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... 01/03/2023

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.

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... 12/27/2021
