Denton County’s housing market showed signs of cooling in July 2025, as home prices softened slightly while inventory expanded significantly.
The median sales price slipped 1.1% year-over-year, bringing the county’s median home price to $460,000. A large portion of activity remains in the $300,000–$399,999 price range, which made up 26.3% of listings in July.
On the supply side, active listings surged 42% compared to July 2024, giving buyers more options than they’ve had in recent years. The average days on market stood at 83, which is lower than the statewide average, indicating homes in Denton County are still moving relatively quickly compared to the broader Texas market.
The months of inventory increased from 3.5 in July 2024 to 4.8 in July 2025, pointing to a market that is becoming more balanced. While still under the six-month threshold typically associated with a buyer’s market, the increase suggests that sellers are facing more competition.
What This Means for Buyers and Sellers
For buyers, Denton County is becoming more favorable, with more homes available and less upward pressure on prices. Those searching in the $300,000–$399,999 range will find the largest share of listings.
For sellers, the market remains solid but more competitive than in past years. With rising inventory and softer prices, realistic pricing and proper staging are essential for attracting offers in a timely manner.
Communities such as Denton, Lewisville, Flower Mound, and Little Elm continue to draw buyers with their strong schools, employment centers, and proximity to the Dallas–Fort Worth metro.
