Northlake Home Prices
Single-family homes, last 12 months compared with the 12 months before. These numbers update every month.

What the numbers say
- The median dipped, but not per square foot. The median price fell 5.8%, while the median price per square foot rose 6.5%. That points to a different mix of homes selling, not a drop in value for the same space.
- Homes are selling faster. The median home sold in 25 days, down from 35. Sellers got a median 96.9% of their original list price.
- Supply is tight. At 1.8 months of supply, there are not many homes for sale at any one time. Anything under about 4 months generally favors sellers.
