Key takeaway:

Home prices are rising, but sales are slowing. That’s a sign that the market is shifting—and many sellers don’t realize it yet. That’s a big red flag for sellers who assume they still have all the power.

1. There are more homes for Sale

Active listings jumped 20.3% year over year. 

Yes, this is good for home buyers. However, that means more competition for sellers. 

If you’re not preparing your home now—with staging, small upgrades, and the right pricing—you’ll be competing with homes that are.  If you're planning to sell, now is the time to prep before even more listings hit.

2. Home Price Growth is Moderating.

As inventory grows, the pace of home price growth is slowing down. Because prices are driven by supply and demand. When there are more homes for sale, buyers have more options, so there’s less competition for each house. Rising supply and less buyer competition causes price growth to slow, but it should remain positive in Flower Mound. 

 Yes, home values are up in Flower Mound—$625,000 median price, a 10.1% increase year over year. But pricing too high could hurt you. With 60 days on market on average and more homes for sale, overpricing leads to price drops and missed opportunities. 

The sellers winning right now are the ones who understand the shift and adjust early. For home buyers, yes prices are continuing to rise, which means any home you buy in Flower Mound is likely to appreciate in value over time, helping you build equity. Just not as fast as we saw in the last 5 years.

3. Mortgage Rates Are Stabilizing

One of the biggest challenges for buyers in recent years has been the high and unpredictable mortgage rates. The good news? Rates have started to stabilize—and even dipped slightly since the start of the year. While it’s not a huge drop, this kind of consistency makes it easier for buyers to plan ahead and feel more confident moving forward.

While mortgage rates are leveling out, buyers in Flower Mound are still cautious. Closed sales are actually down 3.6%, which shows us that many buyers are still sitting on the sidelines—watching, waiting, and calculating.

So, while stabilized rates are great news, it doesn’t mean buyers are rushing in. It means they’re getting ready. They are thinking that rates will keep coming down, but based on what we’re seeing right now, they aren’t going to make huge drops. When buyers realize this, we’ll start seeing more movement. People can’t just put their lives on hold for the potential that rates will drop significantly. Even if rates did drop to 5% or below, it would cause a mass influx of buyers into the market, which would in turn spike home prices. 

4. More Buyers Are Returning

As inventory grows, price growth slows, and mortgage rates stabilize, buyers are beginning to feel more confident. These shifts are making the market feel more approachable again—and demand is picking up.

According to the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA), mortgage applications have increased since the beginning of the year, signaling that more buyers are actively planning their move.

While buyer activity is improving nationally, Flower Mound buyers are returning with higher expectations and less urgency. Yes, more are stepping off the sidelines—but they’re taking their time, being picky, and looking for value.

We’re seeing it in the numbers:

Homes are selling at just 94.7% of list price

And closed sales are down 3.6%

That tells us buyers aren’t rushing—they’re negotiating. They’re willing to walk away if a home is overpriced or needs work. So if you’re selling, it’s not just about being on the market—it’s about being the right home at the right price to capture this new, cautious wave of demand.

Biggest Mistake...

Here’s the most common—and costly—mistake we’re seeing Flower Mound home sellers make:

Putting their home on the market without preparing it correctly.

Buyers are picky—and they’re comparing every home. If your house doesn’t show well, isn’t staged properly, or needs obvious repairs, they’ll scroll right past it or come in with low offers.

The homes that are selling fast and for top dollar? They were prepped weeks before hitting the market.
