Cedar Hill Home Values

Concessions remained the defining feature of Cedar Hill closings, appearing in nearly two in three sales this quarter, based on MLS data for October 2026 closings in Cedar Hill. Roughly four in ten homes sold below list price and only a sliver closed above it, though sellers still collected close to 98 cents on the dollar, with the average concession near $8,700. Price per square foot edged up to roughly $169 even as the median sale price slipped to around $323,000, suggesting the mix of homes sold shifted. A busier quarter of 155 closings, up from 140, gives these readings firmer footing, and homes took about five weeks to sell.

Supply is tightening in Cedar Hill, though not because demand is surging. Active inventory slid to 274 homes, and months of supply fell to roughly five, the lowest reading in recent months, trimming the buyer-side cushion that built through summer. Pending contracts slipped again to just 22 homes under agreement, so the shrinking pool reflects fewer listings rather than faster absorption. New listings kept arriving at a measured pace, and homes continued to take about five weeks to move, leaving leverage with buyers even as the margin narrows.

A busier quarter of closings in Cedar Hill lent added weight to the city's price signals: 140 sales closed in the trailing three months, up from 133 the month before, based on MLS data for September 2026 closings in Cedar Hill. Price per square foot held essentially flat at roughly $167, with the median sale price near $331,000. Sellers kept the upper hand at the negotiating table, closing near 98 cents on the dollar, though concessions grew more common, appearing in roughly two in three transactions this quarter, extending a rise that has built for several months. Fewer than one in fifty sales closed above list, while the concession amount sellers gave up eased slightly.

Cedar Hill's pipeline points to a slower stretch ahead. Pending contracts fell sharply this quarter to just 25 homes under agreement, a steep pullback from the pace seen through early summer, even as new listings kept arriving at a similar clip. Active inventory eased slightly to 292 homes, and months of supply ticked down to roughly six, a modest tightening on paper that the contract slowdown complicates. The mismatch suggests buyers are stepping back faster than the shrinking active pool would imply, a velocity shift worth watching even as inventory conditions otherwise hold steady.

Cedar Hill's per-square-foot price landed at roughly $166 this quarter, based on MLS data for July 2026 closings in Cedar Hill — nearly a fifth below the roughly $206 median across Dallas County. The city's median sale price of around $338,000 trailed the county's roughly $379,000 benchmark, a valuation spread that has persisted rather than narrowed. Concessions appeared in more than half of Cedar Hill's closed transactions — a meaningfully higher share than at the county level, where just under half of sales included one — while homes here took about 34 days to sell, noticeably longer than the county's 26-day pace. Sellers still captured close to full asking price at closing, keeping the list-to-sale gap modest.

Cedar Hill's pipeline carried slightly more supply than the county as a whole this quarter — just under seven months of inventory locally against roughly six and a half months across Dallas County, a gap that has held steady rather than widened. Active listings totaled 322 against 44 homes under contract, a pending-to-active ratio broadly consistent with the county's own. New listings continued arriving at a pace that kept the local supply gap from widening further, even as contract activity across Cedar Hill trailed the brisker pace typical of the county overall.
