What is my home worth in 76116?

ZIP 76116 takes in Ridglea, including Ridglea Hills and Ridglea North, plus Ridgmar, Western Hills, the Las Vegas Trail area and small parts of Benbrook and White Settlement. Of the 118 homes for sale on October 27, 2026, 106 had a Fort Worth mailing address and 11 had a Benbrook address.

• The middle: a median asking price of $317,250 and a median of $192 per square foot. Asking prices ran from $52,300 to $2,999,000.
• The houses: a median size of 1,760 square feet and a median year built of 1962. Of the 118 listings, 102 were single-family homes, 13 were condos, 2 were townhouses and 1 was another type.
• Time on market: a median of 58.5 days for homes still for sale.
• Citywide context: all 3,701 Fort Worth listings had a median asking price of $349,999.

The 13 condos pull the low end of the ZIP down. Two condo complexes, Spanish Gardens and Colonial Gardens, have 11 listings between them at median asking prices of $64,000 and $59,950. If you own a single-family house, those are not your comps, and neither is a ZIP median that includes them.

Of the four ZIPs with a median year built between 1958 and 1962, 76116 asks the least per square foot: $192, against $215 in 76114, $256 in 76109 and $273 in 76107. Same era, different price per foot, which is the case for pricing by subdivision.

A ZIP median blends condos asking about $60,000 with houses asking more than ten times that. The MLS subdivision is much closer to the comparison a buyer will actually make.

These nine subdivisions hold 66 of the 118 listings; the other 52 are in other subdivisions. With four to sixteen listings in each, one new listing or one contract can move a median a long way.

Look at the per-square-foot column. Ridglea North Add, with a median year built of 1948, asks $269 a square foot. Western Hills Add, a dozen years newer by the same measure, asks $164. Age does not explain a gap that wide. The usual suspects are location, house size, lot and how much has been updated, and the next section takes them one at a time.

With a median year built of 1962, nearly every house for sale in 76116 is an older house sold to a buyer who expected one. Buyers compare old to old. The houses that price at the top of their subdivision tend to answer the buyer’s questions before they are asked.

• Updates, especially the ones behind the walls. Kitchens and baths get the photos, but the electrical panel, plumbing and heating and cooling get the inspection report. A new kitchen on original wiring reads differently once the inspector is done.
• Foundation. Whether the house is on a slab or pier-and-beam, buyers will ask about movement and repairs. Leveling receipts, an engineer’s report and any transferable warranty belong in the listing folder, not in a scramble during the option period.
• Roof. A roof near the end of its life rarely kills a sale. It turns into a credit at the negotiating table.
• Lot. Size, shape, trees and whether the house backs to a busy street. Two houses of the same size in the same subdivision can be priced well apart on the lot alone.
• The main drain line. A camera inspection before listing costs far less than a repair negotiated against a deadline.
• Overall condition. Deferred maintenance compounds. Buyers subtract the repair, then a little more for the hassle.

Three different numbers get called “what my house is worth,” and only one of them is what a buyer pays.

• Asking price. Every number above is one: what sellers hope for, on homes that have not sold yet. Homes priced right tend to go under contract and leave the active count, so the listings still standing can lean optimistic. The median active listing in 76116 had been on the market 58.5 days.
• Sold price. What a buyer actually paid, after the inspection, the negotiation and, if the buyer is financing, the lender’s appraisal. This is the number your house gets measured against, and an agent can pull recent closed sales in your subdivision from the MLS.
• Appraisal district value. Tarrant Appraisal District’s stated mission is to appraise all property in Tarrant County at 100% market value. Texas law sets that value as of January 1, and appraisal districts get there by mass appraisal: valuing a whole universe of similar properties with standard methods and statistical testing. It is a tax figure, not an offer.

If the market value on your appraisal notice looks too high, protest it. The deadline is May 15 or 30 days after the notice was delivered, whichever is later, and the evidence that moves a number is the same evidence that prices a house for sale: comparable sales, photos of needed repairs and a contractor’s estimate.

For 2026, the usual combined rate is 2.2270 per $100 for a Fort Worth home in Fort Worth ISD and 2.0977 for a Benbrook home in Fort Worth ISD, both including the Tarrant Regional Water District. Your appraisal district record lists the exact units that tax your address.

Rates, exemptions and the full protest calendar: property taxes in Tarrant, Parker and Johnson counties.

The ZIP numbers get you to the right part of town. A number for your house needs recent sales of similar houses nearby, adjusted for the differences this page has been describing. That is a comparative market analysis.

Ours is free. A licensed agent on our team prepares it from recent sales near your address, not an automated estimate, and it is not an appraisal. Once you have the number, look at what you would keep: in our worked example, a Texas seller’s closing deductions come to about $27,000 on a $350,000 sale, before the mortgage payoff.

What is the median home price in 76116?

As of October 27, 2026, the 118 homes for sale in ZIP 76116 had a median asking price of $317,250, or a median of $192 per square foot, on the NTREIS MLS. Asking prices ran from $52,300 to $2,999,000. These are asking prices of active listings, not sold prices.

How do I find out what my house in 76116 is worth?

Start with recent sales of similar homes in your own subdivision, not the ZIP median, then adjust for size, lot, updates and condition. That is a comparative market analysis. Selling 817 Real Estate Group prepares one free at selling817.com/home-value. A licensed agent builds it from recent sales near your address, and it is not an appraisal.

Is the Tarrant Appraisal District value what my house would sell for?

Not necessarily. Tarrant Appraisal District appraises all property in the county at market value as of January 1 for tax purposes, using mass appraisal. It is a tax estimate made across the whole county, not a price a buyer agreed to. For a homestead, the appraised value used for taxes cannot rise more than 10% a year, so it can trail the market. If the value on your notice looks too high, the protest deadline is May 15 or 30 days after the notice was delivered, whichever is later.

Why is the 76116 median lower than the Fort Worth median?

Part of it is condos. On October 27, 2026, 13 of the 118 listings in 76116 were condos, and two condo complexes, Spanish Gardens and Colonial Gardens, had median asking prices of $64,000 and $59,950. The ZIP median was $317,250, against $349,999 for all 3,701 Fort Worth listings. A single-family house should be priced against other single-family houses, not the ZIP median.

Which part of 76116 asks the most per square foot?

Of the nine MLS subdivisions we broke out on October 27, 2026, Ridglea North Add asked the most, a median of $269 per square foot, followed by Ridglea Add at $253 and Ridgmar Add at $215. Ridglea Add also had the highest median asking price, $699,900. With four to sixteen listings per subdivision, one listing can move these numbers.

Do older homes in 76116 sell for less because of their age?

Age alone is not the discount. The median 76116 listing was built in 1962, so most buyers are comparing one mid-century house with another. What tends to separate prices is updates to kitchens, baths and systems, the foundation history, the age of the roof, the lot and overall condition.
