The last few months of the year saw the roll out of some pretty good new home incentives.  As is typical in any year, builders work to sweep inventory off their books for end of year reporting, and the end of 2022 was no different.  Entering 2023 there are still a few remaining discounts and new home incentives in the North Fort Worth area that savvy new home buyers should take a look at. Incentives in Northlake's Pecan Square include financing concessions and reduced prices. Price reductions are less prevalent in Argyle's Harvest, but builders are willing to contribute towards buyers closing costs. I'm even seeing a combination of financing and price reductions in North Fort Worth neighborhoods of Wildflower Ranch.  If you're considering new homes in the Northeast Tarrant County and So...

The City of Argyle is growing, and the homes in the first planned multi-use development of Waterbrook are building out. The 290 single family homes currently under construction will be buffered on the north side along FM 407 and on the west side against Highway 114 by retail and office space. Waterbrook home sites include 40 foot wide patio home lots as well as more typical 50 foot and oversized 65 foot wide properties.

Sping has sprung here in the Metroplex, and despite uncertainty like conflict overseas, inflation at home, and rising interest rates, the robust housing market chugs along.So what can you expect Spring 2022?1. Rising interest rates.Experts project mortgage rates to continue to climb through spring and the rest of the year.  In fact they're already a full point higher than just six months ago. These higher rates affect both move-up and first-time buyers as they face higher home prices in addition to a higher cost over the life of a loan. 2. Increasing Availability of Homes??The National Association of Realtors reports the supply of available homes has increased for the first time in eight months.  We're not seeing a noticeable increase in inventory through Southlake, Keller, Roanoke, Arg...

Thinking about buying a home in 2022. If so you're probably asking yourself is now a good time.  Will a home lose value in 2022?  Or will home appreciation continue in 2022 and beyond in the Tarrant and Denton County Texas market?       There are still more home buyers than home sellers heading into the new year, and even with more inventory coming on the market that doesn't appear likely to change.  The law of supply and demand doesn't change.  So experts projects home prices will continue climbing in 2022, just at a more reasonable pace.  No major industry expert expects home depreciation in 2022.  In fact, their estimates average out to a 5.1 percent increase across the U.S.  So what does that mean for us here in North Texas? While we likely won't see the 22% year over year increase...

 New home construction has exploded in the Argyle School District in recent years. Large, master planned neighborhoods like Canyon Falls and Harvest are bringing new students to the district in suchlarge numbers, the district is expected to double in size in a 5 year period. But AISD has a plan for that. In 2017 there were just under 2700 AISD Eagles. Projections for 2023? An almost doubling of students to 5060. While it seems astounding that a district could double in size in just five years, the growth is not unlike what other districts in the DFW Metroplex have smoothly transitioned through.  What makes the growth in the Argyle ISD different is that it will still remain so small. The entire district will still be home to less students than can be found populating one 6A High School i...
