“Inventory is the number of months it would take for the existing housing stock to sell at the current sales rate.

“The Greater Fort Worth Association of Realtors (GFWAR) said that over the last several years, the housing inventory ‘had dipped to less than one month.’

“GFWAR also said active listings were up more than 50% between May 2023 and May 2024.
