South Arlington, like most of the Dallas - Fort Worth area, has experienced relatively stable home prices during challenging economic times. Since prices never surged during the housing boom, they have not fallen much, either. Since early in the year, home sales have increased significantly and there is recent evidence that prices are starting to edge up. One emerging trend is the shrinking inventory of avaialble homes on the market, down significantly compared to 2008. With an average home selling price around $125,000 in September and interest rates hovering around 5%, the affordability of homes is at an all-time high.
