Fort Worth Home Values

Homes that closed in Fort Worth took longer to find buyers this quarter, with the median stretching to roughly 36 days from list to contract, about five days longer than in August and four days behind Tarrant County's pace. Based on MLS data for October 2026 closings in Fort Worth, price per square foot held near $178, roughly $6 below the county's $184, while the median sale price near $337,000 sat about two percent under August's level. Sellers received about 97.5 cents on the dollar, and just under two in three closings carried a concession averaging close to $7,800.

Pipeline signals in Fort Worth point to a slower handoff from listing to contract. Pending contracts stood near 385 against more than 4,300 new listings entering the market, while active inventory held close to 5,700 homes. Months of supply rose to roughly five and a third, up from about five last month and a touch above Tarrant County's reading. With contract timelines lengthening, supply is building gradually rather than abruptly, a pattern consistent with absorption lagging fresh listings.

A broader but shallower concession pattern took hold in Fort Worth this quarter, reversing two months of retreat: nearly two-thirds of closed transactions carried a seller concession, up from just over three in five in August, even as the average give-back slipped to roughly $7,500 — the smallest of the past several months. Based on MLS data for September 2026 closings in Fort Worth, sellers still received close to 98 cents on the dollar at close, essentially matching the trailing-twelve-month pace. Price per square foot held near $178, about $6 below Tarrant County's $184 median, with the county continuing to close deals several days faster.

Fort Worth's pipeline showed a modest reversal of its own this quarter: pending contracts edged up to just over 400 after several months of decline, while months of supply eased slightly to roughly five months from 5.3 previously. Active inventory held essentially flat near 5,800, and new listings pulled back further from the prior period's pace. Against Tarrant County's tighter five-month supply figure, Fort Worth's marginally looser pipeline still leaves sellers with less leverage than the county overall, though the pending rebound suggests that gap may be starting to close.

For a third straight month, closings in Fort Worth moved faster, with the median days from list to contract dropping to 31 — down from 34 in June and 41 back in the spring. Based on MLS data for July 2026 closings in Fort Worth, price per square foot ticked up to roughly $179, with the median sale price near $345,000. Sellers received about 98 cents on the dollar at closing, continuing a gradual climb from earlier in the year. Concession activity eased slightly, with just over three in five transactions still including a seller give-back, averaging roughly $7,800. Year-over-year prices remain essentially flat, and nearly 3,300 homes changed hands in the quarter.

Pending contracts in Fort Worth fell sharply this period, down to fewer than 800 after climbing past 1,700 in June, even as more than 5,100 new listings continued entering the market and active inventory edged up to nearly 5,800. Months of supply held at roughly five months, keeping conditions on the balanced side of the buyer-favoring threshold. The pullback in pending activity, arriving just as closed-sale timelines have been shortening, suggests the recent acceleration in absorption may be losing steam heading into late summer.
