Sachse has more listings, but nearly 4 in 10 homes still go pending fast

Real estate, Sachse

More choices for buyers. More competition for sellers. That is the short version of what the numbers show in Sachse right now.

The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 132 homes for sale in Sachse for the three months ending July 31, 2026. That is up 21.1% from the same months a year before. Buyers have more to look at. But the homes that fit well are still moving. Nearly 4 in 10 went under contract within two weeks of listing. That share is up 10 points from a year ago.

Price dipped, but homes are selling faster

The Real Estate Data Aggregator put the median sale price in ZIP 75048 at $432,450 for the three months ending July 31, 2026. That is down 5% from the same period in 2025. Prices softened a little. That is worth knowing if you are pricing a home right now.

At the same time, the median days on market fell to 35 days, which is 11 days shorter than a year before. Homes that were priced well found buyers more quickly, not more slowly.

The average sale price came in at 98.2% of list price, the Real Estate Data Aggregator found. That held steady from a year before. About 13.5% of homes sold above list, up 1 point from a year ago. Most homes sold a little under list, but a meaningful share still drew offers over asking.

Rates are higher nationally, and that shapes what buyers can do

Nationally, mortgage rates have climbed. CNBC reported the average 30-year fixed rate at 7.30% as of September 30, 2026. Realtor.com reported rates surged above 7% for the first time since January 2025.

Realtor.com also reported that 20.8% of listings nationally took a price cut in September, the highest share since October 2022. Active listings topped 1.16 million nationwide, up 5.5% year over year. The broader picture matches what Sachse is showing locally: more supply, more price adjustments, but demand still present for the right home.

The Federal Housing Finance Agency reported U.S. house prices rose 2.6% from July 2025 to July 2026. Month over month in July, prices rose 0.3% on a seasonally adjusted basis. Sachse's 5% price dip runs against that national trend, which is worth watching.

What this means if you are selling

More listings means buyers have options. If a home is priced too high or needs work, it sits. The Real Estate Data Aggregator data shows the median held at 98.2% of list, so buyers are not far off on price. But they are also not stretching.

The homes that went under contract in two weeks were likely priced right from the start. That is the clearest signal in this data.

What this means if you are buying

You have more to look at than buyers did a year ago. Supply is up 21.1%. But the 3.9 months of supply, down slightly from a year before, is not a wide-open market. Well-priced homes are still moving in two weeks or less for nearly 4 in 10 listings.

A note on schools: Murphy and Sachse are each split between more than one school district. Never assume a home's district from the city name alone. Verify the school assignment directly with the district before making a decision.
