As we step into 2024, Dallas-Fort Worth real estate is setting the stage for another high-growth year. With home prices rising, major commercial investments, and new luxury communities breaking ground, the Metroplex remains one of the top real estate markets in the country.
DFW Home Prices Hold Strong to Start the Year
Despite market fluctuations, North Texas home prices ended 2023 on a high note:
- Median home price: $390,000 (up 1.3% from last year)
- Total homes sold: 6,400 in December (down 6% from the previous year)
- Market outlook: Analysts expect DFW to be a hot residential market in 2024, with mortgage rates projected to continue dipping.
With consumer sentiment improving and buyers re-entering the market, DFW remains a prime spot for investment.
Dallas Leads the Nation in Commercial Real Estate Deals—Again
For the third consecutive year, Dallas ranked #1 for commercial real estate transactions, with nearly $19 billion in deals closed.

- Top sectors: Apartment sales, warehouse/logistical properties, and office space.
