WHAT’S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW IN YOUR BACKYARD
This isn’t just about numbers—it’s about understanding what these market shifts mean for the people calling Flower Mound home.
The Current Snapshot
Flower Mound home values are holding steady, with the market showing remarkable resilience in what many predicted (and describe) as a challenging year. With just 17 median days on market, homes are still moving quickly when priced correctly.
The Shift Smart Sellers Are Noticing
We’re seeing 18% more homes available compared to last year, and buyers finally have 36 days to breathe instead of making split-second decisions. This isn’t a crash—it’s a correction.
What this means for you: If you’ve been waiting to sell because you thought you missed the peak, this balanced market could work in your favor. Serious buyers can now take time to fall in love with your home instead of rushing to contract. Yes, more inventory gives buyers options and prices have leveled off. But in a region where people are still moving in daily, “leveled off” for Flower Mound means stability, not decline.
Here’s what the experts won’t tell you: Dallas-Fort Worth is predicted to remain a hot real estate market in 2025, driven by continued demographic growth. Interest rates are stabilizing (and hopefully dropping), and DFW’s strong job market and affordability compared to other areas continues to attract newcomers.
Having guided families through every type of market—from bidding wars to buyers’ markets—here’s what I’m witnessing firsthand:
For Sellers:
The frantic “any offer will do” mentality is over. Buyers are back to caring about:
- True move-in readiness
- Homes that feel like homes, not just square footage
- Neighborhoods that check all the boxes
For Buyers:
You’re not missing out anymore. Smart buyers are taking time to find homes that truly fit their lives. You can negotiate again. You can ask for inspections without losing the deal. You can breathe. The time to go shopping is now!
For Families Wondering “Should We Stay or Go?”:
Interest rates aren’t going back to 2020 levels anytime soon, if ever. If your current home serves your family well, there’s no rush. But if you’ve outgrown your space or your needs have changed, this more balanced market is ideal for making a move.
THE QUESTIONS I’M HEARING MOST
“Should we wait for rates to drop?” Following every recession is a recovery. Which means buying ahead of the curve (even if rates are higher) could save you home appreciation cost in the long run. Remember, when rates do drop, you’ll compete with everyone else who was waiting.
“Is now a terrible time to sell?” Actually, it’s a great time for the right homes. Buyers exist—they’re just more picky. Homes that show well, are priced correctly, and truly meet today’s lifestyle needs are still selling quickly.
“Are we headed for a crash?” People far smarter than me do not believe that DFW is headed for a housing market crash. We’re seeing a normalization, not a collapse. Our infrastructure, schools, and community appeal aren’t going anywhere.
MY PREDICTION: WHAT’S COMING
Based on years of relationships in this community and watching market cycles, here’s what I see ahead:
Through End of 2025: Continued balance. Sellers who price strategically and present their homes thoughtfully will succeed. Buyers will have real choices without the panic.
Looking to 2026: As the broader DFW growth story continues, areas with established charm, great schools, and community character will outperform. The people moving here aren’t just chasing jobs—they’re chasing quality of life.
HOW TO WIN IN THIS MARKET
If You’re Selling:
- Price it right from day one—the days of “testing the market high” are over
- Make it move-in ready—buyers want to unpack, not renovate
- Tell your home’s story—highlight what makes your home and neighborhood special
If You’re Buying:
- Take your time—but not too much time. Good homes still move
- Get pre-approved properly—rates may be higher, but qualified buyers have power
- Think long-term—buy for your next five years, not just next year
THE BOTTOM LINE
This isn’t about perfect timing—it’s about making informed decisions that align with your needs and timeline. Whether you’re ready to make a move or just want to understand your options, the key is working with someone who sees beyond the spreadsheets to understand what these numbers mean for your real life.
Every situation is unique. Every home has its own story. And every decision deserves more than generic market data—it deserves insight, experience, and someone who truly understands what home means.
