What this means for your offer in Fort Worth (local commentary)
Fort Worth is slower than Dallas and Houston on time but the stingiest on discounts. The median home took 38 days to go under contract between August and October 2026 (36 a year earlier), 27% sold within two weeks and 32% took longer than 60 days, yet the median sale-to-list ratio rose to 99.1% from 98.8% and the share selling below asking fell from 59% to 56%. The discount curve is the flattest in our feed: homes past 90 days closed at a median 98.5% of asking, only $5,000 below, against $15,000 in Dallas and $10,000 in Houston. Single-family homes, 2,429 of the 2,527 closings, took 37 days; condos took 53 days and closed at 96.4%. Homes under $500,000 (84% of the market) took 35 days, while $500,000 to $750,000 homes took 51 days and 43% sat past 60 days. Far North Fort Worth (11.5 days, 56% within two weeks), Wedgwood (17) and Garden Acres (22) are the quickest; Walsh Ranch, a new-build community, took 62 days with 51% past 60 days and closed at 97.7%, and Marine Creek took 47 days.
- Check the days on market first. Before you write the offer, see how long the listing has been active and which row of the table above it falls in.
- In the first two weeks, compete on terms. Homes that sold in their first week closed at a median 100.0% of asking in Fort Worth, and those at 8 to 14 days at 100.0%, so make the offer clean rather than low.
- After 30 days, anchor on the 31 to 60 day ratio. Homes in that range closed at a median 98.8% of asking ($4,900 below asking); use it as the realistic starting point and ask for repairs or credits.
- After 60 or 90 days, start from the median gap. Homes at 61 to 90 days closed at a median 98.4% of asking ($5,000 below asking) and homes past 90 days at 98.5% ($5,000 below asking); check the listing for price cuts and relistings before you offer.
- Use the neighborhood and price tables. A fast neighborhood inside a slow city, or the reverse, changes the right strategy: in Fort Worth, Far North Fort Worth had a median of 11.5 days and Walsh Ranch 62.
Methodology
We looked at closings of single family homes, condos, townhouses and, where present, tenancy in common and duplex properties in Fort Worth from our MLS feed, closed August 1 through October 31, 2026 (2,527 closings with a days on market value), compared with closings from August 1 through October 31, 2025 (2,735 closings). Days on market is the days between the listing date and the accepted offer as reported by the MLS; listings with no days on market value or more than 730 days are excluded. Sale-to-list is the closing price divided by the final asking price; figures are medians. "Share sold above asking" is the share of closings where the sale price exceeded the final asking price. Neighborhoods need at least 20 closings in the window to appear. Published November 2026.
