Latest Update: July 2025
Forney’s median home price remained flat at $345,000 in June 2025, reflecting pricing stability despite other market shifts. However, homes are spending more time on market—up to 47 days—and sale-to-list ratios dipped to 94.6%, signaling increased negotiation from buyers.
Inventory rose to 5.8 months, with 916 homes for sale, a 16.2% increase year-over-year. While pending sales rose 10.3%, closed sales dropped by 16.0%, highlighting a widening gap between interest and successful transactions. This balance shift is creating more opportunity for strategic buyers.
With steady pricing, rising inventory, and longer selling timelines, Forney’s market is leaning toward balance. Sellers should focus on competitive positioning, while buyers should be ready to negotiate and act quickly when the right home hits the market.
