Garland Home Values

Garland sits east of Dallas where President George Bush Turnpike, I-30, I-635, and US-75 converge, giving residents freeway access in every direction without fighting through downtown. The city stretches from established 1960s and 70s neighborhoods near its historic downtown square to newer lakeside communities along the shores of Lake Ray Hubbard. Subdivisions range from no-HOA ranch-style streets with oversized lots to master-planned developments like Firewheel and Fireside by the Lake. DART light rail connects Garland directly to downtown Dallas, making it one of the few inner-ring suburbs where a car-optional commute is genuinely practical.

At roughly $181 per square foot, Garland closed transactions run about eleven percent below the broader Dallas County benchmark, a gap that mirrors a year-over-year price softening of roughly four percent in the city. Sellers received just over ninety-seven cents on the dollar, and more than half of all transactions carried concessions averaging around $7,200 — a seller give-back pattern that distinguishes Garland from the county average of roughly fifty percent concession frequency. Homes cleared contract in approximately 34 days. Based on MLS data for spring 2026 closings in Garland, the sub-$310K median anchors this city well below county-level pricing despite similar days-on-market velocity.

Pipeline conditions in Garland point to a moderately active market running somewhat tighter than Dallas County overall. At six months of supply — versus seven for the county — the inventory cushion is comparatively narrower, with roughly 379 pending contracts against 878 active listings at the latest read. New listing flow of around 800 homes over the past three months has kept pace with demand without triggering excess. Median contract duration of 34 days suggests no meaningful velocity shift is underway in either direction.
