Fort Worth Area Housing Report for August 2019

Don’t fear! It is normal to experience a drop in listings and closed sales, as the last few months of every year the market takes a breather for the holidays.

Key takeaway from this report is the days on market and days to close figures. If you are selling, the average home will take 68 days to receive a contract and for the sale to complete. This doesn’t include time to prepare a home for marketing on the front end of the process.

If you are thinking you might want to sell, these market stats are a good indicator that you should allow and expect an average of 90 days from start to finish. Wanting to sell in April next year? Start consulting with your REALTOR and begin the planning in January.
