The Dallas–Fort Worth housing market is often discussed in aggregate, but the headline numbers conceal a more specific problem: buyers and sellers are stuck in a standoff driven by mismatched expectations, and the standoff plays out differently from one neighborhood to the next. Kristyn Fuston, a residential agent with eXp Realty who focuses on VA ...

Austin’s luxury real estate market has developed an unusual split.
