Fort Worth Home Values

Fort Worth's housing stock splits along a clear divide. The outer ring — south toward Crowley, north past Saginaw, west into Aledo — is dominated by D.R. Horton production builds: single-story, four-bedroom open-concept plans on 5,500-to-6,500-square-foot lots with granite, gas ranges, and vinyl plank throughout. Closer in, established neighborhoods like Meadowbrook, Ridglea Hills, and Arlington Heights hold mid-century brick ranches and 1950s bungalows on larger lots, many getting gut-renovated with modern kitchens and updated baths. The new construction volume here is unusual for a city this size — Fort Worth is building outward fast, and the older core is renovating to keep pace.

Fort Worth's price per square foot held at roughly $178 over the trailing three months — about $7 below the Tarrant County median of $185 — while sellers gave back just under three cents on the dollar at close. Nearly two in three sellers offered concessions on Fort Worth closings, a rate running several points above the county average and consistent with a market where buyers carry meaningful negotiating position. Homes that closed took roughly 41 days from list to contract — six days longer than the Tarrant County pace. Based on MLS data for May 2026 closings in Fort Worth, year-over-year values have moved less than a fraction of a percent.

Active inventory in Fort Worth stood at roughly 5,600 homes at the close of the period, supporting six months of supply — the conventional threshold between balanced and buyer-favoring conditions. Pending contracts remained under 900 while more than 5,000 new listings entered the market in the same window, keeping supply pressure elevated. The pace at which listings are moving has also trailed the county: Fort Worth's days-on-market trend runs about six days behind Tarrant County's, pointing toward continued demand softness in the near term.
