Krum Home Values

The negotiation gap between where sellers list and where transactions close narrowed slightly in Krum this quarter, yet the per-square-foot reading — roughly $191 based on MLS data for 2026-06 closings in Krum — edged below the trailing twelve-month average of $194, even as median sale prices moved notably higher. The limited sample of roughly four dozen closings this quarter suggests a composition shift: buyers are transacting at higher absolute levels while the underlying per-foot signal softened. Year-over-year appreciation remained meaningful, directionally pointing toward price gains outpacing per-sqft value growth — a divergence worth watching as the market continues absorbing elevated supply.

The pipeline in Krum reflects continued absorption pressure. Active listings held at roughly 130 while pending contracts totaled fewer than 35 — a ratio that signals demand has not caught up with available supply. New listing activity came in at nearly 95 over the quarter, adding to an inventory base already supporting roughly nine months of supply. With pending volume well below new listing pace, conditions point toward further buyer negotiating room rather than any near-term tightening.

Price per square foot in Krum came in roughly seven percent below the Denton County median in the latest three-month period, based on MLS data for 2026-05 closings in Krum. Homes that did close sold near asking — sellers gave back less than four cents on the dollar on average — yet more than half of transactions included seller concessions, averaging nearly $9,000 per deal. With the limited sample of roughly three dozen closings this quarter, directional signals suggest Krum's per-square-foot values are running at a discount relative to the broader county, even as the trailing twelve-month median sale price held in the low-$400Ks before a notable step up in the most recent window.

Krum's supply picture diverges sharply from the Denton County baseline heading into summer. With roughly nine and a half months of supply against the county's six and a half, the local market carries meaningfully more inventory relative to demand — a gap that widens buyer negotiating room compared to what prevails elsewhere in the metro. Active listings held steady while pending contracts numbered fewer than thirty, a ratio that signals absorption remains sluggish. New listing activity continued at a measured pace, offering no near-term catalyst to tighten conditions.
