According to a new report from RE/MAX, the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex ranked No. 1 in the country for closed home sales last month.
In March 2025, DFW recorded nearly 7,770 closed home sales, a 0.4% dip from the same period last year, but still the highest absolute number of closures nationwide. Dallas-Fort Worth beat out other major markets, like Houston, New York, and Chicago.
Nationwide, sales were up 23.0% between February and March of this year, the largest month-over-month increase since March 2023. However, sales were still down 1.4% when compared to March 2024.
Despite DFW leading the nation in closed home sales, North Texas’s active housing inventory is still up 44.7% year-over-year. Nationwide, active housing inventory is up 35.5% during the same period.
Average days on the market have risen, too. In March 2025, homes in DFW were listed for an average of 60 days, 10 days longer than the average witnessed one year prior.
Compared to March 2024, the median home price in DFW was flat at $395,000. For context, that is just over 9% less than the national average of $435,000.
“As we enter the prime homebuying season, the uptick in sales and inventory may lead to even more positive market activity… With a relatively good supply of homes for sale, and rates holding with signs of some improvement, many buyers are finding current market conditions to be the most favorable they’ve seen in the past few years,” said RE/MAX Holdings CEO Erik Carlson in the report.
Even still, Todd Luong of RE/MAX DFW Associates says many of his younger clients continue to face affordability challenges, despite housing prices remaining static over the past 12 months.
“However, rising home insurance costs, persistently high interest rates and high property taxes are making things difficult for some of my buyers, especially first-time homebuyers who are wary of purchasing a home that could strain their finances,” said Luong, per WFAA.
