More than 120 homes sold across Keller, Roanoke and north Fort Worth in October, and the area's housing market notched a notable one-two punch: prices climbed while homes moved off the market faster than they did a year earlier. For buyers who have spent the past couple of years watching North Texas inventory swell and sales cool, it is a sign that this particular slice of Tarrant County is behaving a bit differently than the region as a whole.
Prices Rise, Days on Market Shrink
According to Community Impact, the three areas saw an overall year-over-year increase in median home sales price in October, alongside an overall decrease in the average number of days homes spent on the market. The outlet's report, which covers real estate data for Keller, Roanoke and north Fort Worth spanning October 2025 through October 2026, tracks homes sold by price point, median sales prices and the number of new listings, among other metrics.
The October snapshot follows a mixed run of months for the same three cities. The outlet's report notes that 163 homes sold in Keller, Roanoke and northeast Fort Worth in September, 13 more than the same month in 2025, while December 2025 brought a dip to 116 homes sold, down from 145 the previous December. February 2026 saw another pullback, with 122 homes sold, a 15.57 percent decrease from the 141 recorded in February 2025. In that December report, the $400,000 to $699,999 price bracket drew the most buyers, the outlet found.
How the Local Numbers Stack Up Regionally
Zooming out to the broader Fort Worth market offers some useful context, even though the figures come from a different month and a wider footprint than the Keller-Roanoke-north Fort Worth data. In October 2025, Fort Worth logged 835 home sales, flat compared to the prior October, according to ReSide DFW. The citywide median price held steady at $325,000, while homes took an average of 56 days to sell, two days longer than the year before. Fort Worth's housing inventory also ticked up slightly, reaching 3.9 months of supply compared with 3.6 months in October 2024.
Tarrant County as a whole told a similar story that same month, per the same report: 1,797 homes sold, a 0.2 percent increase year over year, with a median price of $345,000, down 0.2 percent, and inventory rising to 3.7 months from 3.5 months. Those countywide figures suggest a market with slightly more homes for sale and slightly longer waits than a year earlier, which makes the faster-moving, price-rising trend in Keller, Roanoke and north Fort Worth stand out by comparison.
North Texas Overall Still Cooling
The regional backdrop adds another layer. Across North Texas, 6,759 single-family homes sold in September 2026, a 7 percent drop from September 2025, according to MetroTex Association of Realtors. The region's average home price rose 4 percent year over year to $509,534, even as the median price slipped 1 percent to $385,000. Homes spent an average of 62 days on the market, two fewer than a year earlier, and MetroTex pegged regional inventory at 4.3 months.
Community Impact's report draws its year-over-year local comparisons from MetroTex data as well, the same source behind the September and December figures for Keller, Roanoke and northeast Fort Worth. The dossier of local reports does not break out specific October 2026 figures for median price, days on market or new listings in the three cities, so the full scope of this month's gains beyond the headline sales count remains to be detailed in future updates.
