Multiple offer situations continue to be the norm, as an unusual and highly competitive real estate market persisted into the spring. Homebuyers are struggling to find suitable options with only 0.9 months of inventory in Fort Worth and active listings down 55 percent from March 2020. 

In a virtual ceremony on Friday, April 9, the Greater Fort Worth Association of REALTORS® (GFWAR) recognized the following members for their unwavering dedication to advancing Fort Worth’s real estate industry.

Every April, REALTORS® around the country commemorate the passage of the Fair Housing Act of 1968 with events and education that shine a light on housing discrimination and segregation, and a recommitment to expanding equal access to housing. 

Inventory dropped to less than one month in Fort Worth during February 2021, as demand for houses continued to drive up prices in an unprecedented seller’s market in the DFW area.

In observance of Black History Month, GFWAR would like to shine a light on several of our members, past and present, who were trailblazers in their industry both as REALTORS® and as Black Americans.

Pent-up demand among homebuyers continued to increase in the new year, as housing inventory in Fort Worth held steady at historically low levels with just one month of available inventory in January 2021.

The Greater Fort Worth Association of REALTORS® has installed their 2021 Officers and Board of Directors via a virtual event supporting the association’s Educational Foundation. Elizabeth McCoy of Williams Trew has been tapped to lead the Association as President.

A new house was on the Christmas wish list for a lot of families, as the December Housing Report showed continued increased closed sales through the end of 2020. Pent-up demand led to a 23.4 percent increase year-over-year in Fort Worth home purchases, even as housing prices continued to rise. The median price for Fort Worth homes is now $258,900.

In the midst of economic uncertainty in the last quarter of 2020, the November Housing Report shows a continued strong real estate market. The median price for Fort Worth homes increased 11.1 percent year-over-year to $255,450 in November 2020. Fort Worth home sales also increased 10.8 percent during the same time frame.

Greater Fort Worth Association of REALTORS® welcomes Amanda Harrier and Andrea Greiner to the team.

The October Housing Report shows no sign of a slow down for the real estate market moving into the fall. The median price for Fort Worth homes increased 9.9 percent year-over-year to $255,000 in October 2020. Fort Worth home sales also increased 22.3 percent during the same time frame.

GFWAR is coming together to support teachers during a challenging time for schools.
