In July 2024, Fort Worth home prices continued to rise, with the median reaching $347,153, a 6 percent increase from last year. Tarrant County also saw a modest 2.3 percent increase, with the median price at $362,250. Despite higher prices, inventory levels are up, with Fort Worth at 3.6 months and Tarrant County at 3.4 months, contributing to more balanced market conditions.
Mortgage rates fell to 6.47 percent in early August, the lowest in over a year, which could encourage more sellers to enter the market and ease affordability for buyers. Notably, sales are on the rise in Tarrant, Johnson, and Parker Counties, signaling a positive trend. Lawrence Yun of the National Association of REALTORS® highlighted that increased inventory is leading to more contract signings and placing buyers in a better position.
