Mesquite sits in balanced territory with strong underlying pricing discipline. This report covers Mesquite housing market conditions for February 2026 based on NTREIS MLS data.
Forney's February 2026 housing market shows a community absorbing its rapid growth phase with mixed signals — closed sales fell 31.3% to 44 transactions and months of inventory rose to 4.9, yet days on market improved 19 days to 96 and the pace to close also quickened. The median sale price of $274,990 declined 26.8%, heavily influenced by a closing mix concentrated in the $200–$299k range. At 4.9 months of supply and a 92.6% close-to-list ratio, buyers hold meaningful leverage here — particularly relative to new construction alternatives. This report covers Forney housing market conditions for February 2026 based on NTREIS MLS data
Waterview — the master-planned lakefront neighborhood within Rowlett — recorded 4 closed sales in February 2026 and a headline median price of $411,000, down a dramatic-looking 41.0% year over year. That figure is entirely a small-sample artifact; the 97.8% close-to-list ratio tells the real story — the highest reading in this month's entire report. Homes averaged just 30 days on market, down 17 days from last February, and active listings fell 30.4% to 16. The neighborhood's supply-demand balance tightened substantially year over year. This report covers Waterview housing market conditions for February 2026 based on NTREIS MLS data.
Farmers Branch's February 2026 data contains more encouragement than its headline figures suggest. While the median price of $400,000 declined 20.4% year over year — a small-sample composition result — the pace metrics told a different story: days on market fell 5 days to 79, days to close improved 10 days to 23, and total transaction time dropped 15 days to 102. Active listings fell 10.0% to 90 and months of inventory tightened to 3.4. The close-to-list ratio of 91.6% reflects a market where buyers have real negotiating leverage — particularly relevant in a community with a median year built of 1981. This report covers Farmers Branch housing market conditions for February 2026 based on NTREIS MLS data.
Lavon's February 2026 data requires careful context before the numbers tell a meaningful story. The 28.0% median price decline — landing at $324,000 — reflects a single dramatic fact: all 7 of February's closings occurred in the $300–$399k price range, with no higher-priced transactions to lift the median. Active listings fell 27.1% to 43, months of inventory held flat at 3.1, and days on market improved 12 days year over year to 102. The close-to-list ratio of 94.0% confirms buyers and sellers are finding agreement at realistic prices. This report covers Lavon housing market conditions for February 2026 based on NTREIS MLS data.
Carrollton's February 2026 housing market shows stable fundamentals beneath a softening headline median. The price per square foot held essentially flat at $210.98 (+0.7% YoY) even as the median price fell 6.4% to $400,000 — a composition story, not a value signal. With 95 closed sales, 260 active listings, and just 2.6 months of inventory, Carrollton remains supply-constrained relative to most DFW peers. Homes closed at 95.1% of original list price. This report covers Carrollton housing market conditions for February 2026 based on NTREIS MLS data.
Sunnyvale's February 2026 data contains some of the more encouraging signals in this month's report — price per square foot rose 9.5% to $222.89, active listings fell 25.6% to just 29, months of inventory tightened 2.5 months to 3.4, and homes averaged 79 days on market — down a dramatic 41 days from February 2025. With 10 closed sales, small-sample caveats apply throughout, but the directional story is consistent: supply tightened, pace improved, and per-unit value strengthened. The median sale price of $829,928 was up 5.1% year over year. This report covers Sunnyvale housing market conditions for February 2026 based on NTREIS MLS data.
Josephine's February 2026 data reflects a small but growing Collin County community working through an inventory surplus — 31 active listings against 5 monthly closings produces 7.0 months of supply, firmly in buyer-market territory. The median sale price of $273,000 edged up 4.9% year over year, though with only 5 transactions, that figure carries significant mix-shift variability. Homes averaged 103 days on market, and the close-to-list ratio of 90.8% confirms buyers have meaningful negotiating leverage here. This report covers Josephine housing market conditions for February 2026 based on NTREIS MLS data.
Plano TX housing market update — monthly home prices, inventory trends, and market conditions from NTREIS MLS data
Parker's February 2026 data reflects the operating reality of one of Collin County's most exclusive acreage communities — 3 closed sales, 15 active listings, and a median price near $876,000. With only 3 transactions in the month, no percentage change carries statistical meaning, and the 18.7% median decline is entirely a reflection of which specific homes closed rather than any community-wide value shift. What the data does confirm: inventory tightened year over year, the close-to-list ratio held at 96.3%, and homes that attracted offers moved in just 18 days on market. This report covers Parker housing market conditions for February 2026 based on NTREIS MLS data
Fairview's February 2026 data contains one of the more encouraging narratives in this month's report — closed sales actually increased 37.5% year over year to 11 transactions, price per square foot rose 7.7% to $265.29, and the close-to-list ratio held at 96.4%. The headline median of $485,000 declined 18.4% from a year ago, but the price-per-square-foot increase tells the more accurate story: smaller homes dominated the February closing mix, pulling the median down while per-unit value held up. Active listings nearly doubled to 46, giving buyers more selection than they've had in years. This report covers Fairview housing market conditions for February 2026 based on NTREIS MLS data.
Lucas's February 2026 housing market produced 5 closed sales — a typical volume for this semi-rural Collin County community where monthly transactions rarely exceed single digits. With a median home size of 4,151 square feet and all closings concentrated in the $750k+ range, Lucas operates at its own pace and by its own rules. The close-to-list ratio of 91.0% is historically consistent with the community's negotiated transaction environment, and 35 active listings represents a modest year-over-year increase. As with all small-volume markets, multi-month trends tell a more accurate story than any single month's data. This report covers Lucas housing market conditions for February 2026 based on NTREIS MLS data.
Allen's February 2026 housing market held its supply advantage over most DFW suburbs — 2.4 months of inventory, flat year over year, while comparable communities saw supply climb significantly. The median sale price came in at $437,000, down 16.4% from February 2025, but price per square foot held essentially flat at $215.52 — a clear mix-shift signal rather than a value decline. With 71 closed sales and a 94.3% close-to-list ratio, Allen's demand remains structurally sound. This report covers Allen housing market conditions for February 2026, including closed sales, active listings, days on market, price per square foot, and buyer and seller guidance based on NTREIS MLS data.
Murphy's February 2026 data reflects a community in transition — active listings jumped 34.4% year over year to 43, months of inventory rose to 3.4, and homes averaged 57 days on market, up 24 days from last February. With only 8 closed sales in the month, the headline median of $579,000 and volume drop of 50% carry significant mix-shift caveats. The close-to-list ratio of 94.1% confirms that sellers are still transacting reasonably close to asking price, even as buyer leverage grows. This report covers Murphy housing market conditions for February 2026, including closed sales, active listings, days on market, price per square foot, and buyer and seller guidance based on NTREIS MLS data.
Wylie's March 2026 numbers present one of the more contradictory pictures in this month's data — a median sale price of $477,000, up 19.2% year over year, alongside a 36.4% drop in closed sales and homes sitting 114 days on market before going under contract. The median increase reflects which homes sold this month rather than broad appreciation; price per square foot fell 10.1% to $182.74. The standout figure is the close-to-list ratio of 95.3% — the strongest among all markets covered in this report — confirming that sellers who stay patient and price correctly are ultimately getting very close to asking price. This report covers Wylie housing market conditions for March 2026 based on NTREIS MLS data.
Sachse's February 2026 housing market recorded 13 closed sales — down 13.3% year over year — with a median sale price of $422,000 that reflects mix-shift dynamics more than broad value movement. The most notable change this month is pace: homes averaged 80 days on market, up 34 days from February 2025, signaling that buyers are taking considerably longer to commit. Active listings actually declined 8.5% to 75, and the close-to-list ratio of 92.8% confirms that negotiation is part of the current transaction dynamic. At 3.6 months of inventory, Sachse sits in balanced territory. This report covers Sachse housing market conditions for February 2026 based on NTREIS MLS data.
Garland's March 2026 housing market delivered a notable drop in closed sales — 82 transactions, down 27.4% from February 2025 — while inventory held nearly flat at 543 active listings. The median sale price came in at $300,000, down 9.0% year over year, a figure influenced by the concentration of closings in the $200–$299k range. Homes averaged just 58 days on market, down 4 days from last year, suggesting well-priced properties are still moving efficiently despite the slower overall pace. At 3.7 months of inventory and a 93.1% close-to-list ratio, Garland is operating in balanced territory. This report covers Garland housing market conditions for March 2026 based on NTREIS MLS data.
Caddo Mills recorded 4 closed sales in March 2026 — a month where the data tells us more about which homes happened to transact than about any meaningful shift in community values. With no comparable sales recorded in February 2025, year-over-year comparisons carry little statistical weight. What the data does confirm: inventory is tight at just 19 active listings and 2.0 months of supply, the median price hovered near $305,000, and homes are closing at 89.5% of original list price. Caddo Mills continues to offer one of the best value-per-square-foot propositions in the Hunt County corridor. This report covers Caddo Mills housing market conditions for March 2026 based on NTREIS MLS data.
McLendon-Chisholm's March 2026 data requires careful reading — with only 4 closed sales in the month, every percentage change reflects which specific homes transacted rather than a broad shift in community values. The median sale price of $782,151 carries a significant mix-shift caveat, while price per square foot at $207.98 — up 2.4% year over year — offers a more stable signal. Inventory tightened slightly to 35 active listings and 6.1 months of supply, and days on market improved by 68 days year over year. The close-to-list ratio of 83.9% reflects the negotiating realities of a luxury semi-rural market. This report covers McLendon-Chisholm housing market conditions for March 2026 based on NTREIS MLS data.
Royse City's March 2026 housing market reflects a community that grew rapidly and is now finding its footing at a more measured pace. The median sale price came in at $269,000 — a figure influenced heavily by the mix of 18 transactions that closed this month rather than a broad decline in property values. Transaction volume held flat year over year, and days on market actually improved by 10 days, suggesting buyers who engage are moving to contract faster than they were a year ago. With 5.9 months of inventory and a close-to-list ratio of 92.7%, the market leans slightly toward buyers — but motivated sellers are still transacting. This report covers Royse City housing market conditions for March 2026, including closed sales, active listings, days on market, price per square foot, and buyer and seller guidance based on NTREIS MLS data.

Heath's March 2026 housing market data requires careful reading — and the headline -28.5% median price decline is the first number that demands context. With only 17 closed sales, Heath's monthly statistics are highly sensitive to which specific homes transacted, and a shift in the mix toward mid-range closings can move the median by hundreds of thousands of dollars without reflecting any true change in property values. What the data does confirm is that Heath is operating in buyer-market territory: 7.7 months of inventory, 139 active listings, and a close-to-list ratio of 88.1% give buyers meaningful leverage in this lakefront luxury community. This report covers Heath housing market conditions for March 2026, including closed sales, active listings, days on market, price per square foot, and buyer and seller guidance based on NTREIS MLS data.
Rowlett's March 2026 numbers tell a more nuanced story than the headline median price decline suggests. While the median came in at $375,000 — down 3.9% from a year ago — active listings actually fell 4.1% year over year to 256, and months of inventory ticked down to 3.9. Closed sales rose 10.4%, and homes are closing at 94.8% of original list price, one of the stronger close-to-list ratios in the region. Rowlett is holding together with more resilience than many comparable DFW suburbs right now. This report covers Rowlett housing market conditions for March 2026, including closed sales, active listings, days on market, price per square foot, and buyer and seller guidance based on NTREIS MLS data.
Rockwall's March 2026 housing market delivered one of the more encouraging data points in the region — closed sales jumped 20% year over year to 66 transactions, while the median sale price held essentially flat at $490,154. Active listings grew to 352, pushing months of inventory to 4.8, and homes are now closing at 91.2% of original list price — a meaningful shift from the near-full-price environment of 2023 and early 2024. The market is balanced, but buyers have recovered real negotiating room. This report covers Rockwall housing market conditions for March 2026, including closed sales, active listings, days on market, price per square foot, and buyer and seller guidance based on NTREIS MLS data.
Dallas entered March 2026 with more inventory than it's seen in years — 3,816 active listings, up 10.3% year over year — and a buyer pool that's finally gaining the negotiating room it hasn't had since before the pandemic. The median sale price came in at $410,000, a modest 1.2% dip from February 2025, with homes closing at 93.8% of original list price. At 4.7 months of supply, the market is operating in balanced territory: sellers who price accurately are still transacting, but the days of automatic above-list offers are largely behind us. This report covers Dallas housing market conditions for March 2026, including closed sales, active listings, days on market, price per square foot, and buyer and seller guidance based on NTREIS MLS data.

How Waterview Amenities Influence Home Pricing In Rowlett

Waterview consistently trades above the Rowlett median — but the premium isn't the same for every home in the neighborhood.

Here's what the data and years of working in Waterview actually show.

Why January May Be the Best Time to Buy a Home in North Texas

Spring gets all the attention, but the data tells a different story.

Here's why the off-season window is worth taking seriously.

Tell the Lifestyle Story: Marketing Waterview’s Amenities

Here's how to tell the lifestyle story that actually moves buyers in this neighborhood.
