Market snapshot (ZIP 76016)
Realtor.com’s ZIP dashboard (December 2025) shows prices edging up year over year (+1.08%) while active listings were lower than a year earlier (-22.22%). Homes sold for about the asking price on average, but the ZIP was still labeled a buyer’s market for the period, meaning supply outweighed demand.
Permits, construction, and zoning: what to watch
If you are planning an addition, garage conversion, or bigger rehab before listing, keep an eye on Arlington’s Planning & Development Services updates. The city’s Quarterly Development Profile highlights permitting activity across residential and non-residential projects, including single-family and multifamily construction as well as remodels and additions.
For any project that changes use, density, or structure type, start with the Unified Development Code (UDC) and confirm your property’s zoning district and allowed uses before you price out the work.
What’s for sale nearby (no addresses)
Scrolling today’s 76016 for-sale results, the mix looks broad: smaller 3-bed homes show up under the mid-$200Ks, a large share of 3–4 bed houses cluster in the $300Ks to $400Ks, and there are also higher-end options that push well above that. If you are hunting land, at least one small residential lot listing is currently marketed around the low-$100Ks.
Rental check-in
Rental availability remains meaningful (about 72 active rentals on Realtor.com). Single-family rentals are common in the feed, and pricing varies widely by size and condition. If you are a landlord, the year-over-year dip in median rent is worth watching as spring leasing season ramps up.
Quick local strategy
Buyers: compare the ZIP’s days-on-market and price-per-square-foot trends against nearby ZIPs to spot pockets where sellers are cutting prices. Sellers: if your home is dated, focus on inspection-ready basics (roof, HVAC, plumbing leaks, electrical safety) before cosmetic upgrades.
