76226 Home Values

Roughly half of the homes that closed in 76226 this quarter still sold below their asking price, though that share slipped from the trailing-year pattern as price per square foot edged up to about $211, a couple of dollars above the twelve-month norm. Based on MLS data for 2026-10 closings in 76226, sellers collected about 97 cents on the dollar, and nearly half of deals carried concessions averaging a little over $10,000. Median sale price near $591,000 sits well above the year's overall level, and with more than 340 closings in the quarter, the negotiating room buyers retain looks durable rather than anecdotal.

Buyer leverage in 76226 rests on a pipeline that is thinning only slowly. Months of supply slid to about six from roughly seven and a half across the trailing year, and active inventory eased modestly to just over 700 listings, yet new listings still arrived at roughly ten times the pace of pending contracts. Days on market stretched into the mid-forties, a slower rhythm than the prior quarter. Together the signals point to a market where supply remains ample and absorption has not yet accelerated enough to shift near-term conditions toward sellers.

Homes across 76226 that closed this quarter spent noticeably less time under contract than the trailing-year norm — a median of roughly five weeks, down from about seven, even as price per square foot held essentially flat near $209. Sellers received close to 97 cents on the dollar, edging up slightly, while just under half of closings still carried concessions averaging roughly $10,300, a modest pullback from the prior quarter's pace. Based on MLS data for 2026-09 closings in 76226, closed volume held near 344 transactions, tracking close to last quarter's mid-300s pace rather than accelerating further.

Pipeline signals in 76226 point to a more measured buildup than the closed-sale acceleration might suggest: active inventory held flat near 740 listings while new listings continued to arrive well ahead of pending contracts, keeping the supply cushion wide relative to demand. Months of supply eased to about six and a half, down from nearly eight over the trailing year, a gradual tightening but still comfortably inside buyer territory. The gap between fresh listings and signed contracts suggests the recent pickup in closing speed hasn't yet pulled through to a faster-clearing pipeline.

While Denton County's price per square foot held near $203 this quarter, 76226 closed only a few dollars higher, near $206 — a narrower gap than the zip's overall price premium suggests. The median sale price, near $579,000, still ran nearly 30 percent above the county's roughly $448,000, pointing to larger homes rather than a steeper per-foot markup. Sellers here received close to 97 cents on the dollar, in line with the county's own ratio, while just over half of closings carried concessions averaging around $10,400. Based on MLS data for 2026-07 closings in 76226, 352 transactions closed in the quarter, up from 300 the month prior.

Denton County's pipeline runs a bit tighter than 76226's: the county's pending-to-active ratio sits modestly higher, while new listings here continue to outpace pending contracts by a wider margin than the countywide pace. With roughly six and a half months of supply against the county's near six, 76226 is carrying a slightly deeper unsold cushion than its neighbors. That gap gives buyers shopping this zip marginally more selection relative to demand than the broader Denton market is currently showing.
