Fort Worth TX Housing Market Update – March 2025
Fort Worth's housing market remains active, with inventory gradually rising and buyer activity holding steady. While prices have stabilized, homes are selling faster than the month before—indicating a renewed sense of urgency from buyers, even as the market inches toward balance.
Let’s dive into the March numbers and what they mean for buyers, sellers, and investors this season.
Market Supply: Steady Growth in Inventory
Months of Inventory: 4.3
Month-over-Month Change: +2.63%
12-Month Change: +38.71%
Inventory increased again in March, bringing the market to 4.3 months of supply. That keeps Fort Worth in a balanced range, but it’s inching closer to buyer-friendly territory as more listings come online.
Sellers are no longer in full control—more options mean buyers can afford to be picky. But this is still a healthy market for well-priced, well-prepared homes. Expect more competition heading into late spring, especially in the $300K–$400K range.
Sales Pace: Homes Selling Faster Again
Median Days on Market: 45
Month-over-Month Change: -26.23%
Despite rising inventory, homes are moving faster. Median Days on Market dropped by over 26%, showing that buyer urgency is picking back up—likely driven by improved affordability and stabilizing rates.
Well-positioned homes are still receiving quick attention, especially those with recent updates, clean presentation, and pricing that aligns with comps. This is a key window for sellers to take advantage of current demand before summer inventory expands further.
Pricing Trends: Stability in Sales, Drop in Valuations
Median Sold Price: $330,000
Month-over-Month Change: +0.3%
Median Estimated Property Value: $317,220
Month-over-Month Change: -1.9%
12-Month Change: -2.1%
Sale prices remained flat in March, while estimated property values declined again. This growing disparity between appraisals and market activity could present challenges during contract-to-close. Sellers should be ready with supporting comps; buyers may find opportunity to renegotiate when values don’t align.
Price Per Square Foot: Modest But Consistent Growth
Active Listings: $188/sqft (+2.2% MoM)
Pending Listings: $183/sqft (+1.7% MoM)
Sold Listings: $179/sqft (+2.3% MoM)
The upward trend in $/sqft continues across active, pending, and sold properties—showing a market that’s still moving, with buyers paying solid prices when homes meet their expectations. The narrow margin between listing and closing prices suggests pricing is stable and rational, not speculative.
Strategic Insights
For Sellers
Even in a more balanced market, speed is on your side—if you're priced right. Homes are selling faster, and buyers are still active. Focus on turnkey presentation, solid pricing based on sold comps (not actives), and list before competition ramps up in Q2.
For Buyers
Inventory is rising, but demand hasn’t disappeared. Be ready to act fast on homes that are updated and fairly priced—especially those under $350K. But in cases of appraisal gaps or dated finishes, negotiate firmly and use that leverage to your advantage.
For Investors
Flat sale prices and declining valuations are a classic sign of a short-term opportunity. Look for homes selling below $175/sqft with cosmetic value-add potential. With homes moving faster again, the right deal could turn over within 60 days in today’s conditions.
Final Thoughts
Fort Worth’s market is still moving—but with more balance than we’ve seen in years. Sellers are regaining momentum after a quiet winter, and buyers are shopping with focus. This isn’t a market for hesitation—it’s a market for execution.
Let’s build a move that’s backed by data and timed for results.
