Richardson’s spring housing market did not take a breather in April. A total of 80 homes changed hands across the city, keeping sales activity brisk in what is typically a busy season. Prices hovered in the mid-$400,000s, leaving the market looking strikingly similar to last spring and signaling steady demand across Richardson neighborhoods.
According to Community Impact, the average home price in Richardson in April was $449,995, which the outlet reported as an increase of about 0.5% compared with April 2025, and the story noted that 80 homes closed during the month. Community Impact attributed those figures to data from the MetroTex Association of REALTORS®.
What the MLS numbers show
The MetroTex/NTREIS MLS summary likewise logged 80 closed sales in Richardson for April and reported an average sale price of about $517,736 with a median price of $450,000. The same MLS tables show a sold-to-list ratio around 97%, which indicates that most sellers are still getting offers close to their asking price, even without a runaway bidding frenzy.
Snapshot tools do not always line up perfectly. The Houston Association of REALTORS® local market tracker, which applies its own filters, recorded 79 April transactions in Richardson and an average sale price of $511,148 with a $450,000 median. Those small gaps are typical when different platforms use slightly different cutoffs for which sales make the final tally.
How Richardson fits the wider DFW market
Regionwide, spring brought a mixed picture. MetroTex data show that closed home sales across the Dallas-Fort Worth area rose year over year, even as the metro’s median price eased a bit. As DFW Agent Magazine reported from the MetroTex release, closed sales in the DFW Metroplex were up about 7.5% in April while the median price slipped to roughly $390,000.
Set against that backdrop, Richardson’s roughly $450,000 median and firm sold-to-list ratios stand out as a sign of relative resilience. The neighborhood-by-neighborhood breakdowns in the MetroTex MLS tables point more to stability than to any sharp downturn, which helps explain why the city does not always move in lockstep with the broader metro headlines.
