Dallas Home Sales Stats for January, 2024
We are off to a good start! Sales of single family homes in North Texas were up 14% in January and in the Dallas County portion, up 22% year over year. Median sales prices inched ahead as well, up 1%, breaking a several months-long losing streak. Dallas County saw a 6% gain in median sales prices. Townhome sales also lurched forward, up 10% versus year ago January in North Texas and 20% in Dallas County.
January closings are generated from December contracts for the most part, and it was in December when we experienced a slight reduction in mortgage interest rates to the mid-6% range. In December 2022, rates were still on the rise, depressing January 2023 sales activity. The combination of these two interest rate moves created the favorable year-over-year sales response we just witnessed. But we’ll take it and keep routing for more of the same.
