August 2025 Housing Report

If you are thinking about buying or selling a home in the Fort Worth area, the latest market update brings some interesting changes. According to the Greater Fort Worth Association of REALTORS®, the region is moving quickly toward a more balanced market. In fact, this shows the quick velocity of the increase to a buyers market. With inventory on the rise and homes spending a bit more time on the market, buyers are gaining some leverage and sellers are starting to face more competition.

In Fort Worth, housing inventory has climbed to 4.1 months, and active listings are up more than 12 percent. That means there are more options for buyers and more negotiating room, especially since over 60 percent of homes are still selling in the affordable $200,000 to $400,000 range. The median price sits at $330,125, making Fort Worth one of the more accessible markets in the region.

Tarrant County is seeing similar movement, with 3.9 months of inventory and a median home price of $350,000. While still slightly tilted in favor of sellers, the gap is closing. A jump in inventory means more competition for sellers and encourages more realistic pricing strategies. Areas like Parker and Johnson counties are already showing signs of full balance, with around five to six months of inventory, giving buyers even more breathing room.

Some local communities are experiencing major shifts. Aledo saw a huge spike in closed sales, while Granbury had a big jump in both listings and sales activity. These shifts are clear signs that the market is evolving quickly, and both buyers and sellers will need to adjust their strategies accordingly.

Whether you are looking to buy your first home or thinking about listing your property, now is a great time to pay close attention to these trends. More choices for buyers and increasing competition among sellers means this fall market could be a busy one.
