Several States Drive 20 Percent of Remodel Activity
As someone who keeps a close eye on home trends in Dallas/Fort Worth, I find it fascinating that California, Texas, and Florida together account for a remarkable 20% of all remodeling activity in the U.S. California alone holds 8% of the $22.2B market. From 2023 to 2025, remodeling spending has grown by over 10%. What’s fueling this? Aging homes, growing homeowner equity, and a nationwide network of 128,000 remodeling firms. Here in Texas, it’s clear we play a major role in shaping the landscape of home improvements—and I see the impact firsthand in our local neighborhoods every day.

U.S. Cities With Newer Luxury Homes Priced Below $1 Million in 2026
As someone deeply familiar with the Dallas/Fort Worth luxury market, I often see how regional differences shape our housing landscape. While coastal cities tend to feature older, smaller luxury homes at premium prices, markets like ours across the Sun Belt and Midwest stand out for newer, more spacious properties—often with a median build year between 2008 and 2013, and price points ranging from $750K to $994K. For those looking for luxury living under $1 million, it’s fascinating—and encouraging—to see how much more is possible in these regions.

Dallas Homes Selling Below Asking
As someone who has helped clients navigate the Dallas/Fort Worth real estate landscape for years, I’ve been closely watching the recent trend: Dallas homes are currently selling for around 3% below asking price on average. This places our city sixth among the top 10 US markets offering the biggest average discounts. It’s a clear sign that buyers here have had more room to negotiate than in markets where bidding wars are still the norm. Dallas is very much in line with other Southern markets, where recent sales have closed at about 2–3% below list price. For buyers, this translates into meaningful leverage when crafting offers, while sellers are often accepting prices under their initial targets. Understanding these shifts can make all the difference when making your next move in Dallas.
