Richardson, TX Housing Market 2026: What Homes Actually Sell For
What homes actually sell for in Richardson: a median closing price of $472,000 across 538 closings Resideline tracked over the last six months, plus the full price spread.
Richardson closes a lot of homes into a narrow band, which makes its median unusually informative: sales over the last six months land close together, so the citywide number is a real anchor rather than an average of extremes.
The snapshot
- •Closings tracked, last 6 months: 538
- •Median sold price, last 6 months: $472,000
- •Median sold $/sqft, last 6 months: $224
- •Middle half of sales closed between: $399,000 and $599,000
What the numbers say
Resideline tracked 538 closed sales in Richardson over the last six months, with a median closing price of $472,000. 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 $399,000 and $599,000. 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 Resideline tracks and may differ from complete county or municipal records. 94% of the Richardson closings we track here are single-family houses, so these figures primarily reflect that segment, and the citywide $/sqft figure primarily reflects that segment as well. Across the 538 closings with usable living area, the middle half sold between $197 and $269 per square foot.

The Richardson angle
Richardson's closed sales sit in a tighter band than most markets we track, which gives the median more predictive weight than a citywide median usually deserves. Across 538 closings Resideline tracked over the last six months, the median closed sale price was $472,000, and the middle half of sales closed between $399,000 and $599,000. The real question in a market this compressed is not what the city did but whether your subject is typical for it, and the answer has to come from closings matched on property type and size.
From market read to offer price
A tight market makes the next step easier: the citywide anchor sits close to most homes, and a report only has to explain the gap. 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. As of August 2026, the public scoreboard showed 3.26% median error across 12,516+ graded closings. See the live accuracy dashboard for the receipts, or read how the Area Market Snapshot works.
Run any Richardson address through Resideline and you will see the local market and the property's value together, in one report.
