Homes in most counties in the Fort Worth area spent more time on the market in October, according to the latest report from the Greater Fort Worth Association of REALTORS®.
However, President Shawn Buck cautioned that widespread trends are not indicative of every individual market.
“Real estate will always be hyper local,” Buck said in a press release. “Fort Worth is a growing region, and the housing stats we are seeing communicate that there is a still a rush to snap up a home when it becomes available. That said, now is the time to buy and sell, with prices, for the most part, holding steady and a decent amount of inventory to fill housing needs.”
In the city of Fort Worth, active listings increased 3.4% year over year to 3,494 as closed home sales fell 11.2% to 729. Typical homes spent 88 days on market, just one day more than a year prior.
Given the rate of sales, Fort Worth had a four-month inventory, up from 3.9 months in October 2025.
Meanwhile, the city’s median price dipped 1.8% to $319,175. Equal proportions of homes (32.4%) fell into the $200,000 to $300,000 price range and the $300,000 to $400,000 price range.
