April 2023 DFW Area Real Estate Stats

In April, active listings have increased across all counties compared to last year. However, the demand is outpacing supply, and we need more inventory to meet the growing needs of homebuyers. Excitingly, the average price is slightly down from last year across our area, offering potential savings for home seekers. Moreover, days on market have decreased since last month, signaling a strengthening market and a sense of urgency for those looking to buy or sell.

Our stats infographics include a year over year comparison and area highlights for single family homes broken down by county. We encourage you to share these infographics and video with your sphere.

For more stats information, pdfs and graphics of our stats including detailed information by county, visit the Resources section on our website at DFW Area Real Estate Statistics | Republic Title of Texas.
