The Challenging Real Estate Market in Dallas Fort Worth

The real estate market in Dallas Fort Worth saw a slowdown in 2023 compared to the previous record-setting year in 2022. Higher interest rates cooled off the sales market and created a bid-ask spread, frustrating sellers who were hesitant to lower their prices. However, Dallas Fort Worth is still a desirable market with strong supply-demand fundamentals and low inventory construction compared to other cities. Despite negative rent growth and increasing property taxes and insurance costs, the market fared better than many other markets. While distressed deals are more prevalent in coastal markets and tenant-friendly areas, Dallas Fort Worth is not seeing as much distress. Lenders are generally willing to work with borrowers to prevent taking back properties. Overall, it is a good time to buy in the Dallas Fort Worth market, particularly for those with a long-term mindset and a focus on quality assets and locations.
