Arlington, TX Housing Market 2026: What Homes Actually Sell For

If you invest in or around Arlington, the number that matters is what homes actually close for, not what sellers are asking. Here is what Arlington sale prices look like right now, built from the closings Resideline tracked over the last six months, as of August 2026.

The snapshot

• •Closings tracked, last 6 months: 1,574
• •Median sold price, last 6 months: $339,250
• •Middle half of sales closed between: $279,999 and $422,990

One thing to know about Texas data: Texas is a non-disclosure state, which means sale prices are not public record. Most valuation sites quietly have no closing data here. The sold figures above come from closings Resideline tracked directly, which is why we can show them at all, and why we track our accuracy publicly instead of asking you to take the number on faith.

What the numbers say

Resideline tracked 1,574 closed sales in Arlington over the last six months, with a median closing price of $339,250. That median is the midpoint of what buyers actually paid, not what sellers hoped to get, which is why it moves differently from the asking prices you see on listing sites. The middle half of those sales closed between $279,999 and $422,990. That spread matters more than the headline median: where a specific property sits inside it decides whether the citywide number helps you or misleads you. These are the closings we track, not a complete county record, so treat the count as a large sample of the market rather than every sale that happened.

Where Arlington sale prices land

Medians hide the shape of a market. The distribution above covers the closed sales Resideline tracked in Arlington over the last six months, trimmed to the 5th through 95th percentile, with the middle half of sales closing between $279,999 and $422,990. Where your target property sits inside that spread matters more than the citywide median.

The Arlington angle

Sitting between Dallas and Fort Worth, Arlington produces one of the tightest price distributions in North Texas. Of 1,574 tracked closings over six months the median was $339,250 and the middle half ran only from $279,999 to $422,990. That roughly $143,000 quartile gap is small for a city of nearly 400,000 people, and it fits a housing stock dominated by tract subdivisions built from the 1970s through the 2000s at broadly similar sizes and specifications. Tracked closings were 294 in April, 308 in May and 319 in June, a steady progression. For valuation work this is close to ideal: homogeneous stock means comparables are plentiful and the median is actually informative about a typical address, which is rarely true elsewhere.

From market read to offer price

A market read is the backdrop. The decision still comes down to one property and one number: what it is actually worth and what you should pay. Every Resideline report opens with this same market snapshot for the subject's exact ZIP code, then gives you the property's value, the sold comps behind it, and a market rent estimate. Pricing a specific deal? The free ARV calculator and rental property calculator run the numbers in about a minute.

And we show our work. Every estimate is frozen while the home is for sale and graded against the real closing price after it sells. The public scoreboard currently shows 3.21% median error across 6,276+ graded closings, across 50 states.

Run any Arlington address through Resideline and you will see the local market and the property's value together, in one report.
