September 2025 Real Estate Market Update – Tarrant & Denton County, TX 

The North Texas housing market continues its shift toward a more balanced dynamic. After several years of strong seller-market conditions, the latest data for September 2025 shows that both Tarrant and Denton counties are experiencing more inventory, longer market times, and modest price changes.
Here’s a breakdown of the key numbers:

Tarrant County

• • Median listing home price: ~$365,000 (flat year-over-year) in September.

  • Median sold home price: ~$344,100 in September.

  • Average home value: ~$320,687, down ~3.5% over the past year.

Tarrant County is moving away from the ultra-tight seller’s market. While prices have held relatively steady, conditions are giving buyers more breathing room.

Denton County

• Median listing home price (Sept): ~$472,500 

• Median sale price: ~$435,000 in September, down ~6.5% year-over-year

• Median days on market: ~66 days in September, up from ~53 the prior year

In Denton County, we’re seeing clearer signs of a buyer-shift: prices declining, more days on market, and inventory rising. Sellers will increasingly need to adapt their strategy.

What It Means for Buyers & Sellers

For Buyers

• More inventory + longer market times = more negotiating power. You may see fewer bidding wars and more flexibility for concessions.
  
  

• A slightly cooling market means you can take more time choosing the right home rather than feeling forced into a quick move.
  
  

• Monitor interest-rate trends closely: with rates stabilizing or even dropping, this may be a favourable time to buy before too much price recovery happens.
  
  

For Sellers

• Proper pricing and presentation matter more than ever. In a market no longer strictly favouring sellers, homes priced too high or poorly staged are likely to sit longer.
  
  

• Consider offering perks or incentives (e.g., closing cost help, rate buydowns) to stand out among increased competition.
  
  

• Work with your agent to target your listing window wisely. Even though fall still brings active buyers, the strongest market advantage is fading, so speed and readiness matter.
  
  

🔍 Strategy Tips for This Fall

• Buyers: Focus on homes that have been on market > 30 days — these may offer the best value and more room to negotiate.
  
  

• Sellers: Choose an agent with a marketing-first plan (professional photography, strong online presence, active open-house strategy) to drive urgency before end-of-year slowdowns.
  
  

• Everyone: Stay local. Macro data is helpful, but neighbourhood-level trends often vary — school district, lot size, age of home, and condition will influence how these county-level signals apply to your property.
