The average and median prices were higher than Dallas saw in May 2009.  The average home price was $214,200, which is a gain on May’s $205,900, but 2 percent lower than June 2008’s $219,000.  The median home price of $166,200 was not only up from May 2008, at $163,400, but also 1 percent higher than June 2008, at $164,400. Dallas’s July 2009 sales and prices might be more indicative of the beginning of the recovery we keep hearing about than June 2009.
