Greenland Hills Real Estate in 2026: What the MLS Data Actually Shows

If you’ve been watching the M Streets, the 2026 market data tells a clear story: Greenland Hills remains one of the most consistently in-demand neighborhoods in Dallas, with serious buyers moving fast and sellers holding firm on price. Here’s what recent MLS activity reveals about where the market actually stands.

The Price Range: $590K to Nearly $1M

Closed sales in Greenland Hills so far in 2026 have ranged from $590,000 on the low end — a 1930s brick traditional sold as-is and priced for a remodel or rebuild — all the way up to $980,000 for a beautifully updated 1926 Craftsman with a pool on one of the neighborhood’s most sought-after blocks.

The sweet spot for move-in-ready homes sits firmly in the $825,000–$900,000 range. That’s where fully updated Tudors with hardwood floors, renovated kitchens, and modern systems are trading, regardless of whether they’re 1,500 square feet or close to 2,600.

Homes Are Moving Quickly — Sometimes Immediately

The days-on-market numbers are striking. Multiple properties went under contract in 1 to 4 days. One 1926 Tudor revival listed at $899,000 was pending in just two days. A renovated storybook Tudor listed at $799,000 sold in three days — and closed at $900,000, a full $101,000 over asking. A 1927 Tudor listed at $889,000 received a contract within two weeks and closed at $890,000, essentially at list.

The pattern is consistent: well-presented, move-in-ready homes priced accurately are generating immediate offers. Properties sold as-is or needing significant work are still trading, but they take longer.

What Buyers Are Actually Paying Per Square Foot

Price per square foot varies significantly based on condition. Distressed or as-is properties have closed in the $337–$381 range. Updated, move-in-ready homes are consistently closing in the $453–$528 range. The highest price per square foot recorded in this dataset was $643 — a fully reimagined Tudor on Monticello that sold over asking after just three days, featuring exposed beam cathedral ceilings, white oak hardwoods, guest quarters, and premium finishes throughout.

The Conservation District Factor

Nearly every listing notes the property sits within the Greenland Hills Conservation District. Architectural requirements govern what can and can’t be built or altered, keeping street character intact and protecting long-term desirability. For buyers, the Tudor streetscape they’re falling in love with today will look largely the same in 20 years. For sellers, it’s a selling point worth leading with.

Current Active Inventory Is Tight

As of late May 2026, active inventory in Greenland Hills is thin. What’s available includes a corner lot entry-level fixer priced at $664,900 — marketed as both a renovation and new-construction opportunity — and a newly listed townhouse at $650,000 offering a low-maintenance M Streets lifestyle near the Katy Trail, Knox Street, and Lower Greenville. A three-bedroom 1926 Tudor at $925,000 is currently on hold after about a month on market.

What’s Under Contract Right Now

The pending pipeline is active. A 1925 Tudor listed at $675,000 went under option almost immediately. A 1926 home priced at $899,000 went pending in two days. A renovated 1927 Tudor listed at $965,000 — featuring refinished hardwoods, clawfoot soaking tub, KitchenAid appliances, and a turfed side yard — went under option in 15 days.

Cash Is Common, But Not Exclusive

Several closed transactions were all-cash. But conventional and VA buyers are also closing successfully — a 5-bedroom home closed at $870,000 conventional, and a Craftsman with a pool closed at $980,000 conventional. The neighborhood is accessible to financed buyers who move quickly.

Schools and Location: The Unchanging Drivers

Every single-family listing in this dataset zones to Dallas ISD with Mockingbird Elementary, Long Middle, and Woodrow Wilson High. Mockingbird Elementary is cited repeatedly in listing remarks as a primary draw. No other neighborhood in this part of Dallas offers this combination of school zoning, conservation district protections, walkable access to Greenville Avenue and Knox-Henderson, and proximity to Katy Trail and White Rock Lake.

The Bottom Line for 2026 Buyers and Sellers

For sellers, Greenland Hills continues to reward preparation. Homes that show well are selling fast and close to (or above) list price. As-is properties still move, but they require correct pricing and attract a different buyer profile — builders and investors rather than owner-occupants.

For buyers, the window between a home hitting the market and going under contract can be measured in days, not weeks. Getting pre-approved, knowing your target streets, and being willing to move on short notice isn’t optional in this neighborhood — it’s the minimum requirement for success.

The M Streets aren’t going anywhere. Neither is the demand.
