The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 558 homes for sale in ZIP 76179 in the three months ending August 31, 2026. That is up 14.6% from the same months a year before. More supply means buyers have more to look at, and sellers have more to compete with.

Redfin reported that Fort Worth had 108.3% more sellers than buyers in September 2026. That gap is wide. It tells sellers that pricing carefully from day one matters more than it did a year ago.

What the numbers say about ZIP 76179

The median sale price in ZIP 76179 dipped 3.5% to $325,000, according to the Real Estate Data Aggregator. That is a small but honest shift. Homes still sold, though. The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 420 closed sales, up 10.8% from the same period a year ago.

Prices dipped a little, but homes still moved

The Real Estate Data Aggregator also found that 26.3% of homes went under contract within two weeks of listing. That is up 2.4 points from a year before. Well-priced homes are still finding buyers quickly.

The wider picture for Fort Worth

Realtor.com reported that mortgage rates topped 7% in September 2026, the first time since January 2025. That adds to the monthly cost for buyers and can slow decisions. Realtor.com also found that 20.8% of listings across the country took a price cut in September 2026, the highest share since October 2022. That pattern fits what the Real Estate Data Aggregator shows here: more supply, a little price softness, and sellers who need to be sharp on price.

Realtor.com put the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington median home price at $422,495 in September 2026. The ZIP 76179 median of $325,000 sits below that metro figure. That gap can matter when buyers compare their options across the area.

One more thing worth knowing. These are ZIP code numbers. One street inside 76179 can read very differently from the whole ZIP. A block with newer builds, a cul-de-sac, or a school boundary line can shift the numbers on their own.
