Dallas Home Prices: Will They Rise or Fall in 2025? [Expert Forecasts]

By Steven – Managing Partner at Refind Realty

One of the top questions I’m hearing right now is: “What’s going to happen with home prices in Dallas in 2025?” Whether you’re thinking of buying, selling, or investing, having a solid idea of where the market is headed can give you a huge advantage. As someone who works closely with Dallas buyers and sellers every day, I’ve pulled together insights from economists, real estate analysts, and boots-on-the-ground trends to help you get clarity.

Current Market Snapshot

In 2024, the Dallas market has shown resilience. Home prices have stabilized after rapid gains in recent years. Inventory has increased slightly, but demand remains strong due to ongoing job growth, new construction, and population increases.

What Experts Are Saying About 2025

• Zillow Forecast: Predicts modest appreciation, around 3–5%, driven by steady demand and tight housing supply.

• Texas A&M Real Estate Center: Notes that high interest rates may moderate price growth but are unlikely to cause a price drop.

• Local Appraisers: Suggest values will hold or rise slowly, especially in sought-after suburbs and revitalized urban neighborhoods.

Why Prices Are Likely to Rise Modestly

1. Job Market Strength: Dallas continues to attract major employers in tech, finance, and healthcare.

2. Population Growth: People are still relocating to Dallas from higher-cost cities.

3. Limited Supply: New construction can’t keep up with demand, especially for entry-level homes.

When Could Prices Drop?

Prices might soften slightly in areas that saw sharp increases during the pandemic or where new inventory floods the market. However, experts are not forecasting a crash or major drop in 2025.

What This Means for Buyers

Waiting could mean paying more later. If interest rates drop slightly, buyer competition could heat up again. Now may be the sweet spot before more price pressure returns.

What This Means for Sellers

You’re likely to retain equity, and pricing competitively will be key. Staging, marketing, and working with the right agent can help your home stand out.
