January Housing Report
The Fort Worth area continues to boast a healthy housing market. The median home prices for Fort Worth ($323,450), Johnson County ($365,056), and Tarrant County ($341,999) all saw a year-over-year increase of 2.7%, 6.7%, and 2.1%, respectively. Parker County experienced a 10.7% year-over-year decrease in its median home price, yet it has the highest median price in the area at $421,500.
The area's inventory varies significantly. Tarrant County has three months of inventory with a 32.9% increase in active listings (5,644) and Fort Worth has 3.2 months of inventory and a 32.8% jump in active listings (2,822), indicating a seller’s market. Johnson and Parker counties have 4.8 and 4.9 months of inventory and an increase of 37% (1,184) and 15.7% (1,223) in active listings, respectively, which signals a more balanced market where buyers have more options.
“While the housing market has yet to hit the six-months-of-inventory goal, which will balance it out for buyers and sellers, inventory is increasing and slowing down large jumps in median home prices,” GFWAR President Paul Epperley said. “As we get closer to the spring home buying and selling season, we expect inventory to increase further, providing more home-buying options at various price points.”
Despite Parker County’s falling median home price, residential sales increased by 18.2% year-over-year. This suggests buyers opt for more affordable properties, leading to a shift in the price distribution. Johnson County saw a 5.2% decline in home sales despite a 6.7% increase in median home price, indicating higher-end home sales.
