Prices, inventory, and demand — distilled every month into one clear verdict: buyer’s market or seller’s. The investor’s read, before you make an offer.
The median asking price in Garland is about $317,000 as of Sep 2026, up 1.6% from a year ago. The typical listing is 6% larger than a year ago, and asking price per square foot is down 3.2%. So the size of homes on the market explains much of the rise. That is the asking price on listed homes, so sold-price and home-value sites show different numbers (why).
