3 checks I'd run before buying a D.R. Horton home in Temple.

1. Bring your own agent. Not to be adversarial — to make sure your incentive package matches or beats what every other buyer in that community got.

2. Inspect it. You can do more than one. Get in before drywall and again at completion. At minimum, inspect the finished home.

3. Put the 11-month inspection on your calendar the day you close. D.R. Horton warranties through RWC, a third party, on a 1-2-10 structure — and the programs vary. Confirm the coverage, the exclusions and the deadlines before you sign, not after.

Checks 4 and 5 are in the next one.

Homes in Salado closed at 99.9% of their final list price — but 97% of original. Translation: sellers cut first, then hold. 73% sold under original ask, and half the actives have already cut. You're not going to steal a home here, but you're negotiating with sellers who priced for last year's market. The playbook is in the full video.

Comment SALADO for the current price-cut list.

Two industrial corridors — not downtown. Meta sits on the industrial east side off Industrial Blvd, and the Rowan projects run along Bob White Rd toward FM 3117. The fight is really about the handful of streets that used to be the edge of town and aren't anymore.

Where D.R. Horton actually builds in Temple, TX — with entry prices.

Pecan Creek — from $222,000 (the MLS shows sales as low as $197,000)
Pepper Creek Crossing — from $226,000, the Express tier
Oak Ridge — from $242,000
Lake Pointe
Homestead — around $465,000 on half-acre lots, a completely different tier of D.R. Horton build

If you want the lowest cost of entry, look at Pecan Creek, Pepper Creek Crossing and Oak Ridge. Good product, competitive price, real incentives.

Belton and Nolanville communities — Hidden Lake Trails, Three Creeks, Warrior's Legacy Ranch — are in the full video.

Over $5 billion in data centers is landing on Temple, TX — and most of the argument happens before anyone answers the basic question: what actually IS a data center?

Inside, it's really just five things: servers, cooling, power, fiber, and security. That's the building. No smokestacks, almost no people — a warehouse for computers that runs 24/7.

Tomorrow I'm publishing the full breakdown of what all of it means for Temple homeowners — prices, water, taxes, and the three rings around every site.

D.R. Horton in Temple, TX runs $195,000 to $467,900. Here's what the middle actually looks like.

Median price: $261,887. Median days on market: 30 — that is fast for new construction, and it tells you buyers here are deciding on the payment, not the finish level.

The top of that range is Homestead, where you get half-acre lots.

One thing to watch: they quote you principal and interest. Taxes and insurance sit on top of that. Get the full payment with taxes and insurance in it before you decide what you can carry.

Central Texas MLS, Temple/Belton/Nolanville/Troy: 120 records, 51 under contract. Data deemed reliable, not guaranteed.

One grocery store. No nightlife. The best brick-oven pizza in a food-truck square, Barrow Brewing right behind it, and 21 Main downtown. Salado has a little bit of everything and not a lot of anything — and that's exactly why people pick it. The honest daily-life rundown is in the full video.

Comment SALADO if you're considering the move.

Every D.R. Horton offer expires September 30. Here's why.

That date is the end of D.R. Horton's fiscal year, so every incentive they run all year funnels toward it. The current offer is 4.50% fixed 30-year FHA/VA through DHI Mortgage, and it dies on the 30th.

The ~3.125% discount point behind that rate is paid by the builder, not by you — confirmed with the D.R. Horton rep on 8/21/2026. Your conditions are DHI financing, primary residence, and closing by 9/30.

For scale: the Freddie Mac 30-year average was 6.67% the week of 8/13/2026.

They'll usually have something after the 30th, but incentives churn. This year alone the spring 0.99% teaser, the 4.99%, and the Red Tag event all came and went.

One correction: I say the site name wrong in the clip. It's templetxhomes.net.

One elementary, one middle, one high school — 2,592 students, up 56% since 2016, projected ~4,100 by the early 2030s. B-rated in 2025, up from a C in 2023. Small district, real growth. What that means for your address and your tax line is in the full video.

Comment SALADO for the district + tax links for a specific property.
