What would 1701 Shadow Brook Trail look like filled with your family and friends this Thanksgiving and Christmas?

With more than 4,100 square feet, 5 bedrooms, generous living and dining spaces, a 19 x 19 game room, and a separate 19 x 14 media room, there is room here for everyone to gather, spread out, stay awhile, and make memories together.

Once complete, it will add another great place nearby for a family walk, some fresh air, or even a quick pickup football game.

A buyer who finds this home now could be settling in with plenty of time to make it their own before the holiday season is in full swing.

# Is Fall 2026 a Good Time to Buy or Sell a Home in Dallas-Fort Worth?

If you are trying to decide whether this fall is the right time to buy or sell a home, you've probably heard plenty of conflicting advice.

Wait for interest rates to come down.

Sell now before prices fall.

Buy now because you'll have more negotiating power.

Wait until spring when there are more buyers.

There is a little truth buried in several of those statements, but none of them tells you whether *you* should make a move.

Real estate is local, and even within North Texas, what I'm seeing can vary considerably from one city, neighborhood and price range to another.

What I can tell you is this: the fall 2026 market is giving both buyers and sellers opportunities, but it isn't rewarding unrealistic expectations.

For sellers, the days of simply putting a home on the market and waiting for multiple offers are largely behind us. Buyers have choices. They are paying attention to condition, updates, location and, perhaps more than anything else, price.

That doesn't mean good homes aren't selling. They are.

But the homes getting the strongest attention tend to be the ones that are prepared well, marketed well and priced according to what buyers are willing to pay today rather than what a neighbor received several years ago.

For buyers, this market looks considerably different from the frantic market we experienced a few years ago. In many situations, buyers have time to think, compare homes, negotiate and conduct proper due diligence.

That's a healthy thing.

It also means that buyers who have been sitting on the sidelines waiting for the "perfect" moment may want to take another look. A slightly higher interest rate can sometimes be offset by a better purchase price, seller concessions or simply having more negotiating leverage.

The bigger question isn't whether September, October or November is universally the best month to buy or sell.

The better question is:

**What opportunity does today's market create for you?**

If you own a home and are considering selling, I can help you look at your actual neighborhood, recent sales, current competition and likely net proceeds before you make a decision.

If you're considering buying, we can look at what your budget buys today and where sellers may have room to negotiate.

There is no reason to make a real estate decision based on headlines.

Start with the numbers. Start with your goals. Then build the plan from there.

That's where I come in.
