Denton County, rates are over 7% again. Before you hit pause on buying, read this. 🏠

You can't control the market, but you can control your credit score, your loan, and the kind of home you buy. New build buyers averaged over half a point lower than existing home buyers last quarter, and from Aubrey and Pilot Point to Little Elm and Northlake, Denton County has plenty of builders offering buydowns. That's real money every month.

Rates are over 7% in Denton County, but your rate isn't locked in. How credit, loan type and new construction buydowns can lower it.

Sell your house for a big profit and the IRS might not touch a dime of it. 🏠💰

Here's the rule: owned and lived in it 2 of the last 5 years? You can exclude up to $250K (single) or $500K (married) tax-free. Anything above that gets taxed at capital gains rates, and your home improvements can shrink that number too.

Selling your DFW home? Here's how the $250K/$500K capital gains exclusion works, and how to avoid a tax surprise at closing.
