Forney, TX Housing Market Update – Year-End 2025

Latest Update: January 2026 • Data via NTREIS

Key Highlights

  • Median Price: $337,400 (−1.6% YoY)
  • Closed Sales: 728 (−37.2% YoY)
  • Active Listings: 303 (−14.2% YoY)
  • Months of Inventory: 4.1 (+1.1 YoY)

PRICES
Forney’s median home price ended 2025 at $337,400, down 1.6% year over year. That small adjustment suggests prices held relatively steady even as the market shifted, which is typical when buyers become more payment-sensitive but sellers remain anchored to recent value levels. In this environment, pricing precision matters more than it did when demand was chasing limited supply.

SALES ACTIVITY
Closed sales dropped to 728, a sharp 37.2% decline from 2024. That kind of pullback signals a meaningful slowdown in transaction volume—buyers are still present, but they are more cautious, and fewer deals are making it to the closing table. Homes that feel overpriced or underprepared are more likely to lose momentum.

INVENTORY
Active listings decreased to 303, down 14.2% year over year, which suggests supply tightened even as sales slowed. When listings fall alongside closings, the market often becomes more selective: well-priced homes can still attract attention, but buyers take longer to decide and negotiate more carefully. The reduced inventory also helps explain why prices did not slide more dramatically.

MARKET BALANCE
Months of inventory increased to 4.1, up 1.1 from the prior year, pointing to a market that moved closer to balance and, in some segments, leaned more buyer-friendly. This shift typically brings more negotiation, longer decision timelines, and a wider spread between homes that are positioned correctly and those that are not. Forney is still a high-demand area, but outcomes are now more strategy-driven than urgency-driven.

What Sellers Need to Know

  • With months of inventory higher, pricing to recent comparable sales is critical to generate strong activity.
  • Expect more negotiation, especially on repairs and concessions for homes that aren’t move-in ready.
  • Presentation matters more when buyers slow down—clean, well-maintained, and well-marketed homes stand out.
  • If showings are slow early, strategic adjustments tend to outperform waiting for a shift in demand.

What Buyers Need to Know

  • With more balanced conditions, you may have better leverage on terms, repairs, and concessions.
  • Focus on value—condition, layout, and long-term fit matter more than small list-price differences.
  • Homes that are priced correctly can still move quickly, so be prepared when the right one appears.
  • Negotiation tends to be strongest on listings that have been sitting or that need updates.

2026 Forney Housing Market Forecast

Looking ahead to 2026, Forney is likely to remain a more negotiation-driven market than the ultra-competitive cycles of prior years, especially if months of inventory stays around the current level. Buyers should continue to have leverage on terms and concessions, particularly for homes that are dated, require repairs, or are priced above recent comparable sales. Sellers can still achieve strong results, but success will hinge on realistic pricing, strong presentation, and a marketing plan that drives early demand rather than relying on scarcity. Mortgage rates will remain the biggest swing factor—if rates stay elevated, buyer activity may remain selective; if rates ease, spring and early summer could bring faster absorption and fewer concessions on the best-positioned homes. Overall, 2026 should reward strategy and realism on both sides, with the strongest outcomes tied to homes that clearly deliver value for their price point.
