Carrollton price snapshot
Median home value ≈$421K (US Census ACS 2024 1-year). Redfin's median sale price for the three months ending May 2026 was about $420K, down 2.6% year over year. Two different measures that happen to land in the same place.
Commute
I-35E is the main north–south freeway, with the President George Bush Turnpike (SH 190) and the Sam Rayburn Tollway (SH 121) crossing the city and the Dallas North Tollway just east; Belt Line Road, Josey Lane and Old Denton Road carry the local traffic. Rail is the real story: DART Green Line stations at Downtown Carrollton, Trinity Mills and North Carrollton/Frankford; the DART Silver Line (opened October 25, 2025) stopping at Downtown Carrollton with service west to DFW Airport and east to Plano and UT Dallas; and the DCTA A-train terminating at Trinity Mills toward Lewisville and Denton. DFW Airport is about five miles southwest; downtown Dallas is roughly 20 miles, and reachable without a car on the Green Line. Drive times are approximations, not measured figures.

Why work with Mali in Carrollton

Carrollton is the established, unflashy value play in the northwest quadrant: a city of roughly 133,700 people with a median household income of about $101,400 and a median home value around $421,000, which in this metroplex buys you considerably more house than the same money does in Frisco or Plano. It is also unusually well connected: three DART Green Line stations, the DCTA A-train terminating at Trinity Mills, and, since October 25, 2025, the DART Silver Line running from Downtown Carrollton straight to DFW Airport. The catch every buyer has to internalize is the school map. Carrollton spans Dallas, Denton and Collin counties, and three different ISDs serve pieces of it. Your district is set by your address, not by the city on your mail.

  • Local to Carrollton, not just "the metroplex" - she knows the neighborhoods, schools, and HOAs block by block.
  • Represents you on both sides: buying, selling, or selling-to-buy with the two closings coordinated.
  • Straight answers on price and fees up front - no pressure, no jargon.
  • Access to off-market and new-build inventory beyond what's on the public portals.

What buyers love about Carrollton

  • Historic Downtown Carrollton, a genuine town square with boutiques, restaurants and the Market on the Square, plus its own DART station
  • Koreatown Carrollton, the largest Korean community in Texas, with H Mart, 99 Ranch Market and the Korean Mall
  • Rail access most DFW suburbs cannot match: DART Green Line, the DCTA A-train, and the DART Silver Line to DFW Airport as of October 2025
  • A median home value around $421,000 in a city with a ~$101K median household income: established neighborhoods at a price the newer north suburbs no longer offer

Realtor in Carrollton: common questions

How do I find a good realtor in Carrollton?

Look for an agent who works Carrollton specifically - not just "the DFW metroplex" - and can show recent, verifiable closings there. Mali Gariani is a licensed Texas real estate agent who represents buyers and sellers across Carrollton and the surrounding North Texas suburbs, with local sales you can look up on Zillow and reviews from Carrollton-area clients. The fastest way to start is a no-pressure call to talk through your timeline and price range.

How much does a realtor cost in Carrollton?

Real estate commissions are negotiable and are not set by law. Since the 2024 National Association of Realtors settlement, buyer-broker compensation is agreed in writing before you tour homes, so you always know the terms up front. For sellers, Mali will walk you through what a listing costs and what it nets you before you sign anything. Ask for a straight answer on fees - a good Carrollton agent gives you one.

Does Mali help with both buying and selling in Carrollton?

Yes. Mali represents both buyers and sellers in Carrollton: for buyers, that means finding homes (including off-market and new-build), touring, and negotiating; for sellers, a free comparative market analysis, pricing strategy, and full listing marketing. If you're doing both at once - selling to buy - she coordinates the two closings so you're not caught between them.

Which parts of Carrollton does Mali cover?

All of Carrollton, including Downtown Carrollton, Josey Ranch, Country Place. Because she works the whole city rather than one subdivision, she can compare neighborhoods on schools, commute, HOA, and resale for your specific shortlist instead of steering you to one pocket.

What school district is Carrollton, Texas in?

There is no single answer, and this is the most important thing to get right before you buy. Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD (CFBISD) is the primary district and runs three comprehensive high schools in the city (Creekview, Newman Smith and R.L. Turner) plus an Early College High School. Northern Carrollton is served by Lewisville ISD, where the high school is Hebron. The southeastern portion of the city is served by Dallas ISD. Carrollton spans Dallas, Denton and Collin counties, and the district is set by your address, not by the city name on your mail, so verify the specific property before you write an offer.

What do homes cost in Carrollton?

The ACS 2024 1-year estimate puts the median value of owner-occupied homes at about $420,800, and Redfin's median sale price for the three months ending May 2026 was roughly $420,000, down about 2.6% year over year. Those are two different measures (self-reported value of all owned homes versus the price of homes that actually closed) that happen to land near the same number. Against a citywide median household income of about $101,400, that is one of the more reasonable price-to-income ratios among established DFW suburbs.
