Fort Worth Real Estate

Despite it’s rise in growth to the 5th largest city in Texas, and designation by Money Magazine as “one of the best places to live in the U.S.” Fort Worth real estate has never forgotten – and still treasures – its great Western heritage. A heritage that still permeates the city’s atmosphere and preserves it’s unique charm.

Fort Worth has come a long way from it’s earliest beginnings as a trading and cattle center to the city’s current place as a part of the dynamic Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington metroplex. A city that is home to numerous companies and first class shopping, entertainment and cultural venues.

Fort Worth Homes For Sale

The city offers a wide range of single-family homes for sale, with choices for buyers who are looking for anything from a fixer-upper to a palatial estate. Ample choices are available as well for the rental or purchase of townhomes, condos and loft dwellings.

As of this writing (latter part of 2007), the median price of a pre-owned single-family home in Fort Worth (median price meaning the mid-range between highest and lowest price) is in the $140,000 range, with newly built median home prices at just below $160,000.

Fort Worth Condos and Townhomes

Fort Worth condos and townhomes appeal to the city dwellers who prefer the freedom from the chores, costs and responsibilities of single-family home ownership. Townhomes are preferred by those who like the semblance of living in suburbia (some townhomes have yards) and others prefer the sophisticated living of an up-scale condominium home.

Fort Worth MLS

Just about everyone buying or selling real estate uses a Multiple Listing Service, (MLS.) Nowhere else can so many properties be seen and evaluated in a comparatively short period of time. However the MLS listings that can be freely accessed by anyone online are frequently outdated. Only licensed realtors can access a realtor’s MLS. Realtors MLS listings, such as VIP Realty’s listings are extensive and always up to date.
