We have been seeing home price appreciation in both Denton County and Collin County markets within the past 2 years. Here is a look at the Luxury Market where we have looked at all sales of homes of $1 Million or more. The data we have looked at is reported sales in the NTREIS MLS database.

Here is a look at the same data of median sale price for sales over $1 Million for the past 10 years. You can see that the median sale price peaked in 2008-2009 around $1,400,000 but has stayed around $1,300,000 with one large drop in 2013 for Collin County.

These charts show the different types of financing reported in the MLS. It is always interesting to see how much of the financing is conventional compared to cash sales or other. Texas is a non-disclosure state thus we other is typically sales where financing was not disclosed. The largest difference in 2006 to 2015 is there is a much larger percentage of owner financing in 2006 compared to 2015.

The last chart we will look at is all sales over $1million plotted. As you can, there were a very few sales above the $5 million mark and one sale in 2012 for $35 million. The majority of the sales are $1 to $3 million.
