The DFW housing market in September 2026: the average North Texas seller closed at 93.9% of their original asking price, about 6% under where they started. Most of that traces back to starting too high.
In this clip from Market Update 196, Mike Mills walks through the MetroTex September numbers, why the median price went down while the average went up, why pending sales dropping 19% probably means the slowdown isn't done, and what agents can tell buyers and sellers right now. Plus how to pull these numbers yourself and have AI tell you what changed.
