A three-bedroom, two-bathroom home with a two-car garage in California can run $800,000 or more. The same home, brand new, in Princeton, Texas, is closing this month for $325,000, and that gap is doing more to shape the Dallas-Fort Worth housing market than any single local trend, according to Nadeem Khan, a Realtor with Crown ...

The instinct when relocating is to buy immediately, lock in a home, plant roots, get settled. In the Dallas-Fort Worth market right now, the smarter move for out-of-state buyers is the opposite: rent for a year, study the terrain, then purchase. Buyers who skipped that step during the pandemic overpaid badly, and the ones arriving ...

After a period of declining values that followed Austin’s pandemic-era price surge, prices in the city’s luxury segment appear to have stopped falling.

Austin’s median home price has dropped roughly 10% – from around $499,000 to $450,000, according to Laura Blessing, team leader of Blessed Life Realty Group at Keller Williams Realty.

A few years ago, Dallas–Fort Worth buyers competed in bidding wars and waived inspections. Now they are asking sellers to help cover their costs – and in most transactions, they are getting it. According to Katherine Hubbard of DFW 1% Listings, a flat-fee brokerage in the Dallas–Fort Worth metro, roughly 90 percent of her current ...

When a large landlord or equity fund lists a former rental property in Dallas-Fort Worth, the home that reaches the market is not always what a buyer expects.

The gap between Houston’s residential market and its coastal neighbor shows what happens when short-term rental speculation meets a correction.

The U.S. rental market built aggressively during the pandemic era, particularly in Sunbelt cities like Nashville, Austin, and Dallas. Now much of that new inventory, especially high-end apartments, is sitting partially empty, competing for renters whose budgets have tightened considerably since construction began.

For buyers waiting on the largest purchase of their lives, the appraisal process is one of the last black boxes in a home purchase. Turnaround time isn’t a single number; it’s the sum of scheduling, inspection, report production, quality review, and any revision cycles that follow, and thin appraiser panels and uncontrolled revision cycles are ...
