Stop #1 on this year's tour: 1109 Lausanne Avenue, a 1928 English Tudor on a landscaped half-acre near Stevens Park Golf Course.

🏡 Buyers, it's time to pay attention. This market may be giving you an opportunity we haven’t seen in a while.

Dallas was just named one of the Top 10 buyer’s markets in the country. Sellers currently outnumber buyers by more than 2 to 1, and 79% of homes sold in August closed below their original asking price.

Yes, interest rates are still higher than any of us would like. But the rate is only one part of the equation. More inventory + fewer competing buyers = negotiating power.

Depending on the property and seller, that can mean opportunities to negotiate on price, repairs, closing costs, OR EVEN SELLER CONTRIBUTIONS TOWARD A MORTGAGE RATE BUYDOWN THAT CAN HELP OFFSET TODAY'S HIGHER RATES!

And unlike the frenzy of a few years ago, buyers often have something else valuable right now: choices. More homes to consider. More time to make a thoughtful decision. More opportunity to negotiate favorable terms.

If you’ve been sitting on the sidelines because of interest rates, it may be worth running the numbers again. The market has changed.

The Fairchild Group can help you understand what’s happening in your part of DFW, identify where the opportunities are, and negotiate the entire package, not just the sales price.

Who do you know who has been waiting for the right time to buy? Send them our way. We’d love to help.

The tide has turned for the Dallas housing market, and buyers now have more power than ever to negotiate on their forever home, a new real estate report has confirmed.

Proud moment for the team — our founder James Fairchild was recently featured in The Dallas Morning News' Abode section, sharing his take on how buyers should approach a home inspection report.

His biggest piece of advice: don't let a long report scare you off. As James explains, even brand-new homes turn up items on an inspection — length isn't a red flag on its own. He also breaks down how our team works with a network of contractors to get accurate repair estimates on bigger-ticket issues, and why he encourages clients to see findings not as dealbreakers, but as a maintenance roadmap for the years ahead.

Save the date! 🍁 The 2026 Heritage Oak Cliff Fall Home Tour takes place Saturday and Sunday, October 24–25, from noon to 5 p.m. each day.

This year's tour features nine homes and two businesses spanning nearly a century of Oak Cliff architecture — 1920s Tudor Revivals, a converted duplex, a midcentury ranch, and a contemporary designer home among them.

Proceeds directly fund Heritage Oak Cliff's grant program, which returned more than $33,000 to member neighborhoods this year for things like street sign toppers, trees, sidewalks, and community events.

Tickets are on sale now on Eventbrite — link in comments.
