75228 Home Values

This zip rides the eastern shore energy of White Rock Lake, stretching from the midcentury ranches of Casa View Heights and Ferguson Heights through Claremont Park and into the tree-canopy streets near the Dallas Arboretum. The housing stock is overwhelmingly single-story brick from the 1950s and early 60s -- three-bed, one- or two-bath homes on generous lots with mature pecans and crepe myrtles. Renovation quality varies wildly block to block. Newer gated communities like Estates at Forest Hills add density at higher price points.

Price per square foot in 75228 settled at $213 in the most recent quarter, running roughly $9 above the Dallas County median — a spread that points to relative pricing strength in this east Dallas zip code. Based on MLS data for the trailing-quarter closings in 75228, sellers gave back about two and a half cents on the dollar at closing, with more than half of transactions including a concession averaging around $8,400. Homes spent about 36 days on market before closing. The share of buyers who paid under list stood at roughly 37%, narrower than the trailing-year rate of nearly half, suggesting the negotiation ceiling for buyers has compressed somewhat despite broadly soft market conditions.

With roughly 249 active listings against 84 pending contracts in 75228, supply continues to outpace absorption — a ratio that leaves buyers with meaningful options heading into summer. New listing activity has kept pace with closings over the quarter, with more than 220 additions to market sustaining that supply cushion. Months of supply at approximately six registers tighter than the broader Dallas County reading of roughly seven, suggesting 75228 draws comparatively stronger demand within the county. The pipeline configuration points toward continued buyer negotiating room, though the relative inventory advantage against the county benchmark may limit how far that leverage extends.
