In Dallas, 41.4% of the 4,913 homes that closed between May and October 2026 sold after at least one price cut. The median cut was 5.6% ($25,000) off the original asking price, and homes that were cut went on to sell for a median 90.7% of their first list price, against 98.6% for homes that were never reduced.

What a price cut tells a buyer in Dallas

How our numbers compare with Realtor.com and Redfin
Realtor.com counted 26.4% of active Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington listings with a price reduction in October 2026, down 1.8 points from a year earlier. Nationally, Realtor.com's October 2026 price-reduced share was 20.5% (preliminary; the highest October share since 2022), and Redfin found 21.2% of U.S. listings had a price drop in the four weeks ending November 1, 2026, against 20.6% a year earlier. Our Dallas figure is 41.4%.
Portal figures count homes for sale that had a cut during one period, across a whole metro. Our figure counts homes in the city that actually sold after at least one cut over six months, and then shows what they sold for against their original asking price. A listing that was cut and has not sold, or was taken off the market, counts in the portal figures but not in ours.
Redfin counted 13.5% fewer new listings in Dallas than a year earlier in the four weeks ending November 1, 2026.
Realtor.com's Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington figure covers the whole metro, including Fort Worth and Arlington. Both measures moved the same way: the metro share was down 1.8 points from a year earlier, and our Dallas share fell from 43.5% to 41.4%.

How to use a price cut when you make an offer in Dallas
In Dallas, a cut home typically sold for 97.1% of its reduced price, so the reduced price was usually not the final number. Cut homes also sat a median 72 days, which gives you time to check how long a listing has been on the market and whether it has already been reduced.
The neighborhood matters more than the citywide figure. In Knox / Henderson, where 20.0% of homes were cut and the median home sold in 11 days, a reduced listing is unusual. In Bertrand and Chalfont Place, more than half of sales came after a cut and homes closed at a median 92.0% and 92.6% of their original ask. Condos sit in between: 46.6% were cut, and they closed at a median 94.2% of their first price.
Of the 34 TurboHome Texas buyers who closed between November 2025 and October 2026 with both list prices recorded, 8 bought a home that had already been cut; those homes closed at a median 91.1% of the original asking price, and 6 of the 8 negotiated further below the reduced price. That is a small sample, so treat it as an illustration rather than a rate.
Before a TurboHome buyer writes an offer, their agent runs a comparable-based valuation of the home and an AI offer-acceptance prediction, so the offer price rests on recent sales of similar homes rather than on the asking price or the size of a cut. See also how much over asking Dallas buyers pay and how long Dallas homes take to sell.
Methodology
Source: TurboHome's MLS closings data (our MLS feed), closings from May 1 to October 31, 2026, compared with May 1 to October 31, 2025.
Filters: single-family homes, condos and townhouses; a close price of $50,000 or more; original and final list price both recorded; and a final list price between 40% to 150% of the original list price, which removes relists and data errors.
Definitions: a price cut means the final list price at sale was below the original list price. The median cut is measured only on homes that were cut. Sale to original list is the close price divided by the original list price, the full discount from the first asking price; sale to reduced list is the close price divided by the final, reduced list price. Days on market uses recorded values from 0 to 730 days. Prices, cuts, ratios and days on market are medians.
Thresholds: neighborhood tables show the 25 neighborhoods with the most closings among those with at least 20 closings in the 2026 window, or every qualifying neighborhood where fewer qualified. Price range and home type rows need at least 12 closings.
Portal figures: Realtor.com, October 2026 Housing Report, published November 4, 2026, checked November 14, 2026. Its price-reduced share counts active listings with a price reduction during the month. Redfin, Housing Market Update, November 5, 2026, checked November 14, 2026. Its figure is the share of U.S. listings with a price drop in the four weeks ending November 1, 2026. Portal figures count homes for sale that had a cut during one period, across a whole metro. Our figure counts homes in the city that actually sold after at least one cut over six months, and then shows what they sold for against their original asking price. A listing that was cut and has not sold, or was taken off the market, counts in the portal figures but not in ours.
TurboHome figures: TurboHome's own closings from November 1, 2025 to October 31, 2026 over $50,000 with both the original and the final list price recorded. The 247 California and 34 Texas counts are closings with both prices recorded, not total closings, and Texas is a small sample.
FAQ
Does a price cut mean I can offer below the new price in Dallas?
Often, yes. Cut homes in Dallas closed at a median 97.1% of the reduced price from May through October 2026, so the typical cut home still sold below its new asking price, and at 90.7% of the original. Let recent sales of similar homes set your number, not the cut alone.
How big is a typical price cut in Dallas?
The median cut was 5.6% ($25,000) off the original asking price for Dallas homes that were cut and sold from May through October 2026. 21.0% of cuts were under 3% and 26.2% were 10% or more.
Which Dallas neighborhoods had the most price cuts?
Among Dallas neighborhoods with at least 20 closings from May through October 2026, Bertrand (56.5%), Chalfont Place (56.1%), Greater Casa View (55.0%) and Buckner Terrace (54.4%) had the highest shares of homes sold after a price cut. Knox / Henderson had the lowest, at 20.0%.
Are price cuts in Dallas rising or falling?
Falling. 41.4% of Dallas closings from May through October 2026 sold after a cut, against 43.5% in the same months of 2025. Realtor.com counted 26.4% of active Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington listings with a price reduction in October 2026, down 1.8 points from a year earlier, a count of listings rather than sales.
Is a buyer's agent rebate worth it in Dallas?
For most buyers, yes. The buyer-side commission is a percentage of the price, so at Dallas's median sale price of $472,500 a refund of part of it lowers what you bring to closing; the median TurboHome buyer refund in Texas was $5,697, from a small sample. TurboHome charges a flat fee instead of a percentage commission and refunds the rest of the buyer-side commission at closing; see how to get cash back when you buy a house.
