Dallas Open Houses And Showings Surge Despite Winter Storm Uri

The Lone Star State has been through a lot these past few weeks, but that’s not stopping buyers from attending Dallas open houses and showings.

According to ShowingTime, the residential real estate industry’s leading showing management and market stats technology provider, “Home showing activity surged throughout Texas to kick off 2021, ground to a halt in mid-February due to Winter Storm Uri and has since risen dramatically following the return of seasonal weather.”

Dallas Open Houses And Showings Are Increasing As Fast As They Declined

“Showings across Texas are increasing right now with the same trajectory as they declined,” said ShowingTime President Michael Lane. “During a 10-day stretch beginning on February 10th, we saw showing traffic drop 64.2 percent. On February 20 activity started returning to normal.”

In fact, per ShowingTime, “In January, the state’s five largest cities – Houston, San Antonio, Dallas, Austin and Forth Worth – all recorded month-over-month and year-over-year increases in showings per listing. Some cities across the state averaged more than 20 showings per listing to start the year, including Frisco, Plano and McKinney, all Dallas suburbs.”

This week, we highlight three listing that are worth a look in our Dallas Open Houses of the Week.
