ZIP 75043 Housing Market & Real Estate Update (February 22, 2026)

ZIP 75043 (Garland, TX) stayed active this winter, but recent data points lean more buyer-friendly than last year, with softer closed-sale pricing and longer timelines.

Top takeaways

Closed-sale prices in 75043 were lower year-over-year in the latest Redfin snapshot (January 2026).
Inventory is meaningfully higher than a few years ago on portal counts, giving buyers more choices.
Homes are generally taking longer to sell than last year, and many sales are happening below list price on average.
Mortgage rates dipped again this week, which could pull some sidelined buyers back into the spring market.

Market snapshot (what the portals are signaling)

Pricing: Redfin’s latest ZIP-level numbers show a January 2026 median sale price of $293,000, down 8.4% year-over-year, with a median $161 per square foot (down 6.9% year-over-year). Realtor.com’s ZIP market dashboard (reporting period December 2025) shows a median home value around $319,945 (down 4.47% year-over-year). Different methodologies can produce different medians, so it helps to compare both closed-sale and active-market views when setting expectations.

Inventory and pace: Realtor.com shows about 250 active listings in 75043 for its December 2025 reporting period (up 9.91% year-over-year), with average days on market around 79 days. Redfin shows homes selling in roughly 62 days on average in January 2026 and notes that homes sell for about 4% below list price on average (with hotter homes moving faster).

Rates watch

Freddie Mac’s weekly PMMS update (as of 02/19/2026) puts the average 30-year fixed at 6.01% (down from 6.09% the week prior). If that easing trend holds into March, expect more rate-sensitive buyers to re-test affordability, especially in the mid-priced single-family segment.

What’s for sale (how to shop the 75043 mix)

Today’s big portals show a few hundred active homes across 75043, spanning entry-level fixers, move-in-ready three to four bedroom houses, and the occasional larger home or investor-style opportunity. If you’re buying, watch for recent price cuts and listings that have lingered past 45 to 75 days, since they can create negotiation room. If you’re selling, the data argues for sharp initial pricing and clean inspection-ready condition to stand out.
