Stability is the best description for May’s housing market. The Greater Fort Worth region’s housing market has kept steady year over year, while some markets across the country are experiencing a more significant decline in home sales and prices.

Fort Worth’s housing market remained steady in May, with the median home price decreasing slightly by 0.8% year over year to $335,250.

Months of inventory decreased slightly to 3.8 months, continuing the trend toward balanced market conditions.
“The leveling out of the region’s housing market is a great economic sign,” 2026 GFWAR President Shawn Buck said. “The exponential home price increases of years past were exciting, but they are not sustainable, plus it prices so many people out of our market. A stable market strengthens our region and allows first-time homebuyers to be more confident in finding a home and making a reasonable offer that will be accepted.”
