DFW’s March Musts: New Finds + Market Buzz 🐝

​

Hi there!

What a whirlwind February was! January seemed to drag on forever and February seemed to fly by in a blink. We had an amazing family vacation skiing in Taos, NM. The boys love the snow and really have learned a lot skiing. I had the pleasure of volunteering for a wonderful event through the Waxahachie Junior Service League, “Night to Shine” for adults with disabilities as well as a prom pop up for students who may not be able to afford prom dresses.

Professionally, I held my first home buyer workshop of the year. We had a great turnout and the attendees learned a lot. I’m incredibly thankful to Joe Savala with CrossCountry Mortgage, Interspect Home Inspections, and WFG NationalTitle for attending this event and being experts in their field. If you missed the buyer workshop and are curious about the process, schedule a one on one call with me any time! Just reply to this email or shoot me a text/call at 903-926-0390. I am fortunate to be a top producer in Ellis County and was able to attend the event to receive my award. I’m beyond thankful for all of my clients who are the sole reason I am on this list! This month was also a busy one with four buyers getting the keys to their new homes and one seller passing the keys on to the next buyer. I had several buyers and one seller go under contract as well. March is gearing up to be another busy month!

Here’s what I’m Noticing in the Dallas-Fort Worth Market:

Things are continuing to shift toward a more balanced market, with inventory showing signs of stabilization after the increase observed in January. New listings in February were down 9.3% from January, totaling 12,311, but sold listings rose by 16% to 6,136, indicating strong demand despite the slower pace.

Homes are now averaging 50 days on the market, with no change from January, suggesting a steady absorption rate. The average sold price also climbed to $461K, up 2.44% from January, reflecting sustained buyer interest in higher-priced properties.

As we move into March 2025, early indications suggest this trend may continue or slightly accelerate, with spring typically bringing more activity. If you’re thinking about buying, now remains a good time because homes are taking longer to sell, giving buyers more leverage for negotiations, and sellers are increasingly motivated to make deals.

If you’re considering selling, the slower pace (50 days on market) and growing inventory mean location and timing are critical—spring could offer better results due to seasonal demand. However, I still have an incredible opportunity to list your home off-market in our Private Collection, accessible to 2,500 agents with Keller Williams around the DFW Metroplex. This approach keeps your home exclusive and avoids racking up days on the market.

Curious about your home’s value in this evolving market? Whether you’re thinking about selling soon or just want to know your home’s current worth, I’m offering a free, no-strings-attached home value estimate. Reach out to find out what your home could be worth in today’s market—no pressure, just the facts!
