This Month's Architectural Corner features Bauhaus

German for “building house”, Bauhaus was a pioneering modernist style that combined fine arts and crafts, and influences modern/contemporary architecture to this day. Founded in 1919 by Walter Gropius, Bauhaus adhered to the principle “form follows function”, emphasizing simplicity with minimalist designs, using industrial materials such as steel, glass and concrete.

Utilizing clean lines and asymmetric designs rather than traditional symmetry, Bauhaus continued the modernist movement that had begun in the late 1800s, but also extended from architecture to furniture and interior design, which also emphasized minimalistic, functional, geometric designs.

Bauhaus was brought to an end by the rise of the N***s in 1933, who denounced it as “degenerative art” and “un-German”. Fortunately many “Bauhausers” escaped Germany in the 1930s and fled to other parts of Europe and the United States.

The day before the war began, optimism ran high across the DFW real estate market. Many of us, myself included, anticipated a modest recovery in Dallas-Fort Worth and a stronger national rebound. Instead, uncertainty arrived with higher prices, spiking interest rates, and oil-driven economic shocks. While rates and costs drew immediate blame, the real damage came from the collapse in consumer sentiment, which fell to its lowest level since February 1978.

Sociology shows how groups often move in herds, frequently irrationally. Right now, that herd has paused. In mid-March I recorded a video forecasting a return to normalcy within weeks. I still believe conditions will improve significantly once stability returns, but prices and rates will take several months to normalize. Ultimately, this market is driven less by numbers and more by sentiment.

**What this means for buyers in Dallas, Fort Worth, and surrounding DFW communities:**

The current environment favors buyers. Sellers entered the season expecting a strong spring market and have been caught off-guard, resulting in accelerated price reductions over recent weeks. Many are waiting for rates to drop another half-point by summer’s end, but the old saying holds true: you date the rate, you marry the house. Whether at 6.5% or otherwise, refinancing remains an option down the road. For those ready with strong finances, this window offers genuine opportunity in the Dallas and Fort Worth housing markets.

**What this means for sellers:**

This has become a stop-and-go market. Telling clients the right buyer simply hasn’t arrived yet—or that macroeconomics, not marketing, is the dominant factor—is sometimes the hardest part of the job. Pulling a property off the market is rarely the answer. Success now requires patience, realistic pricing, and strong positioning. While home values may have peaked in 2024, real estate and broader life cycles seldom align perfectly.

We will move through this period. For those navigating the DFW real estate market—whether buying a home in Dallas, selling in Fort Worth, or exploring opportunities across North Texas—strategic decisions grounded in current data will outperform emotional reactions.

If you’re considering a move in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, reach out. Market intelligence and clear guidance matter most when sentiment is low and opportunity is high.

Architectural Corner: Dogtrot

Originating in the Southeastern US in the 19th and early 20th centuries but traceable back to Europe, Dogtrot - also called possum-trot (which I prefer), breezeway and dog-run - were essentially 2 cabins sharing a roof with a covered breezeway between the two. They most likely evolved from simple one to one-and-a half story log cabins, and as families grew they added a new structure that shared a common roof. Everything about Dogtrot homes involved making the brutal retional heat liveable.

Originally featuring one structure for cooking, living and dining and the other for sleeping, they did their best to isolate heat. Almost always one story, early examples were constructed of logs. Raised slightly off the ground, they allowed for maximum airflow.

Dogtrot homes are still built to this day, and are quite popular with barndominiums, but enjoy modern features and amenities.

The end of spring break traditionally marks the beginning of the homebuying season. Expect it to delay a bit while the events in the Middle East are settled. The blockade of the Strait of Hormuz - through which 20% of the world’s oil and natural gas travels - has caused gas prices to skyrocket, which has led to both inflation and a spike in interest rates. Mortgage interest rates, which had finally dipped to 6% for a 30-year fixed (the line that indicates buyer-friendliness); within 10 days they had risen to 6.5%. The bump ini rates and uncertainty coming from the events in Iran caused mortgage applications to drop 10% within a few days. Once this is over, and it will be soon, look for energy prices to drop rapidly, interest rates to settle, and a very pent-up market to take off. With an excellent inventory, soon-to-be great interest rates, and a lot of on-the-sidelines buyers and sellers ready to make a move, the stage is set for a wonderful market recovery.

“But John, you dashing yet terrifying sage,”, I hear you ask, “What does this mean for me?” If you’re a buyer, you should get started before things pick up. If you’re a cash buyer, stop reading this and buy a house immediately. Sellers need to make sure their house is well-priced and staged, and they need to be a little patient. Every analyst I trust has said 2026 is going to be a turnaround year.

In real estate they say, “You list, you last”. Being a buyer’s agent is probably more fun and more personal, but it’s way easier to tell a buyer the right house hasn’t come around than tell a seller the right buyer hasn’t come around yet.There is always the thought there’s something a listing agent isn’t doing. I’m very thankful for patient sellers, but the last couple of months has been trying. Fishing is a great allegory to selling real estate, you can prepare and enact a plan perfectly, but sometimes it just takes time.

Looks like your favorite Realtor (that’s me) is having yet another shoulder surgery, my 2nd on the left shoulder after having my 2nd right shoulder surgery Cinco de Mayo 2026. It will be minor compared to last year’s, but the surgeon says any more and we’re looking at significant loss of function. He also said, “I guess you’re just one of those guys whose tendons like to detach themselves from your bones.”, which may be true but doesn’t sound very scientific.

Just like Christmas, Easter both celebrates an important date in the life of Jesus of Nazareth and carries with it many traditions blending Christianity, Paganism & European Folklore into what we know today.

For early Christians, every Sunday marked a commemoration of the Resurrection. In the 2nd century it became an annual feast known as Pascha and was heavily intertwined with Jewish Passover. Preceded by a strict 40-hour fast, Pasha was the official day new members of the church were baptized, culminating in an Agape (love) Feast featuring a communal potluck dinner. Like many other holidays, there was debate over the official date of Easter, but in 325 AD the Council of Nicaea proclaimed it to be the 1st Sunday of April.

The Mideval & Renaissance eras saw the 40-hour fast replaced with 40 days of Lent, during which observers give up luxuries or participate in charities. In 1290, King Edward I (also known as Edward Longshanks, of Braveheart lore... who was nothing like the character in the film) ordered 450 eggs be decorated with gold leaf for gifting, marking the earliest record connecting eggs and Easter. In the 1500s, Martin Luther organized easter egg hunts for his congregation, the hidden eggs symbolizing Jesus’ body being hidden in the tomb.

In the early 1700s, German immigrants brought the tale of the Osterhase (Easter Hare) to the Americas, where children built nests into their hats for the bunny to lay it’s colored eggs. As the 1800s rolled around, chocolate eggs from France and Germany deliciously replaced regular eggs, and by the 1900s Easter cards and mass-produced candies gave us the commercialized version of Easter we see today. Finally, in 1878, President Rutherford B Hayes officially opened the White House Lawn for the first Easter Egg Roll.
