What sold in Westworth Village over the past year?
Twenty-nine single-family homes closed in Westworth Village, Texas between 15 October 2025 and 22 September 2026, at a median $525,000, 2,300 square feet, and $225.23 per square foot, going under contract in a median 19 days at 96.21% of the original asking price. The median home that sold was built in 2018, in a city whose housing stock is mostly 1950s. The newer houses did not sell for more per square foot or sell faster: homes built in 2000 or later closed at $225 per foot in a median 38 days, against $232 per foot and 15 days for homes built before 1960.

Source: NTREIS/MLS export pulled 14 October 2026, filtered to City = Westworth Village, 76114, single family. Every percentage below measures against the original list price; townhome records are reported separately. The sample is 29 closings, which is small — read these as one year in one small city, not a rule.
The city is 1950s. Last year’s sales were not.
Westworth Village is its own incorporated city rather than a Fort Worth neighborhood, wrapped by Fort Worth and White Settlement, and most of it was platted and built in the early 1950s. You would expect last year’s closings to look like that.
They do not. Of the 29 homes that closed, 13 were built before 1960 and 15 were built in 2000 or later — seven of those 15 finished in 2023 or after. A single 1986 house sits between the groups. That is why the median year built among sales lands on 2018 while the stock does not.
The two halves look far apart on price:
- Built before 1960 (13 closings): $335,000 median, 1,493 square feet, 0.19 acres
- Built 2000 or later (15 closings): $665,000 median, 2,700 square feet, 0.17 acres
A $330,000 gap. Per square foot, though, the two halves priced almost identically — $232.20 for the pre-1960 homes against $225.23 for the newer ones, about 3% apart, with the older houses marginally higher, on lots of nearly the same size. The money separating a 1954 house from a 2025 house here was floor area, not vintage.
The clearest version sits inside one platted subdivision, the largest in the city, where both eras are present: eight pre-1960 closings at $347,000 and $228.10 per foot on 0.20-acre lots, nine built 2000 or later at $559,000 and $223.30 per foot on 0.16-acre lots. Seventy years apart, five dollars a foot between them.
One 4,080 square foot 2018 house closed at $2,196,000, far above the rest of the file. It is internally consistent rather than an error, and nothing rests on it: excluded, the built-2000-or-later median is $632,500 at $224.20 per foot. Our Westworth Village area page carries the current snapshot and the tax detail.
If you have read what sold in White Settlement, this is the opposite result: there, price per square foot fell hard as houses got bigger. Here it held flat across both vintage and size.
The new houses were the slow half
This runs against the assumption that new construction moves first.
- Built before 1960: 15 days median to contract, 96.2% of original ask
- Built 2000 or later: 38 days median, 96.6% of original ask
- Built 2023 or later: 38 days on the listing that sold, but a median 116 cumulative days across all of that property’s listings
Cumulative days on market counts a property’s whole marketing history, not just the listing that finally sold — and for the newest houses it ran three times the final-listing figure. Several had already been to market and come back.
One de-identified example: a 2,613 square foot house completed in 2025 first came to market at $604,995, came off, returned at $571,000, and closed at $520,000 — 91.1% of that second ask, roughly 14% under the first, after 677 cumulative days. Two points of that is negotiation. The rest is time.
Standing inventory points the same way. At the pull, 18 single-family listings were active or pending, median year built 2007. They had sat a median 63 days, 10 of the 18 had already cut, and they asked a median $562,500 after reductions from a $595,000 median opening. Standing inventory is a sample selected for not having sold yet, so it is the weaker signal.
What the record cannot tell you is why: there is no field for condition, finish, builder, or street, and the maintenance tradeoff between a 1950s house and a new one sits outside this data.
Eleven of forty properties never sold, and they sat at both ends
Counting failures correctly matters. Across the 49 finished single-family listings, grouping by normalized address gives 40 distinct properties, 11 of which never closed under any listing — 27.5%. Counting per listing gives 40.8% and overstates it by 13 points: a house that cancelled once and sold on the second attempt is one property that sold, not a failure plus a sale.
Eight were 1953 and 1954 houses, mostly under 1,500 square feet; three were built in 2022 or later and asked above $699,000. The market cleared the ordinary middle and left both ends standing.
The gap between the failures and the sales was narrower than you might expect, and it was per-foot rather than price-tag:
- Never closed (11): opened at a $335,000 median and $252.07 per square foot; after cuts by 7 of the 11, final asks sat at a $238.97 median per foot; median 107 cumulative days
- Closed (29): opened at $235.71 per square foot and achieved $225.23; median 19 cumulative days
The properties that did not sell opened about 7% per foot above the ones that did, and even after reducing sat around 6% per foot above what the market paid. Five of the 11 were listed again and were active or under contract when the data was pulled.
That is a different result from the one next door: in River Oaks the cuts did reach the clearing level and the houses still did not sell. Here they stopped short of it. Of the eight properties that went to market more than once, six eventually closed, and five of those six came back at a lower opening number.
The city’s only attached product went nowhere: three townhome listings, all built 2018 and roughly 2,150 to 2,240 square feet, produced zero closings. Three listings is far too thin to call a market, which is why they sit apart from the figures above.
Price per square foot is a screening number, not a valuation method. MLS and county square footage are not measured to one standard, a larger source of noise than most of the gaps above — the reason a neighbor’s home sells for more than yours is often measurement and condition rather than the market. Texas is also a non-disclosure state, and in a city this small some property trades without reaching the MLS, so treat these figures as a floor on activity.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Westworth Village part of Fort Worth?
No. Westworth Village is its own incorporated city in Tarrant County with its own government and municipal tax rate, though it shares the 76114 ZIP code with Fort Worth addresses. Confirm which school district serves a specific address with that district’s own boundary lookup, and the current combined tax rate on the Tarrant Appraisal District record — not from a listing.
What did homes actually sell for in Westworth Village over the past year?
Across 29 single-family closings between 15 October 2025 and 22 September 2026, the median was $525,000 at $225.23 per square foot, on 2,300 square feet and 0.184 acres, closing at 96.21% of the original ask in a median 19 days. Sales ran from $160,000 to $2,196,000, so the median describes the middle of a wide mix rather than a typical house.
Did new construction sell for more per square foot than the 1950s homes?
No. Homes built in 2000 or later closed at a median $225.23 per square foot and homes built before 1960 at $232.20 — about 3% apart, with the older houses slightly higher. The $330,000 difference in median price between the groups came from square footage, not the build year.
How long did it take to sell a home in Westworth Village?
A median 19 days to go under contract across all 29 closings, but the split matters: 15 days for homes built before 1960 against 38 days for those built in 2000 or later, and a median 116 cumulative days for homes built in 2023 or later. Cumulative days on market is the more honest figure once a house has been to market more than once.
Can I use price per square foot to work out what my house is worth?
It is useful for screening and poor for valuing: square footage is not measured to one standard across MLS and county records, and it ignores condition, updates, lot, and floor plan. A comparative market analysis weighs those directly, and it is not an appraisal — for an appraised value you need a licensed appraiser.
Where this leaves you
In Westworth Village last year the market paid for floor area rather than for a build year, and it was the newest houses that waited. If you own an original 1950s home here, the per-foot record says the age discount you may be braced for was not there. If you are weighing a new build, read the days-on-market history before settling on a number.
Twenty-nine closings is a small sample and one address can land well off the median either way, so the only figure that matters is the one built from your house. If you want that run, send me a text or call 817-703-1333.
