East Dallas Market Report.

September brought a bigger market to East Dallas. New listings jumped 14.8% to 194 properties, and total list volume climbed 20% to $208.28 million. The median list price rose 23.4% to $789,499, but the mix behind it matters: median living area came in at 2,206 square feet while median price per square foot moved up 7.3% to $367. More of what hit the market was larger homes, not simply higher prices on the same product.

Pending activity held steady. Seventy-five properties entered pending, down 1.3% from August, with a median list price of $799,000. At month end, 72 properties sat under contract, down 6.5%, representing $74.84 million in volume.

Closed sales stayed on the mark. The median sold price came in at $740,500, up 2% from August, and closed sales averaged 97.7% of list price. Homes took a little longer to sell, with median days on market at 27, up 12.9%. One honest note: East Dallas sold records carry limited public price detail because Texas is a non-disclosure state, so this report leans on the median sold price from market trend data rather than a full count of closed sales.

Inventory is the real story. Months of supply rose 6.6% from August to 5.17, and it sits 3% above where it stood a year ago. The report still classifies East Dallas as a seller's market, but the cushion is growing. Buyers have more to choose from and more room to negotiate. Sellers, price on the evidence rather than the peak, and the numbers still work in your direction.
