Farmers Branch TX Housing Market Update – March 2025

The housing market in Farmers Branch saw extremely limited activity in March, revealing a hyper-local environment where supply is high, but sales are nearly nonexistent. With just one recorded sale and minimal buyer movement, this market is now firmly in a buyer-dominated phase.

Market Supply: Inventory Deep in Buyer Territory

Months of Inventory: 15.0
Month-over-Month Change: -6.3%

Farmers Branch has entered rare territory—15 months of inventory is not just high, it’s a strong signal that buyer demand is well below available supply. Even though inventory decreased slightly from February, this level still represents an oversupplied market.

For sellers, this creates a challenging environment where strategic pricing, upgraded presentation, and professional marketing aren’t optional—they’re essential. Homes that don’t stand out will likely sit on the market far longer than average.

Active Listings: Longer Waits Despite Slight Price Growth

Median List Price: $484,900
Month-over-Month Change: +1.0%

Median Days on Market: 77
Month-over-Month Change: +67.4%

Median $/Sqft: $249
Active Listings: 15

The median days on market jumped to 77 days in March—a major increase of 67.4%. This suggests that even the few homes listed are not moving easily, and that buyer hesitancy is high. List prices edged up slightly, but that doesn’t mean offers are coming in strong—especially without any closed sales to support the ask.

Property Values: Strong Annual Growth, Short-Term Dip

Median Estimated Property Value: $419,000
Month-over-Month Change: -2.1%
12-Month Change: +8.6%

While short-term valuations dipped in March, the long-term view remains healthy. An 8.6% increase from the prior year reflects ongoing appreciation in the area, even though current activity is low. This divergence between long-term value and short-term demand could present hidden opportunities for buyers and investors.

Strategic Insights

For Sellers
With 15 months of inventory and 77 days on market, the Farmers Branch market demands realism. Only the best-positioned listings—well-priced, updated, and professionally marketed—will get traction. Pricing just below comparable homes may be the only way to generate offers in this current environment.

For Buyers
This is a highly favorable market for buyers. Sellers are likely open to negotiations, concessions, and delayed closings. With little competition, you can afford to be selective and focus on value rather than urgency.

For Investors
Farmers Branch may be flying under the radar. With year-over-year appreciation still strong and current inventory sitting, this is a market to watch for underpriced listings or distressed properties. With patience, this could become a value play by 2026.

Final Thoughts

Farmers Branch is in a rare holding pattern. Inventory is high, activity is minimal, and pricing expectations are disconnected from actual demand. If you’re looking to sell, it’s time to get serious about standing out. If you’re looking to buy or invest, this market is yours to take—just be smart and selective.
