FORT WORTH ( STACKER ) — The changes to the housing market are moving at a neck-breaking pace. To help you stay current on the market, ZeroDown compiled a weekly real estate market report in Fort Worth using data from Redfin . Statistics are as of the four weeks ending March 6, 2022. Metros with more than 50 homes sold during this time period were considered for metro-level rankings for each statistic.
Real estate is making headlines again this week, and for good reason. The housing market broke another all-time record in January 2022, with 70% of the homes on the market that month ending in a bidding war between buyers, according to data released Feb. 23. That rate was up by nine percentage points compared to the same time last year.
The milestone is good news for sellers—but another hurdle for potential homebuyers.

Sellers are able to capitalize on the lack of inventory and extremely high demand to command higher prices for their homes. Bidding wars also likely contributed to the recent jump in the average purchase loan size for conventional loans, which set a new record of $453,000 in late February.
Bidding wars represent yet another hurdle for potential homebuyers, on the other hand, who have already faced not only record-high home prices but record-low levels of housing inventory—and the looming threat of increased interest rates over the last several months.
All this spell a potentially rough several months ahead for homebuyers looking for a deal—or any buyer who’s looking for a property to purchase.
