Ebby Halliday Spring Home Tour: 650+ Open Houses in North Texas
Ebby Halliday Companies opens nearly 650 North Texas homes this weekend, giving buyers a rare chance to tour listings without an appointment.
The Ebby Halliday Companies will open close to 650 properties across North Texas over a single weekend, letting buyers walk listings without an appointment or an agent call first.
Three firms are behind the Spring Home Tour: Ebby Halliday Realtors, Dave Perry-Miller Real Estate, and Williams Trew. Together they’re putting more open-door inventory on the market in two days than most buyers encounter across months of scheduled showings. The event covers communities throughout the region, Preston Hollow and the Park Cities among them, with listings stretching north along the Tollway to Frisco and west to Fort Worth.
That’s a lot of doors.
“For buyers who’ve been sitting on the sidelines watching slim inventory, a weekend like this compresses months of research into a Saturday afternoon,” said a spokesperson for the Ebby Halliday Companies.
For Preston Hollow buyers, the number 650 means something specific. Strait Lane and Deloache Avenue don’t see casual inventory. The Dallas residential real estate market ran tight through late 2025 and hasn’t loosened appreciably heading into spring 2026, with days-on-market figures in the upper price brackets staying stubbornly compressed and sellers showing little inclination to negotiate on list price. County appraisal data show median sale prices in the Park Cities held above $1.5 million through the first quarter of 2026. Buyers don’t have the whip hand here, and they haven’t for a while.
What a coordinated open house push does is change the math on time, not on price. A buyer who walks six to eight properties on Sunday afternoon builds the kind of comparative picture that would ordinarily take three weeks of scheduled showings to assemble. Finishes, lot lines, ceiling heights, how a house sits on the street. Those details don’t live in the listing photos.
The tour format serves sellers just as directly. Coordinated traffic across all three Ebby Halliday Companies brands reaches buyers who might be working with any one of the three firms, and the volume of foot traffic a single open weekend generates isn’t something a standard showing schedule can replicate. Dave Perry-Miller Real Estate has long been the dominant presence in Preston Hollow and the Park Cities, handling a substantial share of transactions on the streets that matter most to this neighborhood. Williams Trew covers Fort Worth and the western suburbs. Ebby Halliday Realtors runs the broader DFW footprint, from Frisco south to Cedar Hill.
It’s a wide net, and it’s Coordinated deliberately.
The Texas Real Estate Research Center at Texas A&M has tracked tightening conditions across North Texas markets through 2025 into 2026, with supply constraints most acute in the upper brackets where Preston Hollow sits. That context makes a weekend event pushing 600-plus properties into simultaneous availability more than a marketing exercise. It’s a practical data-gathering opportunity for buyers who are still deciding between a renovated property on a quiet interior street and new construction closer to Preston Center.
The mechanics aren’t complicated. Properties appear on the Ebby Halliday Companies’ websites and through their agents. Open house signs go up Sunday morning. Buyers move through at their own pace, no appointment required, no obligation created. That low-friction entry point is the point. Buyers who wouldn’t commit to a formal showing on a property they’re only half-interested in will walk through an open house, and sometimes that half-interest becomes a contract.
The Spring Home Tour runs this weekend. For serious buyers who’ve been watching the 2025 and 2026 Preston Hollow market wait for movement that hasn’t come, 18 open properties on a single Sunday afternoon would be a productive day. This weekend offers considerably more than 18.
