Arlington Home Values

Arlington's housing stock tells two distinct stories. The core inventory is 1970s and 1980s brick ranch homes — three-bed, two-bath layouts with wood-burning fireplaces, galley kitchens, and lots in the 7,000-square-foot range. Many have been updated with granite counters and luxury vinyl plank but retain their original footprints. North Arlington holds the oldest character, including 1950s mid-century homes on oversized lots with mature tree canopy and creek-side settings. The Viridian master-planned community anchors the higher end with build-to-rent townhomes alongside owner-occupied product. Near the stadium district, tri-level condos and small multiplexes serve the short-term rental market, while South Arlington draws families chasing Mansfield ISD zoning.

At roughly $182 per square foot, Arlington closings are running slightly below the Tarrant County median based on MLS data for May 2026 closings in Arlington. Sellers collected about 98 cents on the dollar, with more than half of all transactions including seller concessions averaging around $7,350. Just over a third of homes sold below asking price, and year-over-year values remain essentially flat — less than half a percent of movement in either direction. The roughly 742 closings in the recent quarter reflect steady transaction volume for a city this size, without clear directional pressure on per-square-foot valuations.

Supply in Arlington sits at roughly 5.2 months, a touch below the broader Tarrant County rate of 5.7 months, placing the market in moderately slow territory above the balanced threshold. Pending contracts number around 565 against 1,293 active listings, a ratio that reflects measured rather than urgent buyer demand. With approximately 1,250 new listings entering the market in the same quarter, the pipeline is replenishing at a rate that tracks closely with absorption, pointing toward continued supply stability rather than meaningful tightening.
