The numbers mark a stark contrast to the pandemic-era home buying frenzy in the city that saw bidding wars, record price growth, and a flood of out-of-state buyers.
A combination of factors is contributing to the problem.
Many sellers had been holding off on listing thinking they would be able to get more money down the line.
But a flood of them listed simultaneously and the market now has too many homes for sale.
For potential buyers, the shift could bring an opportunity to own a home at a reasonable price.

Dallas is a Meh market for me as an investor - the property taxes + insurance rates are turning cash on cash into negative at times. Plus the maintenance here is absurd (I live here) The numbers don't work without a significant rate change AND a significant price reduction.

I don't know about "major" downturn but its definitely a slowing normal market. Buyers are picky and sellers are anxious. It's really a good time to get a deal. It reminds me of the normal days. I think the problem is we've gotten used to multiple offer bidding wars thinking that was normal.

Sensational article. Definately the market has shifted some. We are seeing more deals fall out...maybe 15%. Seeing some price cuts, but not really drastic price cuts in most cases. More houses on the market, but seems to be a little indigestion, buyers sitting on the sidelines wondering about the economy and interest rates. Many sellers seem to be sticking with their target price or close to it. More negotiating room for buyers and who pays what expenses.
On the investor side, there are now more opportunities. Great place to park cash and many are doing that. We still see plenty of cash sales.
