"As expected, due to stay at home guidance, closed sales are down by almost one fourth compared to last year." said Shelby Kimball, 2020 President of the Greater Fort Worth Association of REALTORS®. "However, active listings declined less than 3% and prices rose by 6.2% We expect prices to remain stable or rise, and as the economy continues to open we expect the closed sales to catch up.”
