DCAD - Total Market Value for All Property
The combined market value of $235.73 billion is the calling card of Denton County. As the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex grows, the hunger for suburban land outside the urban sprawl increases. With the ongoing housing crisis, rising material prices, and increased migration, the area is set to become one of the most expensive areas in America. Nearby Collin County is a portent of things to come, as it is currently the most expensive in Texas at $317.89 billion in market value with 450,900 parcels.
$143.86 billion of the total market value in 2024 was for single family housing. This metric has climbed precipitously in the past decade, increasing 243.96% since 2014, and 66.98% since 2021. The tripling of homes values is one of the primary motivators for the massive growth in the total market value, which grew 210.44% in the same timespan. While commercial properties notched $36.57 billion and multi family homes $17.10 billion, single family homes are the story of Denton and will be the main narrative going further.
