Market activity was varied around the Fort Worth area across the third quarter of the year, according to the latest report from the Greater Fort Worth Association of REALTORS®.
“A common phrase in real estate is that real estate is local, and it is becoming ever more evident as pockets of the region continue to experience tight inventory and increased median home prices and other areas are more stable,” GFWAR President Shawn Buck said in a press release. “What we would like to see is more home inventory enter the market, which will allow better movement, including opening opportunities for first-time homebuyers.”
In the city of Fort Worth, specifically, closed home sales declined 5.3% year over year during the quarter, with 2,701 sales. Active listings declined 1.8% to 3,426, and the median price dipped 0.3% to $329,000.
The city had a 3.9-month inventory, down from four months a year prior.
