New home sales rebound as builders chase buyers' budgets
August brought a notable uptick in US new home sales, with builders adjusting prices and offering incentives to better align with buyers’ budgets. Sales reached their fastest pace in eight months, though they remain 2% below last year’s numbers. The median new home price settled at $393,700. Even with this momentum, inventory remains high and builder confidence is low—largely a result of rising financing costs. After 34 years helping clients navigate the Dallas, Collin, Rockwall, Hunt, Grayson, and Denton County markets, I’ve seen the power of smart price strategy in all kinds of market cycles. Whether you’re focused on residential, farm and ranch, foreclosures, or investment properties, understanding these shifts is key to making informed decisions.

New Homes Offer Better Value Nationwide
With over 34 years navigating the Dallas real estate market, I’ve seen the shifts in value firsthand—and right now, new construction is offering some compelling advantages for buyers across the country. Builders are responding to limited existing home inventory by cutting prices and adding incentives that most resale sellers simply can’t match. This is especially true in areas with active development, where more options on the market are helping boost affordability and giving buyers additional leverage. I always encourage my clients to weigh both new builds and resale homes—especially since builders are currently offering price reductions and perks like mortgage rate buydowns. Just keep in mind, these affordability benefits could be temporary if permitting slows down. Continued building and streamlined local rules remain key to keeping options open for buyers in markets like ours.

New-Build Buyer Survey: What Americans Want in a New Construction Home
After 34 years helping buyers across Dallas, Collin, Rockwall, Hunt, Grayson, and Denton counties, I’ve seen the growing appeal of new construction firsthand. It’s no surprise that 80% of Americans are drawn to new builds—less worry about repairs, the ability to personalize, smart design, and energy efficiency all play a big part. When working with clients seeking a new home—whether it’s residential, a ranch, or an investment property—I consistently hear requests for spacious kitchens, inviting outdoor areas, plenty of natural light, and energy-saving features. These priorities continue to shape the choices buyers are making throughout our region.

First-time homebuyers could get $50,000 under new bill
There’s a new bill on the table that could mean up to $50,000 in federal matching funds for first-time homebuyers—a potential game-changer for those looking to break into homeownership. The program would offer a 5-to-1 match for down payments, but with a few conditions: buyers would need to complete counseling and limit their purchase to homes priced at or below the local median. Of course, some are questioning whether this move could push prices higher without actually increasing the number of homes available. After 34 years guiding clients through the Dallas market—whether buying, selling, or investing—I’ve seen how policy changes ripple through neighborhoods in Collin, Dallas, and beyond. It’s worth keeping an eye on how this proposal unfolds, especially for those considering their first step into homeownership.

Housing Data Gives Buyers More Leverage
With 34 years of experience navigating the Dallas real estate landscape, I’ve seen how shifts in market data can open new doors for buyers. Recently, about 21% of active listings nationwide had price cuts, and inventory climbed to over 1.16 million homes—now just 9% below pre-pandemic norms. While buyer activity has remained cautious, reflected in a 4% year-over-year drop in homes under contract for the second month in a row, it’s clear that higher mortgage costs are still weighing on affordability. The national median list price stands at around $419,000, down 1% month-over-month and year-over-year, continuing an 11-month stretch of yearly price declines. Price per square foot is down about 2% from last year. Sellers are still staying engaged, with roughly 6% of listings being delisted—a figure that’s holding steady compared to last year—but we’re seeing more owners reduce prices and open up space for negotiation. As we move forward, it will be important to see whether these additional price cuts will be enough to spark more contracts, or if increased supply and softer demand will keep us in this period of adjustment. My ongoing focus remains helping clients interpret these numbers to make informed, confident decisions—whether you’re buying, selling, or investing in our local counties.

Texas Buyers Have More Choice, Not Guaranteed Bargains
In my 34 years navigating the Dallas and North Texas real estate landscape, I’ve seen market cycles come and go—but as we approach late Q3 2026, Texas buyers are benefiting from a rare moment: more options across the board, though bargains aren’t automatic. With mortgage rates hovering around 7%, affordability still takes careful consideration. What’s notable is that increased inventory means buyers can truly compare different subdivisions, weigh builder incentives, and consider rate buydowns—especially in the suburbs many of us serve. But keep in mind, a bigger selection doesn’t always mean big discounts. Each metro tells its own story: Austin leans solidly toward buyers, Houston and parts of DFW are finding balance, while San Antonio remains on the softer side. Sellers still have strong opportunities, but realistic pricing—matching today’s comps rather than chasing last year’s highs—is more important than ever. In many cases, builder incentives can be more impactful than small cuts on resale homes. Heading into the rest of 2026, home shoppers will have better selection, and investors should focus on properties with steady cash flow rather than relying on appreciation alone. My focus remains on helping clients—whether you’re buying, selling, or investing—navigate these nuanced shifts, drawing on decades of experience across Collin, Dallas, Rockwall, Hunt, Grayson, and Denton counties.

What does a home warranty cover and what's excluded?
After 34 years helping clients navigate the Dallas real estate landscape, I know questions about home warranties come up often. A home warranty typically covers major systems and appliances in your home—think heating, air conditioning, and kitchen appliances. You can choose a plan that covers just systems, just appliances, or both, and there are usually optional add-ons depending on your needs. It’s important to note that structural elements and preexisting issues aren’t included. Coverage details and limits are different with every provider, so reviewing the fine print is always worthwhile—especially when making a decision for your home in Collin, Dallas, or any of our surrounding counties.

Texas Resale Sellers Adjust
Over my 34 years working across Dallas, Collin, Rockwall, Hunt, Grayson, and Denton counties, I’ve seen the Texas market shift in countless ways—but the recent change is worth noting. Since late Q2, the Texas resale housing market has softened, and sellers are making more concessions as momentum has slowed and negotiation power has tipped further toward buyers. Inventory of resale homes—always the main competition for builders—has reached its highest point, expanding choices for buyers and putting extra pressure on those looking to sell existing homes. This uptick is largely concentrated in resale properties, not new builds, which means homebuilders are facing increased competition from a swelling pool of listings. We’re seeing homeowners adjust their pricing or terms to stay competitive as more listings linger on the market. The takeaway for anyone navigating today’s market: with more resale supply and increased seller flexibility, the competitive landscape—especially between existing-home sellers and builders—has shifted in meaningful ways during this softer stretch.

Gen Z buyers lead every generation on affordability trade-offs
In my 34 years of helping folks find their place in the Dallas area, I’ve seen each generation handle the homebuying journey a bit differently. Right now, it’s Gen Z who are leading the way in flexibility—they’re more willing than any other age group to adjust their budgets and even opt for smaller homes if it means they can become homeowners. Interestingly, Canadians are the most likely to downsize for affordability, while British buyers are least inclined to make those trade-offs. Whether you’re looking in Collin, Dallas, Rockwall, Hunt, Grayson, or Denton County, it’s clear that priorities and strategies shift over time. Navigating these changes is all part of finding the right fit for each buyer.
