What Does the DFW Housing Market Look Like?



Today, I’m covering a market update for the Dallas-Fort Worth area during the first quarter of 2016.

Right now, the median sale price rests around $207,000. This is the exact middle. If you took all the properties, you’d look at the one priced exactly in the middle. That’s up by 9.8% from about  a year ago. The price per square foot is also up by 8.6%. It’s $101 per square foot.

How long does it take for a property to sell in our booming marketplace? On average, it takes around 20 days to sell in our MLS. From a year ago, that’s a 14.3% decrease. Remember that all of these statistics vary based on different circumstances, as well as specific neighborhoods. We’re giving you the overall health.


If you’re a seller, and your home has been listed for over 20 days, there’s a good reason why it isn’t selling. It’s probably overpriced. It’s nearly impossible to underprice your home in today’s market. You have to pay attention to strategic pricing.

Sales are up by 7.3% compared to 2015. Over the last year, 106,258 homes were sold. The key reason for all this activity is based on inventory. How many active listings are there compared to how many homes are selling per month? We only have 2.8 months of inventory currently! That’s down by 15.2%. That means it’s still a spectacular time to sell.

What Does it Take to Be a Successful Real Estate Agent in Dallas?




How did I get into real estate? Today I’m going to give you the full story, from my start up until now. I’m a firm believer that if you are dedicated to the business, have a good work ethic, and really care about helping people, real estate could be a rewarding and fulfilling career move for you.

My story begins in 2007. I had a friend who was working as an agent and one day he told me he thought I’d be a great agent with some practice. I was pretty young and naive at the time, but decided the time was right to take the plunge because what did I have to lose? Little did I know, the housing market would soon come to a screeching halt after the collapse of the financial market. I got my real estate license after the fact and began my career in 2008.


In 2008, my first full year, 40% of buyers dropped out of the market overnight. I sold 7 or 8 houses that year and 12 homes the next. In November 2009, I sold 5 homes right before Thanksgiving and decided I deserved the rest of the year off. This was a big mistake. It ended up being another 6 months before I sold another home. We were in a severe buyer’s market and I was getting frustrated. I thought, “There has got to be a better way to do this.”

This was when I made a decision that completely turned my business around. I dedicated myself to learning the business, networking with top agents, and hiring a coach to guide me in growing my business. In the second half of 2010, I sold 19 homes and have been selling 40+ homes a year ever since. It’s not because I’m the smartest guy around or the luckiest, it’s because I am a student of the business and I have a plan.

If you or someone you know is thinking about getting into the business, I can teach you how to grow a successful career in real estate. Just give me a call or send me an email, and I’ll be in touch!
