The 2017 sales increase was helped by a jump in December home purchases. Dallas-Fort Worth real estate agents sold 8,990 houses last month, a 12 percent rise from December 2016, according to data from the Real Estate Center and North Texas Real Estate Information Systems Inc.
Median sales prices last month were 8 percent ahead of December 2016 at $250,000. Prices grew 9 percent from 2016 to 2017.
At the end of December, 17,400 preowned homes were listed for sale in North Texas—6 percent more than a year earlier.
Sales of houses priced below $180,000 declined in 2017 because a low number of these properties were on the market.
DFW home sales have risen more than 60 percent since 2010. Read the Real Estate Center's November 2017 housing report for Dallas-Fort Worth for more information. | Dallas Morning News
