Keller, Texas: What the Market Looks Like Next to Southlake and Colleyville

What does it cost to buy a home in Keller, Texas right now?

The median home in Keller sold for $686,995 over the three months ending August 2026, down 5.2% from a year earlier even as the price per square foot rose 3.6% to $243, according to Redfin. That gap between the median and the per-foot number says more about which homes traded this year than about what any single house is worth. Set Keller's median against Southlake's $1,349,607 or Colleyville's $1,049,306, both a short drive away, and the price gap is the story most buyers in this stretch of Tarrant County are trying to understand.

Keller sits between Fort Worth's northern edge and the Southlake and Westlake corridor that gets most of the attention in this part of the metro. It shares highway access with both, with State Highway 114, US 377, and I-35W all touching the city, and it draws from a similar pool of move-up and relocation buyers. What it doesn't share is the price tag.

At $686,995, Keller's median runs roughly half of Southlake's and about two thirds of Colleyville's, per Redfin's three-month rolling data for all three cities. Keller also moves at a healthy pace on its own: a median 32 days on market, a 98.4% sale-to-list ratio, and 22.4% of homes closing above list price this year, up more than five points from a year earlier. Southlake sells even faster, a median 27 days, but at a price point that puts most move-up buyers out of the running before they start.

What's actually selling in Keller right now

The spread inside Keller is wide enough that the median doesn't describe any single buyer's experience. A five-bedroom, six-bath home on Wicklow Lane closed this year at $2,490,000 across 5,445 square feet, the kind of estate-lot sale that pulls Keller's per-foot number up without moving the bulk of the market. A few miles away, a four-bedroom, four-bath home on Crimson Glory Court closed August 11 at $995,000, a more typical trade for Keller's established subdivisions. Both are real closings from this year, not list prices, and the distance between them is the clearest way to see what the median is averaging over.

Old Town Keller, the historic commercial core along Main Street and Keller Parkway, is in the middle of a genuine build-out. Community Impact has tracked a multi-year reinvestment that started with a roughly $4.5 million first phase and continued into Bates Street's festival park and streetscape work, funded partly through a Tarrant County transportation bond. The commercial turnover on the ground has followed. Luna Loco opened on South Main Street this fall, joining a new western fashion boutique in a newly built storefront, with a sports bar concept, a steakhouse and meat market merger, and a planned second steakhouse all landing on Keller Parkway within the same stretch of blocks this year.

That kind of street-level change matters to a buyer even when it doesn't show up in the median. A commercial core that's actively filling in tends to hold value differently than one that isn't, and Old Town's build-out is one more reason Keller's price gap with Southlake and Colleyville has room to close over time rather than stay fixed where it is today.

Keller was originally settled in the 1850s near a spot called Double Springs and first went by the name Athol. It took its current name from John C. Keller, a Texas and Pacific Railroad foreman, once the rail line made it a stop in 1882, according to the city's own history page. The city incorporated on November 16, 1955, and has grown into a largely built-out community of just over 46,000 residents, up only 0.7% since the 2020 Census, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. That's a different growth story than the raw farmland turning into subdivisions farther out in Argyle or Princeton. Keller finished most of its growth years ago, which is part of why its inventory skews toward established streets and mature trees rather than new construction.

The city sits across both Tarrant and Denton counties, and most of it is zoned to Keller Independent School District, though a handful of addresses fall into neighboring districts. Anyone comparing homes here should confirm the district and the appraisal district for a specific address before assuming it matches the property next door.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the median home price in Keller, Texas right now?

Keller's median sale price was $686,995 over the three months ending August 2026, down 5.2% year over year even as the price per square foot rose to $243, per Redfin. The drop in the median alongside the rise in price per foot suggests fewer high-end estate sales closed this year relative to the broader range that makes up most of Keller's resale market.

How does Keller compare to Southlake and Colleyville on price?

Keller's median runs about half of Southlake's $1,349,607 and roughly two thirds of Colleyville's $1,049,306. All three cities sit inside the same stretch of northeast Tarrant County and share highway access along State Highway 114 and US 377, so the gap is almost entirely about land cost and lot size rather than location.

What's changing in Old Town Keller?

The city has funded multiple phases of streetscape work along Main Street and Bates Street, and commercial turnover has picked up alongside it. New restaurants and retail opened through 2026 in a district that was quieter just a few years ago, with more announced for Keller Parkway.

Which school district serves Keller, Texas?

Most of Keller is zoned to Keller Independent School District, though the city spans both Tarrant and Denton counties and a small number of addresses fall into neighboring districts. Confirm zoning for any specific address before assuming it matches a neighboring property.

Do I need a local agent to buy or sell in Keller, Texas?

What actually matters is transaction experience in this specific price band and corridor, someone who has tracked how Keller trades against Southlake, Colleyville, and Westlake rather than general DFW averages. That's the kind of read a general search tool won't give you, and it's worth getting before you write an offer or set a list price.

I've worked this stretch of Tarrant and Denton counties long enough to watch Old Town Keller go from quiet to genuinely busy on a Friday night, and that kind of change is worth factoring into a purchase decision, not just the median.
