Coppell remains one of the more affluent, tightly held markets in Dallas County, and this month's data confirms that character. Active residential listings total 106, averaging $795,714 at $269 per square foot. Of those, 31 are currently under contract, averaging a slightly lower $769,406 at a higher $284 per square foot — an unusual pattern where under-contract homes are commanding a higher price per square foot than the active pool, even at a lower average price.
That combination suggests smaller, well-priced homes are moving efficiently at strong per-square-foot values, while some larger active listings may be taking longer to find buyers. Either way, Coppell continues to show real strength this month, consistent with its reputation as one of the DFW area's premier family markets.

Luxury and Mid-Market
Coppell's overall averages sit well above most cities in this report, reflecting its position as one of the more affluent DFW suburbs. There isn't a distinct lower-priced entry tier showing up in this month's data — this is fundamentally a mid-to-upper-market city.
