Denton price snapshot
Sources disagree on direction: Redfin's recent read was ≈$390K, up 0.7% year over year, while another tracker had ≈$384,905 over the last 30 days, down 4.4%. Both put it under Lewisville's ≈$399,761, making Denton the most affordable median covered here, at ≈$185/sq ft (down 4.1% YoY). Homes average 1 offer and about 65 days on market. For context, the Texas median was ≈$343,779 in May 2026. Approximate; ask for current comps with an as-of month.
Commute
Denton sits at the northern end of the I-35 corridor, where I-35E and I-35W split toward Dallas and Fort Worth respectively - which makes it one of the few places in the metro with a genuine choice of which downtown to commute to. That is also the honest catch: it is the far northern edge, so both are a real drive. It is the wrong end of the metro for the Plano and Frisco job corridors.

Why work with Mali in Denton

Denton is the county seat of Denton County, a city of about 165,986 people spread across 96.9 square miles at the northern edge of the metro. It is also a college town: roughly 62,453 university students are enrolled here, more than a third of the city's population. That single fact explains most of its statistics. Its median household income reads $80,908 (ACS 2024) - the lowest of any city covered here and far under Denton County's own $117,164 - largely because tens of thousands of student households sit in that median, not because Denton is poor. It is the most affordable market on this site (≈$385K-$390K) and it has a rental demand engine no other suburb here can claim.

  • Local to Denton, 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.

Realtor in Denton: common questions

How do I find a good realtor in Denton?

Look for an agent who works Denton 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 Denton and the surrounding North Texas suburbs, with local sales you can look up on Zillow and reviews from Denton-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 Denton?

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 Denton agent gives you one.

Does Mali help with both buying and selling in Denton?

Yes. Mali represents both buyers and sellers in Denton: 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 Denton does Mali cover?

All of Denton, including Oak-Hickory Historic District, Robson Ranch, Landmark. 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.

Why is Denton's median income so much lower than the rest of Denton County?

Students. Roughly 62,453 people are enrolled at university here, in a city of about 165,986 - more than a third of the population. Student households report very low incomes and they sit inside the city's median, which is why Denton reads $80,908 (ACS 2024) while Denton County as a whole reads $117,164. It is a statistical artifact of a college town, not a measure of what working families here earn.

Is Denton, TX affordable?

It is the most affordable market covered on this site. The median sale price runs about $385K-$390K at roughly $185 per square foot, under Lewisville's ≈$399,761 and far under Frisco's ≈$688K. Homes average one offer and about 65 days on market, so there is real negotiating room. The trade-off is the location: Denton is the far northern edge of the metro.
