Although the four counties in the greater Fort Worth area experienced annual sales declines in July, the overall housing market was steady with certain pockets “showing more movement,” the Greater Fort Worth Association of REALTORS® said in its latest housing report.
“The housing market is a good barometer for the state of our region’s economy,” President Shawn Buck said in a press release. “We aren’t experiencing the same wild fluctuations as markets across the country similar in size. This is a testament, in part, to the business community attracting new businesses and people to the region, which has a tremendous trickle-down effect.”
