metroplex: 20 Tips to Win a Bidding War - 04/22/14 02:03 PM
It's getting brutal right now in the DFW market.   Lots of cash offers and lots of homes getting multiple offers.

Here are my bull whacking tips for winning what is quickly becoming all out war for home buyers or in Texas terms a Steer Wrestling Contest.

If you are looking for new residential construction in Anna, TX and the DFW Dallas - Fort Worth Metroplex area, you've come to the right place.  Please be advised new construction has slowed significantly in the past couple of years.   There are often very few spec homes built by builders, so often you will need to start the process from the ground up.   Many areas like Addison, Coppell, and Plano have very few new residential developments due to space constraints.
