Fort Worth Market Report
The headlines say one thing. Your neighborhood may be doing something else entirely.
Fort Worth market data tells you what the city did. It does not tell you what Tanglewood did, or Westover Hills, or Fairmount. Every neighborhood in this city moves differently.
Helen Painter Group has been watching the Fort Worth market since 1958. Not the DFW market. Not the Texas market. This specific city, these specific streets. Our monthly report puts the numbers in context — what the data means for your neighborhood, your price range, and your decision.

Fort Worth — DFW ranking
PwC / ULI Emerging Trends in Real Estate 2026
Dallas-Fort Worth was ranked the No. 1 real estate market in the United States for the second consecutive year by PwC and the Urban Land Institute’s Emerging Trends in Real Estate 2026 report. Strong job growth. Corporate migration. A diversified economy. Fort Worth sits at the center of it.
At the same time, 2025 was a year of recalibration. Inventory grew. Homes sat longer. Buyers re-entered with leverage they have not had since 2019. The rapid seller’s market of 2020-2022 is over. What replaced it is a market that rewards preparation and accurate pricing — which is exactly what the Helen Painter Preview is built to deliver.

Beyond the data
The number is only part of the story.
A market report tells you what happened. It does not tell you what to do about it.
—
Should you list now or wait?
—
Should you buy before rates shift?
—
Is your neighborhood at the top of its range or still building?
These are not questions the data answers on its own.
