Forney Home Values

For the third consecutive month, transactions in Forney closed faster than the prior stretch, with median days-to-close narrowing to 55 -- down from 65 across the trailing year and now matching Kaufman County's own pace of 54 days. Based on MLS data for July 2026 closings in Forney, price per square foot held near $154, a shade below the county's $159 and softer than Forney's own year-ago trailing average, consistent with a modestly negative year-over-year price trend. Sellers continued giving ground at the table, with nearly three in four sales carrying a concession averaging just under $11,000 -- a larger giveback than earlier in the year -- while the typical home still closed for about ninety-five cents on the dollar.

Forney's pipeline tells a more mixed story than the closing side suggests. Months of supply held essentially flat near eight, still above Kaufman County's own elevated reading, while active listings stayed level near 1,135. Pending contracts represented only a thin sliver of that active pool, a softer conversion rate than the county's pending share of its own inventory. New listings kept arriving at a steady quarterly pace, keeping the supply overhang intact even as individual sales moved through escrow more quickly.

While Kaufman County's median sale runs close to $300,000, Forney's closed transactions are landing roughly eight percent higher — yet that price premium does not translate into seller-friendly terms at the table. Based on MLS data for 2026-06 closings in Forney, nearly three in four completed sales included a seller concession averaging just over $10,000, a notably higher concession rate than the county-wide figure of about two-thirds of transactions. Price per square foot settled around $155, fractionally below the county benchmark of $159, and sellers received back just under ninety-five cents on the dollar at closing. The combination of a higher nominal price alongside wider concession exposure than neighboring county markets defines Forney's current negotiation landscape.

Forney's pipeline shows a market absorbing at a measured pace relative to Kaufman County overall. With roughly seven and a half months of supply — slightly tighter than the county's eight-plus months — Forney's active inventory is proportionally elevated against pending contracts, which represent fewer than one in five active listings. New listing volume over the latest quarter maintained steady replenishment, and the county's broader pending-to-active ratio suggests Forney's slower absorption is consistent with regional trends rather than a local outlier. Time-on-market has edged slightly lower than the prior period, a tentative signal that velocity may be stabilizing.

At roughly $156 per square foot, Forney's valuation has drifted slightly below the county median, part of a broader easing that has trimmed year-over-year sale prices by close to 4 percent. Based on MLS data for spring 2026 closings in Forney, sellers absorbed meaningful friction at the table — nearly seven in ten transactions included a seller concession averaging around $10,000, and the typical home settled about five and a half cents below its list price. Almost two-thirds of closed sales came in under asking, with the median transaction taking roughly 70 days from list to close.

With supply sitting at more than eight months, Forney's forward pipeline reflects a market that continues to favor buyers. Active inventory has expanded while pending contracts — currently representing roughly one in four active listings — indicate absorption is proceeding but slowly. New listing volume over the past three months has run at a pace consistent with continued supply growth, and the 70-day median close cycle suggests no near-term compression in time-on-market. Kaufman County overall shows slightly more supply pressure, pointing to Forney as a relatively active pocket within a soft county-wide market.
