Information and statistics on the latest trends in the De Kalb real estate market, updated for May 2026. *
De Kalb is currently tilted strongly toward buyers, with the market gauge at 100 and a full 12 months of supply on hand. With homes spending a median of 72 days on the market and no sales closing above list price, buyers generally have time and leverage to negotiate.
Prices are showing notable downward movement, which is another reason conditions favor buyers right now. The typical home value sits around $124,900, while the median list price has fallen to about $154,450 after a 25.73% month-over-month drop and a projected median list price of $127,700 for April 2026.
Adding to the slow pace, there are 12 active listings but only 2 new listings and just 1 pending sale, and about one-third of sellers have reduced their asking price. Compared with Bowie County’s typical home value of $202,450, De Kalb looks more affordable today and is projected to trend toward $69,850, giving buyers even more pricing power while sellers must price carefully. In this kind of shifting buyer’s market, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding a local agent who understands these dynamics and can guide them through their next move.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
De Kalb offers residents a tight-knit community with affordable housing, convenient local amenities, ample outdoor spaces, and a welcoming small-town atmosphere.
De Kalb offers small town convenience with easy access to larger job and shopping centers in Texarkana and New Boston. Just off U.S. Highway 82, it appeals to residents who value shorter commutes, less traffic, and room to spread out while staying connected to everyday necessities.
Daily life feels straightforward here. Families appreciate local schools in the De Kalb Independent School District, while the De Kalb Public Library provides community programs and a quiet place to work or study. Groceries, services, and casual dining are close at hand, and expanded retail options are a short drive away in Bowie County. For healthcare and specialty services, residents often look to nearby Texarkana.
Outdoor time is easy to find. Local parks and recreation fields support youth sports and community events, and larger regional destinations like Wright Patman Lake offer boating, camping, and fishing within a reasonable drive. Seasonal festivals and school events give the town its social rhythm, while regional arts and shopping in Dallas or Longview are accessible for day trips.
Whether you are relocating for work, looking for land, or planning to sell a longtime family home, navigating a smaller market can feel complex. A local real estate expert who understands De Kalb’s inventory, pricing, and back road details can streamline decisions and reduce stress. Agent Pronto connects both buyers and sellers with agents who know how to make a De Kalb move smoother from the first conversation to closing.
