DeSoto's housing stock splits into two distinct chapters. East of I-35E, you'll find the brick ranch homes and split-levels that defined the 80s and 90s boom -- Windmill Hill, Hidden Canyon, Park Ridge Estates -- most on quarter-acre lots with mature tree canopy. West of the highway, Bloomfield and Kindred Homes are actively building out Parkerville Meadows with single- and two-story plans starting in the mid-$400s. Sprinkled through the older sections are duplexes and small multi-family pockets, plus the gated Thorntree enclave tucked around its golf course.

This is a buyer's market right now, full stop. Five months of supply means sellers are competing for attention, and concessions have become table stakes. Prices are essentially flat year-over-year, which tells you the frenzy is long gone but the floor is holding. Builders are absorbing a big share of transactions, and they're aggressive with incentives, which puts pressure on resale sellers to match.

If you're selling a resale home here, you're competing with builder incentives and brand-new finishes. Price to the comps, not to your Zestimate. Homes that moved fast had updated kitchens, fresh flooring, and were staged to show scale. Consider offering a rate buydown -- it's what buyers are comparing you against.
