Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Ellis County real estate market, updated for May 2026. *
Ellis County is leaning toward sellers right now, with the market gauge at 30 out of 100. Typical home values are around $430,000, notably higher than the Texas average of $342,400. Homes are still taking time to move though, sitting a median of 100 days on the market.
Several forces help explain why conditions tilt toward sellers even with longer timelines. Inventory has fallen about 15.55% from last year to 1,238 homes, while new listings are down 6.17%, so buyers have fewer options to choose from overall. At the same time, pending sales are up 14.52% year over year, showing that demand is solid and buyers are acting when they see the right home. Prices are edging upward rather than surging, with typical home values up 1.42% in a year and 0.58% month over month, and the median list price rising about 3.41% in the past month to $454,995.
Some sellers are testing the limits, with about 32.96% of listings seeing a price drop, and homes selling for roughly 98.03% of list price on average. Looking ahead to April 2026, projections show typical values around $431,250, a median list price near $462,493, and inventory holding close to 1,233 homes. With only 14.89% of sales closing above list price and about four months of supply, negotiating room still exists for buyers even in this seller-leaning environment. Whether you are buying or selling, Agent Pronto can connect you with an Ellis County agent who understands these trends and can guide your 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.
Ellis County offers residents a welcoming, community-focused lifestyle with strong schools, diverse job opportunities, ample outdoor recreation, and a collaborative spirit that blends growth with small-town charm.
Ellis County offers a distinct balance of small‑town identity and easy access to big‑city opportunity that sets it apart from nearby urban options. Communities like Waxahachie, Ennis, and Midlothian keep a strong local character, with historic downtowns, Friday night lights, and community traditions that longtime residents and newcomers share quickly.
Weekend life often revolves around outdoor space and local events. Families head to Getzendaner Park along the Waxahachie Creek Hike & Bike Trail, while baseball and soccer fields stay active across the county. In Ennis, the Bluebonnet Trails and annual festival highlight wildflower season and draw visitors from all over North Texas. Cultural spots like the Ellis County Museum on the courthouse square help preserve the area’s story.
Daily convenience is strong too. Residents appreciate local schools such as Midlothian ISD and a growing mix of restaurants, coffee shops, and services. Quick connections to Dallas County and Tarrant County broaden job options while allowing people to return home to quieter streets and familiar faces.
With Ellis County growing rapidly, timing and preparation matter. Whether you are selling a longtime family property or planning a move into your first home here, having the right guidance on pricing, neighborhoods, and competition is crucial.
