Fort Worth, TX Housing Market 2026: What Homes Actually Sell For

Fort Worth closes a lot of homes into a narrow band, which makes its median unusually informative: sales over the last six months land close together, so the citywide number is a real anchor rather than an average of extremes.

The snapshot

• •Closings tracked, last 6 months: 5,507
• •Median sold price, last 6 months: $333,000
• •Median sold $/sqft, last 6 months: $177
• •Middle half of sales closed between: $275,000 and $410,000

What the numbers say

Resideline tracked 5,507 closed sales in Fort Worth over the last six months, with a median closing price of $333,000. That median is the midpoint of what buyers actually paid, not what sellers hoped to get, which is why it moves differently from the asking prices you see on listing sites. The middle half of those sales closed between $275,000 and $410,000. That spread matters more than the headline median: where a specific property sits inside it decides whether the citywide number helps you or misleads you. These are the closings Resideline tracks and may differ from complete county or municipal records. The large tracked sample provides substantial market-level evidence. 96% of the Fort Worth closings we track here are single-family houses, so these figures primarily reflect that segment, and the citywide $/sqft figure primarily reflects that segment as well. Across the 5,505 closings with usable living area, the middle half sold between $155 and $201 per square foot.

The Fort Worth angle

Of the markets Resideline tracks, Fort Worth's closed-sale band is tighter than most, and that changes what the median is good for. Across 5,507 closings Resideline tracked over the last six months, the median closed sale price was $333,000, and the middle half of sales closed between $275,000 and $410,000. A narrow middle half means closings cluster, so the citywide figure is a genuinely informative anchor and the burden shifts onto establishing that your subject is an ordinary example of what trades here. Comp depth sits in the top 10% we track, so when a property looks unusual you have the volume to isolate a set that resembles it instead of falling back on the citywide number.

From market read to offer price

A tight market makes the next step easier: the citywide anchor sits close to most homes, and a report only has to explain the gap. The decision still comes down to one property and one number: what it is actually worth and what you should pay. Every Resideline report opens with this same market snapshot for the subject's exact ZIP code, then gives you the property's value, the sold comps behind it, and a market rent estimate. Pricing a specific deal? The free ARV calculator and rental property calculator run the numbers in about a minute.

And we show our work. Every estimate is frozen while the home is for sale and graded against the real closing price after it sells. As of August 2026, the public scoreboard showed 3.26% median error across 12,508+ graded closings. See the live accuracy dashboard for the receipts, or read how the Area Market Snapshot works.

Run any Fort Worth address through Resideline and you will see the local market and the property's value together, in one report.
