From Arlington Heights at $287/sq ft to Summer Creek at $135/sq ft, the listed neighborhoods span a ratio of 2.1 to 1. 12 of the 25 sit above the citywide median of $175/sq ft. Over the year, Lake Country rose the most (+4.6%, from $173 to $181/sq ft), and Como fell the most (-6.8%, from $191 to $178/sq ft). 4 of the 25 neighborhoods with a comparison rose.
Arlington Heights stands apart at $287/sq ft, well clear of Ridglea Hills ($229) and Walsh Ranch ($211). Below those three the list is tightly bunched: every other listed neighborhood falls between $135 and $194/sq ft, so in most of Fort Worth the neighborhood moves the per-foot price far less than it does in Dallas or Austin.
Northwest Fort Worth Community Alliance has by far the most closings of any listed neighborhood (756) and sits at $174/sq ft, next to the citywide $175. Per-foot price and total price do not line up here: Summer Creek is the cheapest per foot at $135, yet its median home sold for $340,000 at 2,425 sq ft, more than Como's $245,000 at $178/sq ft.
Only 4 of the 25 rose over the year (Lake Country, Park Glen, Ridglea Hills and South Hills). After Como, the biggest drops were Summer Creek (-5.6%) and Fort Worth District 6 (-5.3%).

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Under $500,000 | 9,211 | $170 | $317,500 | 1,831 |
| $500,000 to $750,000 | 1,251 | $205 | $580,000 | 2,880 |

| $2M to $3M | 39 | $474 | $2,440,000 | 5,211 |
Fort Worth's per-foot price rises with every price band, from $170 under $500,000, where 9,211 of the 11,024 closings sit, to $474 at $2M to $3M. The table stops there because only 12 homes sold for $3M and up, too few for a reliable median.
Does a smaller home cost more per square foot in Fort Worth?
| Living area | Closings | Median $/sq ft | Median price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under 1,000 sq ft | 314 | $196 | $165,000 |
| 1,000 to 1,499 sq ft | 1,857 | $187 | $250,000 |
| 1,500 to 1,999 sq ft | 3,641 | $178 | $309,999 |
| 2,000 to 2,999 sq ft | 3,749 | $166 | $384,888 |
| 3,000 sq ft and up | 1,463 | $169 | $590,000 |
Homes under 1,000 sq ft closed at a median $196/sq ft, against $166/sq ft for homes of 2,000 to 2,999 sq ft (+18%). Homes of 3,000 sq ft and up closed at $169/sq ft.
Fort Worth is one of two cities in this series, with Austin, where the per-foot price falls as homes get bigger. It drops with each band from $196 under 1,000 sq ft to $166 at 2,000 to 2,999 sq ft, then edges up to $169 at 3,000 sq ft and up, so a small home costs more per foot even though its total price is far lower ($165,000 against $384,888).
How Fort Worth price per square foot changed over the last year
The citywide median was down 1.1%: $175/sq ft on 11,024 closings, against $177/sq ft on 10,958 closings a year earlier. The median sale price went from $342,210 to $335,500. By home type: single-family down 0.6% ($176 to $175), condo up 2.2% ($229 to $234) and townhouse down 2.2% ($185 to $181).

| December 2025 | 934 | $174 |
| January 2026 | 535 | $173 |
| February 2026 | 708 | $172 |
| March 2026 | 1,036 | $177 |
| April 2026 | 1,047 | $176 |
| May 2026 | 1,166 | $177 |

| September 2026 | 862 | $174 |
| October 2026 | 749 | $173 |
By closing month, the median ran from a low of $172/sq ft in November 2025 and February 2026 to a high of $177/sq ft in March 2026, May 2026 and June 2026. The latest month, October 2026, came in at $173/sq ft. The whole year moved within a $5 band, so in Fort Worth the month you buy in made little difference to the per-foot price.
How to use price per square foot when you make an offer in Fort Worth
Price per square foot is a quick way to spot a listing that looks expensive or cheap. Three checks make it useful before you set an offer:
- Compare within the neighborhood and home type. Fort Worth single-family homes went for $175/sq ft and condos for $234/sq ft, and the listed neighborhoods run from $135 to $287/sq ft, so a citywide average can be far off for any one home.
- Adjust for size. Homes under 1,000 sq ft closed at $196/sq ft in Fort Worth, against $166/sq ft for 2,000 to 2,999 sq ft, so compare a listing only with homes of a similar size.
- Check the sale-to-list ratio. The median Fort Worth home closed at 99.1% of its list price, so buyers typically closed a little below list, and a listing's per-foot asking price is a ceiling more often than a floor.
On TurboHome's own Texas closings from November 1, 2025 to October 31, 2026, a small sample of 38, buyers paid a median $204/sq ft against a median list price of $202/sq ft (34 closings with a recorded living area), and 59.5% of 37 closings were below the list price. Across the four Texas cities in this series, the median home closed at 97.3% to 99.1% of its list price, and Fort Worth's 99.1% is the highest of the four.
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 a citywide average.

Methodology
Source: TurboHome's MLS closings data (our MLS feed), closings from November 1, 2025 to October 31, 2026, compared with November 1, 2024 to October 31, 2025.
Filters: closed price of at least $50,000, living area of at least 200 sq ft, price per square foot between $20 and $5,000, and single-family homes, condos and townhouses only. Price per square foot is the closed price divided by the recorded living area.
Neighborhoods: the 25 highest-volume neighborhoods with at least 20 closings in the window, sorted by median price per square foot. The single-family and condo columns show a value only where that type had 12 or more closings, and the year-over-year change only where the neighborhood had 12 or more closings a year earlier. A home type gets its own row only with 30 or more closings.
Every figure is a median: price per square foot, sale price, living area and sale-to-list ratio. The middle half is the 25th to 75th percentile.
Notes for Fort Worth:
- Fort Worth closings come from NTREIS, the MLS that covers Dallas and Fort Worth.
FAQ
What is a good price per square foot in Fort Worth?
It depends on the neighborhood, home type and size. Citywide, Fort Worth homes closed at a median $175/sq ft over the last 12 months, and the middle half sold between $153 and $198/sq ft. A good price for a specific home is one in line with recent sales of similar homes nearby: listed neighborhoods ranged from $135/sq ft in Summer Creek to $287/sq ft in Arlington Heights.
Which Fort Worth neighborhood has the highest price per square foot?
Arlington Heights, at a median $287/sq ft on 110 closings, followed by Ridglea Hills ($229) and Walsh Ranch ($211). The least expensive of the 25 listed neighborhoods is Summer Creek at $135/sq ft.
Why do smaller homes cost more per square foot in Fort Worth?
In Fort Worth, homes under 1,000 sq ft closed at a median $196/sq ft, 18% more than the $166 for homes of 2,000 to 2,999 sq ft, while their median price was $165,000 against $384,888. A common reason is that parts of every home, such as the lot, the kitchen and the bathrooms, cost about the same whatever its size, so they add more per foot to a small home.
Is price per square foot a good way to value a home?
It is a useful first check, not a valuation. The per-foot number moves with neighborhood, home type, size, condition and lot, and in Fort Worth the listed neighborhoods sit 2.1 to 1 apart, so compare a home only with recent sales of similar homes nearby. TurboHome agents price an offer from a comparable-based valuation instead of a citywide average.
Is a buyer's agent rebate worth it in Fort Worth?
For most buyers, yes. The buyer-side commission is a percentage of the price, and at Fort Worth's median sale price of $335,500 a refund of part of it lowers what you pay at closing. TurboHome charges a flat fee instead of a percentage commission and refunds the rest of the buyer-side commission at closing; compare the companies that refund the buyer's agent commission in Texas.
