RMDFW Setting New Record in the Exurbs
31% of Closings in Exurb Counties
Forget Dallas, Tarrant, Collin and Denton Counties. The move is on to the exurbs. This month, November 2021, 31% of all RMDFW home closings were NOT in the main four metro counties. The closings were in Kaufman, Rockwall, Ellis, Grayson, Hood and Johnson counties – the new exurb counties of the Metroplex. Affordable, new housing is sprouting up 25, 35, 45 miles away from Dallas – and young millennial families are snatching them up. One year ago, 15% of all November RMDFW closings were new homes sales. This November it is about 42% - a huge increase. Since there is a lack of inventory for new homebuyers, they are moving further out to the exurbs. Kaufman County (Heartland, Forney, Crandall) leads the way, then Rockwall County (Royce City, Fate), then Grayson (Van Alstyne, Melissa).
