Lakeside Market Brief · 75065 · June 2026
Prepared by Lori Gladstone · eXp Realty, LLC
A three-year look at June–September sales volume across Hickory Creek and Lake Dallas — and a pricing strategy to list 210 Derby Ln aggressively while protecting your maximum value.
01 — Overview
The 75065 ZIP spans two adjacent communities with distinct profiles. Hickory Creek is the higher-priced, more competitive submarket (3-month median around $525K), while Lake Dallas sits lower and more affordable (around $357K). Blended, the ZIP's median sale price was $430K in August 2025, up 6.2% year over year.
Across the past three June–September windows, June has consistently been the highest-volume month, driven by family relocations timed to the school calendar. The strongest overall summer was 2025 — August alone recorded 53 closed sales, up 23% from 43 the prior August.
List in the early-summer window to ride peak demand. Price near $465,000 — aggressive enough to maximize value, supportable by Steeplechase North comps — and use staging and sharp marketing to drive competing offers rather than chasing the price down later.
02 — Summer Sales Volume
Monthly closed sales for ZIP 75065 (Hickory Creek + Lake Dallas combined). Verified anchors are gold; other months are modeled from those anchors and the regional seasonal pattern.

03 — Current Market Snapshot
Hickory Creek remains the more competitive of the two — many homes draw multiple offers and go pending in under 40 days — while Lake Dallas has slowed. Both currently sell at roughly 96–98% of list price: a textbook balanced market that rewards accurate, confident pricing.
04 — Subject Property
210 Derby Ln, Hickory Creek (Lake Dallas mailing), TX 75065
Built in 2015 on a cul-de-sac interior lot (0.158 acre) in the desirable Steeplechase North addition, the home offers a single-story open floor plan with granite counters, stainless appliances, a gas fireplace, a tray-ceiling primary suite with garden tub and separate shower, and a covered patio. The 3-car garage and oversized driveway are genuine differentiators at this price point.

As the smallest 3-bed/2-bath configuration on the street, 210 Derby should price below the 4-bed comps reaching $493K–$525K — but its lot position and 3-car garage justify the upper end of the 3-bed range. Comparable 3-bed homes of similar size estimate at $467K–$477K.
