How we rank a house
What puts a Dallas house first
We start with every house in Dallas County that carries a signal. Then we look for the same house on a second list, and a third. A house with unpaid tax and an open code case, or a vacant house in probate, is a different conversation than either signal alone. Those are the houses a small mail or call budget goes to first.
Counts as of November 10, 2026. Recently sold houses are left out.
What the data says
Dallas, by the numbers
Observations computed from the flagged houses, not opinions. They move when the data does.
30% of flagged owners don't live in the house
149 houses have an owner whose mail goes somewhere else, and 15 of those owners are out of state. An absentee owner with a problem property is the classic seller.
19 houses are in probate right now
The owner has died and an estate is open. The contact is the executor or an heir, and the house is often the only asset they need to deal with.

About this page. The counts cover Dallas County, Texas, and are read from DealSherpa's own records, last updated November 10, 2026; the market has been tracked since October 2026. A flagged house is one with at least one of the signals listed above; it is not a listing, an offer or a guarantee that the owner will sell. Recently sold houses are excluded.
