D-FW Real Estate Market Starts Strong for 2025, Allie Beth Allman CEO Says

Based on January contracts and closings, Allie Beth Allman & Associates President and CEO Keith Conlon said the D-FW real estate market looks robust for 2025. The leading luxury brokerage closed its best January ever with $218 million in sales, with agents inking many more contracts for homes than expected, Conlon said.

The brokerage’s agents reported that buyer enthusiasm is rising, with many deciding to get off the fence as 2024 came to a close. Allie Beth Allman & Associates agents have listed several extraordinary properties in MLS since Jan. 1, including multiple estates in key neighborhoods like Preston Hollow, Highland Park, Bluffview, and Westlake.

The brokerage closed $3.7 billion in sales in 2024, leading sales in the Park Cities for the eighth straight year, according to MLS data. It was the second-best year by volume in the firm’s history and included $1 billion in off-market sales.

Expert Agents Make the Difference

Conlon chalks up that success to high-quality, dependable agents — something valued by sellers and buyers alike.

“Sales like this would not be possible without our incredible agents and the trust and confidence Dallas has in Allie Beth Allman & Associates and its experts,” Conlon said.

In 2024, an impressive 110 Allie Beth Allman & Associates agents negotiated more than $10 million in deals, with 35 topping $50 million.

An Early Spring in More Ways Than One

While the local real estate market typically heats up come springtime, agents this year have been getting calls from buyers and sellers since early January, Conlon said. So this year’s busy season will likely be in full swing by mid-February.

Those looking to capitalize on the favorable conditions would be wise to seek the help and expertise of Dallas’ luxury real estate leader, he added.

He noted other key indicators foretell a favorable year for real estate. After much uncertainty following the pandemic, the economic outlook is generally positive, especially in North Texas. Additional interest rate cuts are expected this year. Buyers from other parts of the country continue relocating to the Dallas area for a business-friendly environment and quality of life that have become the region’s calling card.

Those buyers should have plenty to choose from, as home inventory levels are not nearly as limited as they were a few years ago. Sellers should be able to capitalize on that market, provided their homes are priced appropriately and ready for sale. Homes that are overpriced or in need of major upgrades might be harder to sell.

“Price and condition have been the deciding factors in home sales for a long time, and that hasn’t changed,” Conlon explains. “When you compare the houses that sit for 100 days now versus those that sell in 20, it’s most often about the price.”
