What’s the average home price in Arlington, TX? As of early-to-mid 2026, the median sale price for a home in Arlington, TX is running around $315,000–$320,000, with homes typically going under contract in roughly 30–60 days depending on price point and condition.
Why the Numbers Vary Depending on the Source
If you’ve searched this yourself, you’ve probably noticed different sites showing different numbers — some closer to $315,000, others closer to $370,000 or $400,000+. That’s normal. Different platforms track different things: median sale price (what homes actually sold for), average list price (what sellers are asking), and average home value (an estimate across all homes, not just recent sales). Median sale price is generally the most accurate reflection of what buyers are actually paying right now.
Current Snapshot (Early-to-Mid 2026)
Median sale price: Roughly $315,000–$320,000, down modestly (around 3–5%) compared to the same period last year.
Median days on market: Roughly 30–62 days, depending on the source and specific submarket — some tighter pockets of Arlington move faster than others.
Sale-to-list price ratio: Homes are generally selling close to list price, around 97–98% on average, meaning most sellers aren’t seeing dramatic bidding wars but also aren’t discounting heavily.
Buyer activity: Homes are receiving an average of around two offers, putting Arlington in a “somewhat competitive” but not frenzied market.
What This Means If You’re Buying
You likely have more negotiating room than during the peak seller’s market years — homes sitting 30+ days often have some flexibility on price or terms.
It’s still worth getting pre-approved and moving quickly on well-priced, well-maintained homes, since those can still see multiple offers.
Price per square foot varies significantly by neighborhood and home age, so lean on comparable sales in your specific target area rather than the citywide median.
What This Means If You’re Selling
Pricing accurately from day one matters more in a balanced market — overpricing tends to result in longer days on market and eventual price reductions.
Homes priced and presented well are still selling close to asking price, so strong staging and photography continue to pay off.
Expect a more typical timeline (several weeks, not several days) rather than the ultra-fast sales seen in prior hot-market years.
How Arlington Compares to the Rest of DFW
Arlington’s median price generally runs below comparable homes in central Dallas and many parts of Fort Worth, which is part of why it remains attractive to relocators and first-time buyers looking for value within commuting distance of both downtown job centers.
