01 · Market summary
The report places Garland’s median single-family sale price at $299,752, down 3.3% year over year. It also reports fewer available homes and shorter market times. Those signals can coexist: limited inventory does not mean every home will command a higher price.
| Measure | Reported figure | Reported annual change |
|---|---|---|
| Median sale price | $299,752 | −3.3% |
| Median price per sq. ft. | $180 | +4.7% |
| Active listings | 501 | −32.9% |
| Months of supply | 3.3 months | −22.7% |
| Median days on market | 40 days | 7 fewer days |
| Sale-to-list ratio | 98.3% | +1.0 percentage point |
| Homes sold above list | 20.3% | +1.4 percentage points |
| Listings with price drops | 42.4% | No exact change supplied |
A lower sale-price median and a higher price per square foot may reflect a different mix of homes selling. They do not prove that every property gained or lost value. The report also describes lower closed-sale volume across differing tracking months.
For a seller, start with current alternatives and recent comparable sales. For a buyer, evaluate condition and carrying costs alongside the asking price. These citywide figures are context, not an appraisal or a promised selling timeline.
02 · Six area sections
The table follows the report’s ZIP comparison table. The six profiles below add Downtown as an overlapping neighborhood lens, not a sixth exclusive postal market. Confirm city limits and other jurisdictions for the exact address.

The report’s prose sometimes gives different ranges, including 36–42 days for North Garland. This table preserves its comparison-table figures. Asking and sold medians can describe different samples and periods; do not subtract them to estimate a typical negotiated discount.
The report emphasizes access to the George Bush Turnpike, Firewheel-area retail, golf, and a mix of larger homes. Floor plan, updates, lot, and the immediate subdivision are useful starting points for a comparison.
Its prose places asking medians between $387,000 and $394,900, illustrating the variation across source windows.
The report pairs an asking median of $320,000 with a sold median of $283,000 and a reported 38–40 days on market.
Compare similar homes and recent transactions; a ZIP median can mask large differences in age, size, renovation, and setting.
Established housing and access to major roads are central to the report’s description. Its prose gives sold medians from $277,000 to $284,703.
Inspect the property’s systems and maintenance history, then compare the cost of any work with nearby renovated alternatives.
The report describes many smaller, older single-story homes. The comparison table lists a $299,500 asking median and a $275,030 sold median.
Lot, usable space, repairs, and renovation quality matter. A high price per square foot can partly reflect a smaller home, not a superior condition.
Lake Ray Hubbard and the South Garland lakeside planning area feature in the report. Its ZIP figures show a $331,000 sold median and a longer 57–65-day market-time range.
Separate an existing home’s features from future redevelopment expectations. Check the property’s location, insurance, drainage, and association obligations individually.
The report highlights the downtown square, rail access, and opportunities for infill and mixed-use redevelopment.
There is no standalone Downtown median in the source. Compare similar property types and check current service, planned projects, parking, and surroundings for the address.
03 · Neighborhood detail
The report includes asking-price indicators for individual neighborhoods. These describe advertised inventory across varying source periods, not what an individual property should sell for.
| Neighborhood | Reported asking median | Comparison focus |
|---|---|---|
| Club Hill | $420,000–$425,000 | Custom homes, lot size, and updates |
| Eastern Hills Estates | $374,000 | Home design, condition, and location |
| Oakridge | $371,944–$387,444 | Lot, landscaping, and renovation quality |
| Camelot | $365,000–$371,950 | Similar size, age, and finishes |
| Western Heights | $344,500–$355,000 | Condition and immediate competing listings |
| English | $277,450 | Property-specific comparisons |
| Star Crest | $272,450 | Home size, updates, and repair scope |
| Faulkner Point | $125,000–$132,500 | Condo / attached housing; fees and association records |
Condominium and attached-home figures should not be treated as comparable to detached single-family medians. Review association financials, insurance, restrictions, and any assessments when that ownership structure applies.
04 · Ownership costs
The report repeatedly points to established housing. Evaluate the roof, HVAC, foundation, drainage, electrical systems, and prior renovations with qualified inspectors. Obtain insurance quotes for the actual property.
Confirm the property’s taxing entities, current assessments, applicable exemptions, association fees, and financing terms. A seller’s tax bill or insurance premium may not predict a buyer’s expense.
Verify the school district by address. For Garland ISD, review the current Choice of School process, availability, deadlines, and transportation eligibility directly with the district. A preferred campus or bus service is not guaranteed.
The source discusses buyer assistance and neighborhood investment programs. Confirm current funding, eligibility, lender participation, permitted improvements, and repayment terms with the relevant program before relying on assistance.
The web summary does not present the source’s tax rates, exemption amounts, program limits, or code-enforcement provisions as independently verified current guidance.
05 · Local investment
The report’s longer-term story centers on reinvestment in an established city: infill housing, commercial redevelopment, streets, recreation, and existing neighborhoods.
The source connects the downtown square and transit access with mixed-use and infill opportunities. Check the stage and surroundings of any specific development.
The report discusses the “Setting Sail” planning area near Lake Ray Hubbard. A long-range plan is not a construction schedule, funding commitment, or guarantee of appreciation.
Bond-funded infrastructure and recreation projects feature in the report. Verify current scope, timing, and any nearby construction effects through the city before making a property decision.
The source highlights industrial employers and neighborhood preservation as demand themes. Local investment can influence the market, but the outcome for an individual home still depends on price, condition, and buyer demand.
06 · Sources & method
This web summary is based on Exhaustive Analysis of the Garland, Texas, Residential Real Estate Market, supplied for this website. The original 17-page PDF, including its works-cited section, is included unchanged.
The source combines multiple publications, periods, geographic definitions, and housing measures. Figures labeled Q3 2026 are a report snapshot and have not been independently reconciled against one current MLS extract. ZIP boundaries may extend beyond Garland, even where the source describes a city-focused analysis.
The ZIP table above follows the source’s comparison table where its narrative provides different ranges. Asking prices and sold prices describe different measures; price-per-square-foot and market-time definitions may also vary. Concessions are not necessarily reflected in headline prices.
Official GISD links are provided for checking current rules. For a transaction, verify comparable sales, condition, financing, taxes, insurance, and program eligibility with the relevant professionals and authorities. This is market information, not an appraisal or legal, tax, financial, or investment advice.
