Welcome back to our five-part series exploring real estate activity within the city limits of Mineral Wells, Texas—the Wellness Capital of Texas and proud home of the Baker Hotel and Crazy Water.
Mineral Wells is a charming small town about an hour west of Fort Worth. It’s the kind of place where people come to enjoy the peaceful appeal of rural living without straying too far from big-city conveniences.
Today, we’re taking a closer look at the Southwest side of Mineral Wells. This area is defined by the west side of U.S. Highway 281 and the south side of U.S. Highway 180. It’s one of the city’s most diverse neighborhoods, featuring everything from early 1900s homes to brand-new builds, with mobile homes adding to the mix.
Investors have taken notice too—many are purchasing older properties to renovate and either resell or rent out, helping breathe new life into this part of town.
To get a clear picture, we looked at real estate activity over the past six months, from April through October 2025. Here’s what the numbers reveal:
Active Listings: 13 homes are currently for sale on the Southwest side, compared to 26 on the Southeast side.
Average List Price: $186,284
Average Price per Square Foot: $153.00 — about $22 higher than the Southeast side.
Average Days on Market: 123 days
The higher price per square foot is largely due to the number of new homes available in this area—unlike the Southeast side, which currently has none.
Under Contract: 2 homes are under contract, including one “fixer-upper.”
Average List Price: $139,150
Average Price per Square Foot: $76.60
Average Days on Market: 74 days
Sold Homes: 10 homes have sold in the past six months.
Average Sold Price: $85,825
Average Price per Square Foot: $86.52
Average Days on Market: 69 days
While overall activity is slower than in the Southeast section, the Southwest side shows strong potential—particularly as new construction continues and investors focus on revitalizing older properties.
The Southwest side of Mineral Wells offers a little bit of everything: history, opportunity, and the quiet appeal that draws people to small-town life. Though current activity is somewhat slower than in other areas, the presence of new builds and ongoing renovations suggests steady growth and renewed interest.
In our next post, we’ll move on to explore another side of Mineral Wells—an area known for its scenic views and evolving market trends. Stay tuned to see how it compares!
