In Fort Worth, 46.4% of the 6,051 homes that closed between May and October 2026 sold after at least one price cut. The median cut was 4.4% ($15,001) off the original asking price, and homes that were cut went on to sell for a median 93.8% of their first list price, against 100.0% for homes that were never reduced. For comparison, Realtor.com counted 26.4% of active Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington listings with a price reduction in October 2026; that counts listings on the market in one month, while our figure counts homes that actually sold over six months.

46.4% of Fort Worth closings from May through October 2026 sold after at least one price cut. Counting every closing, cut or not, 71.3% closed below the original asking price. Cut homes sat a median 64 days on the market, against 13 days for homes that were never reduced.

Fort Worth cuts were common but small. The median cut, 4.4% or $15,001, is the smallest of the ten cities in this series in dollars and tied with San Diego for the smallest in percentage terms, and a third of Fort Worth cuts (33.3%) were under 3%.
What a price cut tells a buyer in Fort Worth
Fort Worth homes that were cut then closed at a median 98.9% of the reduced price, so the discount stacked: the typical cut home sold at 93.8% of its original asking price, a median $22,900 below the first list price. Homes that were never reduced sold at a median 100.0% of their asking price.
33.3% of cut homes were reduced by less than 3%, 22.6% by 3 to 5%, 28.7% by 5 to 10% and 15.4% by 10% or more. That 93.8% is the mildest stacked discount of the ten cities in this series. On the other Texas pages, cut homes closed at 91.4% of their first price in Houston, 90.7% in Dallas and 90.0% in Austin.

Price cuts by price range in Fort Worth
| Price range | Closings | Share with a cut | Median cut | Median cut ($) | Sale to original list | Median days on market |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Under $500K | 5,056 | 46.8% | 4.3% | $15,000 | 97.2% | 32 |
| $500K to $750K | 699 | 46.4% | 4.3% | $27,818 | 96.7% | 36 |
| $750K to $1M | 158 | 41.1% | 5.0% | $50,000 | 97.2% | 42 |
| $1M to $1.5M | 84 | 35.7% | 7.1% | $100,000 | 94.6% | 33 |
| $1.5M to $2M | 32 | 28.1% | 4.3% | $75,000 | 96.0% | 23 |
| $2M to $3M | 15 | 60.0% | 5.7% | $151,000 | 92.8% | 66 |
Under $1 million the share of cut homes barely moves, from 46.8% under $500,000 to 41.1% from $750,000 to $1 million. The $2 million to $3 million row rests on only 15 closings, so read its 60.0% as a small sample, and Fort Worth had too few sales of $3 million and up for a row (fewer than 12).
Price cuts by home type in Fort Worth
| Home type | Closings | Share with a cut | Median cut | Median cut ($) | Sale to original list | Median days on market |

The share of cut homes is nearly flat across home types, 46.0% to 46.4%, but condo cuts were deeper (a median 6.6% against 4.3% for single-family homes), and condos closed at 93.1% of their original ask against 97.2%. Condos and townhouses are a small part of Fort Worth sales: 97 and 100 closings, against 5,854 single-family homes.

How our numbers compare with Realtor.com and Redfin
Realtor.com counted 26.4% of active Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington listings with a price reduction in October 2026, down 1.8 points from a year earlier. Nationally, Realtor.com's October 2026 price-reduced share was 20.5% (preliminary; the highest October share since 2022), and Redfin found 21.2% of U.S. listings had a price drop in the four weeks ending November 1, 2026, against 20.6% a year earlier. Our Fort Worth figure is 46.4%.
Portal figures count homes for sale that had a cut during one period, across a whole metro. Our figure counts homes in the city that actually sold after at least one cut over six months, and then shows what they sold for against their original asking price. A listing that was cut and has not sold, or was taken off the market, counts in the portal figures but not in ours.
Redfin counted 8% fewer new listings in Fort Worth than a year earlier in the four weeks ending November 1, 2026.
Realtor.com's 26.4% is a Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington metro figure, the same one the Dallas page uses. It fell 1.8 points from a year earlier, and our Fort Worth share fell from 50.0% to 46.4%.

How to use a price cut when you make an offer in Fort Worth
In Fort Worth a cut is common but small. A cut home sold for a median 98.9% of its reduced price, so the reduced price tends to land close to the final price rather than open the door to a large further discount.
Where you shop changes the picture. In Fort Worth District 6, Hamlet and Walsh Ranch, more than half of sales came after a cut, and Walsh Ranch homes sat a median 56 days, so a listing that has been on the market a while is normal there. In Far North Fort Worth homes sold in a median 15 days, and Heritage sales closed at a median 98.9% of the original ask.
Of the 34 TurboHome Texas buyers who closed between November 2025 and October 2026 with both list prices recorded, 8 bought a home that had already been cut; those homes closed at a median 91.1% of the original asking price, and 6 of the 8 negotiated further below the reduced price. That is a small sample, so treat it as an illustration rather than a rate.
Before a TurboHome buyer writes an offer, their agent runs a comparable-based valuation of the home and an AI offer-acceptance prediction, so the offer price rests on recent sales of similar homes rather than on the asking price or the size of a cut. See also how long Fort Worth homes take to sell.
Methodology
Source: TurboHome's MLS closings data (our MLS feed), closings from May 1 to October 31, 2026, compared with May 1 to October 31, 2025.
Filters: single-family homes, condos and townhouses; a close price of $50,000 or more; original and final list price both recorded; and a final list price between 40% to 150% of the original list price, which removes relists and data errors.
Definitions: a price cut means the final list price at sale was below the original list price. The median cut is measured only on homes that were cut. Sale to original list is the close price divided by the original list price, the full discount from the first asking price; sale to reduced list is the close price divided by the final, reduced list price. Days on market uses recorded values from 0 to 730 days. Prices, cuts, ratios and days on market are medians.
Thresholds: neighborhood tables show the 25 neighborhoods with the most closings among those with at least 20 closings in the 2026 window, or every qualifying neighborhood where fewer qualified. Price range and home type rows need at least 12 closings.
Portal figures: Realtor.com, October 2026 Housing Report, published November 4, 2026, checked November 14, 2026. Its price-reduced share counts active listings with a price reduction during the month. Redfin, Housing Market Update, November 5, 2026, checked November 14, 2026. Its figure is the share of U.S. listings with a price drop in the four weeks ending November 1, 2026. Portal figures count homes for sale that had a cut during one period, across a whole metro. Our figure counts homes in the city that actually sold after at least one cut over six months, and then shows what they sold for against their original asking price. A listing that was cut and has not sold, or was taken off the market, counts in the portal figures but not in ours.
TurboHome figures: TurboHome's own closings from November 1, 2025 to October 31, 2026 over $50,000 with both the original and the final list price recorded. The 247 California and 34 Texas counts are closings with both prices recorded, not total closings, and Texas is a small sample.
