300,000 to 600,000 Tarrant County Real Estate Market Update: Why Balance Favors the Prepared

The Spring Frenzy Is Gone — But the Smart Sellers Are Just Getting Started

Inventory’s climbing, days on market are stretching, and sellers across Tarrant County are realizing this isn’t spring anymore. But that doesn’t mean opportunity’s gone it just means the rules have changed.

If you’re selling a home between $300,000 and $600,000, this is your market segment and how you move now will shape your results for the next 90 days.

📊 The Numbers Behind the Shift

• Active listings: 5,866 — up 41% from 2023

• Months of supply: 3.9 — up 40% year-over-year

• Median days on market: 38 — up 75%

• List-to-original-price ratio: 98.1%

What does that mean? More homes competing for attention and buyers are getting selective again. Homes that fly off the market today are the ones that price with the trend, not against it.

💡 The Smart Seller Strategy

Buyers have options. They’re patient, informed, and often leveraging tools like the Smart Buyer Advantage Program to negotiate clean, confident deals.

This program bundles:

• Seller and builder credits

• Lender-paid incentives

• Escrow refunds

• Post-closing rebates

The catch? It works best when sellers play along. Homes positioned as “Smart Seller Approved” move faster and attract stronger offers because they signal cooperation not desperation.

🏡 What the Market’s Saying

• New listings: 2,204 — down 9.2% YoY

• Closed sales: 1,455 — down 5%, yet 12.6% higher than 2023

• Median price: $381,000 — up slightly (1.6%)

This isn’t a crash it’s a return to balance. And balance favors the prepared. Sellers who refresh, restage, and rethink pricing before the new year are set to outperform their competition in early 2026.

If you’re thinking about selling don’t wait for the spring crowd. Early movers are getting cleaner offers and fewer concessions.
