Two vacant lots on Beverly Drive in Highland Park recently sold for $5.5 million each, side by side. A two-year-old home on just under an acre is coming to market at nearly $32 million in a neighborhood with no views and no mountains. The numbers sound like coastal pricing, but this is Dallas, and the ...
Most people shopping for a home start with a mortgage calculator. They plug in a price, a down payment, and an interest rate, and out comes a monthly payment. In Texas, that number is often wrong, sometimes by hundreds of dollars a month, and buyers don’t find out until they’re already deep into a transaction. ...
Austin’s widely cited year-over-year price decline of roughly 20 percent aggregates dozens of submarkets with vastly different fundamentals, and the distortion may be costing investors who rely on metro-wide data to evaluate opportunities, according to Nitin Kumar, an agent with eXp Realty who was the brokerage’s top-producing agent nationally by homes sold last year. In ...
Austin’s luxury real estate market has developed an unusual split. Properties priced above $5 million are attracting buyers and moving relatively quickly, while homes in the $1.5 million to $3 million range are taking longer to sell. That inversion, where the top of the market outpaces the tier just below it, reflects something specific about ...
In most Texas metros, the conversation about housing affordability centers on rising prices. In San Antonio, the pressure is coming from a different direction: pre-owned homes are sitting unsold while builders undercut them on price, financing, and condition, according to Katie Powers, a team lead and broker with the Lifestyles of San Antonio team. The ...

Builders in North Texas are offering interest rates near 4.9% and design-center credits worth $60,000 to $80,000, according to Heather Gill, a residential agent with eXp Realty who has worked the North Texas market for nearly a decade. For resale homeowners trying to sell in the same corridors, that competition is creating a pricing problem ...
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 ...
In the Dallas-Fort Worth residential market, buyers who have been priced out of new construction over the past 12 to 24 months are now shopping at lower price points, but arriving with the same expectations for quality and finish. The result, according to Cisco Gonzalez, Team Founder and Listing Agent at Maverick Real Estate Group ...
The Dallas-Fort Worth housing market is sorting transactions along a single axis: pricing accuracy. Properties listed at market value are moving in under two weeks across a wide range of price points, according to Katherine Hubbard, broker at DFW 1% Listings LLC. Properties listed above market value, often by sellers still anchored to the conditions ...
The Austin housing market spent years as one of the hottest in the country. Now sellers accustomed to fielding dozens of offers are adjusting to a market where buyers have leverage and new construction is setting the terms. According to Laura Ivy Blessing, who leads the Blessed Life Group in Austin and has more than ...
The Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex has roughly four months of housing inventory, enough to tip conditions firmly in buyers’ favor after the seller-dominated stretch of 2022 and 2023. For first-time buyers, that shift has opened a window that did not exist two years ago: sellers willing to contribute to closing costs, combined with grant-based down payment ...

Spokane’s residential market has settled into a pattern that rewards discipline and punishes nostalgia. Sellers who list based on what they remember from a few years ago – when homes drew multiple offers within days – are finding that the market has moved on without them, according to Kim Hagel-Barkley of The Barkley Group in ...
The gap between Houston’s residential market and its coastal neighbor shows what happens when short-term rental speculation meets a correction. Harris County, Texas, currently has roughly six months of housing inventory – enough to classify it as a balanced-to-soft market where sellers need to price carefully and present homes in strong condition. But the sharper ...
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. The disconnect is straightforward: developers built expensive Class A apartments in markets ...
In most American markets, holding a property for ten or twelve years builds a cushion of equity. In Manhattan, that assumption no longer holds across large segments of the market, according to Nikolay Afanasyev, Founder & CEO of CITY SPHERE Property Group, a boutique brokerage covering Manhattan and parts of Brooklyn. Rising building carrying costs, ...
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 ...
