The greater Fort Worth housing market was relatively steady in August, the Greater Fort Worth Association of REALTORS® said in its latest housing report.
In Fort Worth proper, active listings declined 6.9% to 3,327, while closed home sales fell 8.2% to 841. Meanwhile, the median home price slid 0.8% to $327,500.
“We are beginning to see inventory dip slightly in much of the region,” GFWAR President Shawn Buck said in a press release. “If inventory continues to fall below the balanced range of four to six months, we will likely see more homes with multiple offers and higher median home prices across the board. A balanced market is advantageous for the economy as it usually means there are more options out there at various price points.”
The typical home sold in 86 days — 54 days for sale, plus 32 days to close. Given the rate of sales, the city had a 3.7-month inventory, down from 4.1 months in August 2025.
