What the current numbers mean for your side of the transaction.

Fort Worth and DFW housing market guides: months of supply, days on market, sale-to-list ratios, and who actually holds leverage right now.

All articles

Market coverage is usually either a press release or a scare headline. These guides do neither. They take the same monthly NTREIS, Zillow, and M&D Real Estate figures Conner pulls for his own clients and work out what each one changes about pricing a listing or writing an offer.

As of May 2026 Fort Worth sits at a $319,999 median sale price, 29 median days on market, a 95.0% sale-to-list ratio, and 2.5 months of supply. Under 4.0 months still leans seller, but every negotiation measure has moved toward buyers for three years running, and which half applies to you depends on your price band and the condition of the house. Every guide names the source and the date behind each figure so you can check it.

For the full monthly data set, including submarket bands and the inventory trend, the market report is updated as each release lands.

By months of supply it is still a seller’s market: Fort Worth sits at 2.5 months as of May 2026, and anything under 4.0 leans seller. By negotiation it is a different market than 2022, with sale-to-list down to 95.0%, days on market up to 29, and active inventory up 18.4% year over year.

Are Fort Worth home prices falling?

They have plateaued rather than fallen. The median sale price is $319,999, flat year over year, after peaking near $334,900 in mid-2024 and dipping to about $305,000 through 2025. Zillow’s broader index reads $299,655, down 2.5%, with a 12-month forecast of $292,000.

How often is this market data updated?

Monthly, as each source releases. The current read pulls the M&D Real Estate DFW report for May 2026, an NTREIS Tarrant County inventory read for the week of 2026-05-19, and the Zillow Home Value Index for April 2026. Conner will pull the same figures at zip-code level in a free consultation.
