2025: A Turning Point for the Dallas-Fort Worth Housing Market

Real estate leaders are making bold predictions: the housing market is poised to “take off like a jet” in early 2025. After a challenging couple of years marked by slow sales and economic uncertainty, experts foresee a major upswing driven by pent-up demand and stabilized conditions.

According to Rachel Cahill, COO of The Cliff Freeman Group, "The DFW housing market is ready to bounce back. We’re seeing signs of a busier, more balanced market ahead. Now’s the time to start planning if you’re thinking about buying or selling.”

The Bottom Is Behind Us

Real estate leaders, including Anthony Lamacchia of Lamacchia Realty and Leo Pareja of eXp Realty, recently declared that the slowdown in home sales has likely hit its lowest point. Historically, the housing market often gains momentum following a presidential election year, and 2025 is expected to follow suit.

Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist for the National Association of Realtors (NAR), estimates that existing home sales will rise by 9% in 2025, with new home sales growing by 11%. For Dallas-Fort Worth—a region already benefiting from job growth and population influx—this could mean a surge in activity as early as January.

What’s Driving the Change?

Several factors are setting the stage for this anticipated upswing:

1. Post-Election Stability: The uncertainty of an election year is behind us, giving buyers and sellers more confidence to make decisions.
2. Pent-Up Demand: After two years of slow sales, many families and individuals are ready to make their move.
3. Economic Recovery: While interest rates remain elevated, they’ve begun to stabilize, giving buyers a clearer picture of their financing options.

“In DFW, we’re already seeing more buyers asking questions and starting their searches,” Cahill says. “The market is shifting, and there’s a good chance we’ll see more homes for sale and more activity from buyers.”

What This Means for DFW Buyers and Sellers

If you’ve been waiting for the right time to buy or sell, now is the time to act. Here’s why:

• For Buyers: The market is expected to heat up quickly in 2025. Locking in a home now could save you money as demand rises.
• For Sellers: With increased buyer activity and more favorable conditions, 2025 may be the ideal time to list your home.

Why DFW Is Ready to Thrive

Dallas-Fort Worth continues to be a magnet for economic growth, with new jobs and businesses driving demand for housing. From vibrant suburbs like Frisco and Prosper to the bustling core of Dallas itself, the region remains a top destination for families and professionals alike.

“We’re lucky here in DFW,” Cahill adds. “With the job growth and people moving in, our market is in a good position to see a lot of activity. Whether you’re looking to buy or sell, 2025 is shaping up to be a great year.”

Get Ready for the Shift

As 2025 approaches, preparation will be key. Buyers should get pre-approved for mortgages and start exploring options. Sellers can maximize their opportunities by working with an experienced agent who knows how to market their home effectively.

“At The Cliff Freeman Group, we’re here to help make your real estate plans happen,” Cahill says. “Whether it’s your first home, upgrading, or selling, this is the perfect time to get started.”
