    Makeover Success Story

    Check out all the bells and whistles in this beautified North Dallas home

    Forestcrest is a charming neighborhood populated with everything from 1960s moderns to new construction. There are also plenty of one-story ranches that have undergone renovations, like the beauty at 4438 Ridgeside Dr.

    This four-bedroom, three-bathroom home, built in 1968, is for the lover of natural light. Sunshine bursts through the windows of the 3,171-square-foot space, from the common areas to the bedrooms.

    Upon entering you are drawn to the formal living room — currently being used as a study — that contrasts nicely with the cozy family room and its floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. Whatever room you choose to entertain your guests in, they are sure to notice the oak wood floors and the vaulted ceilings that add a touch of elegance.

    The kitchen is a cook's dream, with stained concrete countertops, two pantries, stainless steel Viking appliances, and an island with a six-burner gas cooktop. Picture the kids doing homework at the bar before everyone makes their way over to the dining room to enjoy a family meal.

    The master suite is large enough for a sitting room, but that isn't what steals the show. The large bathroom is equipped with his-and-hers vessel sinks, a jetted waterfall tub, and a walk-in shower. Actually, all of the bedrooms are quite large, which will make houseguests happy and teenage kids even happier.

    Your four-legged friends are in luck, as this home has a backyard that will keep their tails wagging. It also will be a favorite hangout spot for the new owner when the temperature is right.

    There is a covered patio with slate flooring and an expansive deck overlooking lush landscaping and tall, healthy trees. A two-car garage has room to store all your yard maintenance tools.

    Ebby Halliday listing agent Cindy O'Gorman is confident this home will sell quickly because of its proximity to the Galleria and many of Dallas' top private schools. It also doesn't hurt that this home is within walking distance to beautiful parks while being close to both the Dallas North Tollway and Interstate 635.

    List price for this luxurious piece of renovated real estate: $599,000.

    The North Dallas home located at 4438 Ridgeside Dr. is listed for $599,000.

    Going Down

    This Dallas suburb saw 5th biggest drop in home prices in U.S. in 2026

    Good news for potential Dallas-area homebuyers: Housing prices in Plano have come down nearly $30,000 since last year.

    Typical home values in Plano have fallen 5.1 percent since February 2025, now standing at $501,564, down from $528,510.

    The new housing study from SmartAsset analyzed home values across the 100 biggest metro areas using Zillow’s Home Value Index tool for single-family homes, condos, and co-ops. Home value data was sourced for the month of February in 2021, 2025, and 2026.

    Plano is joined by Oakland, California (No. 1); Saint Petersburg (No. 2); Naples, Florida (No. 3); and Austin (No. 4) as the top five U.S. cities with the biggest one-year home price reductions in the U.S.

    Housing prices in Dallas-Fort Worth have been on the decline since 2024, a separate study found, but SmartAsset said they're still a whopping 32.4 percent higher than they were in 2021. And compared to Plano's pre-pandemic housing market in 2019, prices have ballooned by 44.1 percent.

    Here's how much cheaper housing prices are in other North Texas cities:

    Dallas:

    • One year change: -3.79 percent
    • Typical home value in 2025: $317,550
    • Typical home value in 2026: $305,523

    Arlington:

    • One year change: -3.41 percent
    • Typical home value in 2025: $318,649
    • Typical home value in 2026: $307,792

    Fort Worth:

    • One year change: -3.08 percent
    • Typical home value in 2025: $305,236
    • Typical home value in 2026: $295,822

    DFW homeowners are also entering the best time of the year to sell their houses, which could add a sudden sense of competitiveness for buyers.

    Home prices elsewhere around the U.S. have seen varying changes, according to the report.

    "Between 2025 and 2026, the typical home value in large U.S. cities actually declined by 1.04 percent, with values dropping in 70 percent of cities," the report's author wrote. "But the full range of changes from market to market ran the gamut from -9.1 percent to +5.01 percent, putting both hopeful buyers and homeowners in starkly different environments across the nation."

    The top three U.S. cities where home prices increased the most since 2025 are Toledo, Ohio (No. 2); Lincoln, Nebraska (No. 2); and San Francisco (No. 3).

    The 10 cities with the biggest one-year decreases in home values are:

    • No. 1 – Oakland, California
    • No. 2 – Saint Petersburg, Florida
    • No. 3 – Naples, Florida
    • No. 4 – Austin
    • No. 5 – Plano
    • No. 6 – Aurora, Colorado
    • No. 7 – Denver
    • No. 8 – Atlanta
    • No. 9 – Stockton, California
    • No. 10 – Tampa
