Denton County's available home inventory reached a new record high in June. The supply of homes for sale in this part of North Texas is up 670 percent from the Covid lows. Denton County reached 5 months of supply in June. That's a 43 percent increase from last year. Amid the new stagflationary market, closed sales rose 9.3 percent in June.

Stagflation Continues for North Texas Housing Market

Stagflation continues to be the theme for the North Texas housing market. Sales and contract activity remain sluggish as DFW home prices remain at inflated levels. Home sales across North Texas slid 5.5 percent year-over-year in May. Sales were down 3.5 percent in Denton County. Collin County managed a 1 percent increase. Median prices slid 4.8% and 4.9 percent respectively in Denton and Collin Counties. That reversion to the mean has been a consistent trend so far in 2025. Severely strained housing affordability levels continue to take a toll on contract activity. At the same [...]

Denton County Home Inventory Surges to Record High

Denton County home inventory has quietly surged to a record high. Across North Texas, the supply of available homes has never been higher. The much-maligned housing shortage is a thing of the past. All it took was a little time and normal mortgage interest rates. There are now over 5,000 homes available in Denton County. That supply is well above the previous high in June of 2019. Denton County now has 4.4 months of supply. That's a 66 percent rise from last year. It's also well above inventory levels we saw prior to the pandemic. [...]

Tariff Chaos Breeds Economic Uncertainty

Tariff chaos is breeeding economic uncertainty. That uncertainty is filtering into the housing market. While President Trump was busy talking up Liberation Day and his beautiful tariff plan, he forgot to tell you his plan involves liberating you from your 401K retirement account balance. A stock market correction was already in play before Trump's tariff plan hit the tape, but the announcement itself (or more accurately the insanity of the plan) really disappointed Wall Street. Instead of the reciprocal tariffs and a rebalancing of trade, the markets received one of the most inept and misguided [...]

Tariff Wars Hit the North Texas Housing Market

Tariff wars have filtered into the housing market in 2025. While many real estate industry participants were expecting a more friendly administration for business, so far we've experienced the complete opposite. Trump's sabre rattling and mercantilistic stance on foreign trade has upended the stock market and put a damper on the housing market. Not surprisingly, North Texas home sales remain stuck in the mud of volatility. Closed home sales across North Texas fell 5.8 percent year-over-year in February. Pending contracts decreased 6.9 percent. Denton County saw similar decreases in activity. Median and average home prices [...]

Denton County Real Estate Market Stagnation Continues

The stagnation continued for the Denton County real estate market in January. 2025 is not off to a great start. Home sales were up 3.8 percent from a year ago, but pending contracts were 7.8 percent lower compared to last year. Contract activity in the city of Denton fell 10 percent year-over year. Closed sales plummeted 23 percent. That was the lowest sales volume for the city since January of 2017. The combination of historically normal market interest rates combined with inflated home prices continues to be a toxic mix for the Denton County real [...]

Fed Policy Errors Slam North Texas Housing Market

The Fed Policy errors continue to slam the north Texas housing market. Home affordability remains near historic lows, and inflation is still percolating through the U.S. economy. This is despite two rate cuts from the Powell Fed in the second half of 2024. Mortgage interest rates are up nearly a full percentage point since the Fed's ill-advised 50-basis-point cut in September. The yield on the 10-year Treasury is up roughly 115 basis points. The December unemployment report made it clear inflation is still a thing. The U.S. economy is still humming along with inflated asset [...]

Denton County Housing Market Perks Up

Denton County's housing market perked up in November. Post-election enthusiasm and renewed animal spirits helped push home sales up 10 percent. Median home prices jumped 2.2 percent year-over-year in November. Average prices rose even more, but the disconnect in the market continued. Wealthy property owners continue to skew the overall picture of the North Texas housing market. Area land prices are still grossly inflated. The housing market isn't nearly as healthy as many agents would have you believe. The jump in sales activity is certainly welcome, but it would be foolish (spelled intellectually dishonest) to [...]

North TX Housing Affordability Gets Crushed

North Texas housing affordability got crushed in October. The temporary relief of lower mortgage rates was just that. Mortgage rates bounced significantly following the Federal Reserve's September rate cut. Real market rates for traditional U.S. mortgages remain near the 7 percent mark following the election. The combination of real mortgage rates and continued high prices has proven to be a major challenge for the North Texas housing market. As rates and expectations cooled into the September FOMC meeting, available home inventory was beginnig to shrink. Denton County home sales jumped 10 percent from the previous [...]
