The Fort Worth housing market was free from “significant fluctuations” in September, the Greater Fort Worth Association of REALTORS® said in its latest housing report.

Looking at Tarrant County, home sales rose 8.4% year over year, with 1,882 closings during the month. Active listings jumped 9.8% to 1,882 homes, bringing area inventory to a 3.8-month supply.

The county’s median price, meanwhile, held steady at $347,000, unchanged from last September.

Those metrics are good signs for buyers amid the uncertainty of a government shutdown, 2025 President Paul Epperley said.

“A steady, and in some cases upward, market trajectory is a good place to be in today’s economy,” said Epperley. “During the last government shutdown, there was a brief ebb in the housing market, so we will see how this year’s shutdown impacts the state of local housing in the coming weeks. The major hurdle that may delay homebuyers and sellers is the brief halt on government loans and insurance programs.”

The typical Tarrant County home stayed on the market for 82 days: 52 days on market — two days longer than September 2024 — plus an extra month to close.
