Dallas Area Residential Sales Report – Fall in North Texas

Oh man, fall in North Texas is kinda like that friend who shows up late to the party—officially kicks off around September 22nd with the equinox, but don’t expect sweater weather right away. We’re talking temps still hanging in the 90s for a bit, feeling more like an extended summer than anything crisp and autumnal. The Farmer’s Almanac is calling for a hotter-than-normal season overall this year, with some stormy vibes mid-fall bringing thunderstorms and rain. Things usually start cooling down more noticeably in October, and by November, you might finally get those milder days in the 60s or 70s, perfect for hitting up pumpkin patches, football games, or just chilling outside without melting.

As for the scenery, the leaves don’t really pop until mid to late November around here—think vibrant reds and oranges on oaks and maples, especially if you head out to places like the Dallas Arboretum or drive through some rural spots. It’s not like New England levels of foliage, but it’s got its own charm, and we get those random warm-ups mixed in with cooler fronts. Spring and fall are our wetter times too, so pack an umbrella for those pop-up showers. Overall, it’s a chill transition season where you can finally enjoy outdoor festivals, hikes, or just sipping something pumpkin-spiced without the brutal heat.
