Good news for potential Fort Worth homebuyers, but not so great for sellers: Housing prices in the DFW Metroplex have come down as much as $30,000 since last year.

Typical home values in Fort Worth have fallen 3.08 percent since February 2025. That's the 19th-biggest year-over-year drop in housing prices nationwide, according to a new report.

The housing study from SmartAsset analyzed home values across the 100 biggest metro areas using Zillow’s Home Value Index tool for single-family homes, condos, and co-ops. Home value data was sourced for the month of February in 2021, 2025, and 2026.

The top five U.S. cities with the biggest one-year home price reductions are Oakland, California (No. 1); Saint Petersburg (No. 2); Naples, Florida (No. 3); Austin (No. 4); and Plano (No. 5).

The findings revealed housing prices in Fort Worth are now standing at $295,822, down from $305,236 last year. Meanwhile, prices have dipped 3.41 percent year-over-year in nearby Arlington, and typical home values are now at $307,792.

SmartAsset said Fort Worth's housing prices are still a whopping 25.3 percent higher than they were in 2021, and compared to pre-pandemic levels, they're 44.5 percent more expensive.

Here's how much cheaper housing prices are in other North Texas cities:

Dallas:

• One year change: -3.79 percent
• Typical home value in 2025: $317,550
• Typical home value in 2026: $305,523

Home prices elsewhere around the U.S. have seen varying changes, according to the report.

"Between 2025 and 2026, the typical home value in large U.S. cities actually declined by 1.04 percent, with values dropping in 70 percent of cities," the report's author wrote. "But the full range of changes from market to market ran the gamut from -9.1 percent to +5.01 percent, putting both hopeful buyers and homeowners in starkly different environments across the nation."

The top three U.S. cities where home prices increased the most since 2025 are Toledo, Ohio (No. 2); Lincoln, Nebraska (No. 2); and San Francisco (No. 3).

The 10 cities with the biggest one-year decreases in home values are:

• No. 1 – Oakland, California
• No. 2 – Saint Petersburg, Florida
• No. 3 – Naples, Florida
• No. 4 – Austin
• No. 5 – Plano
• No. 6 – Aurora, Colorado
