Market Interpretation

Meridian Analyst Commentary

DFW's million-dollar segment closed 2025 with the highest median price of any Texas metro at $1,421,560, and Dallas's premier ZIPs carried roughly 2.4 months of luxury supply entering the second quarter of 2026. Buyer activity remains strongest in Highland Park, University Park, and Southlake, where well-priced homes continue to move at or near list price.

In Oklahoma City, the metro median held at $280,000 in July 2026. Supply rises with price: homes above $500,000 measured about 6.8 months of inventory in early 2026, while the 73116 corridor (Nichols Hills and Quail Creek) stayed closer to 3.5 months with sellers receiving roughly 97% of list price.

Meridian continues monitoring supply pressure, market momentum, and buyer demand patterns for signs of emerging opportunity.

Market Position Tier 1 Luxury Market

Highland Park's three-month median sale price stood near $2.3 million through August 2026, with a median price per square foot of approximately $782 (Redfin, August 2026). Year-over-year median swings reflect low resale volume and shifting property mix rather than broad value declines. Meridian continues to rank the community among the strongest luxury markets in Dallas-Fort Worth.
