        <title>The RIGHT Information is POWER How to Find The OLDEST New Home Listings Anywhere in DFW Highland Homes Example Provided</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 
When you search for a new home on texasnewhomerebates.com, you have special sort filters that allow you to quickly rearrange search results, and in this case, to help you find the the oldest new home listings first based upon DOM (Days on Market in MLS). Knowing this information can improve your bargaining power as no builder wants a completed new home to sit for an indefinite period of time. Each month a SPEC or Inventory Home sits, the builders margin decreases about 1 and so builders often will deal on a home to end their margin erosion and to get the home off their books and this is even more important during a builders fiscal year sale.


When you use the right tools, you can gain leverage.


EXAMPLE: Looking for a New Highland Home in Prosper.


This is Really Simple




Click DFW MLS (first link on the left on the main Navigation Bar.) This will open a New Window so You can keep reading here.


Click on the More Options drop down and that opens your input Form.


Click Prosper, or you can click multiple cities or no cities to get the whole shooting match


Click New Construction (best to click both complete and incomplete). This eliminates pre-owned listings.


Click the Builder Highland Homes, or as many builders as you like or NO builders at all if you want to see ALL builders at once


Click Property Sub-type and for most people select Single Family.


Click Update Search Result.


NOW on your newly generated Thumbnail Results Page look for the SORT drop down (Graphic Below) and select Oldest Listings First. This will re-sort listing order so the OLDEST New Homes are at the head of the list. If you click the Graphic below, it will take you to Highland Homes oldest listings in Prosper.







Now you see, that was easy Happy House Hunting

    <description> <![CDATA[ 
Fiscal year end sales are a great way to work deals with new home builders who are wanting to close out their books with the best financials possible. Carrying inventory into the next fiscal year is a RED MARK, that builders would rather not have to show. Most builders close out in the Fall or at years end, but Drees Homes closes out at the end of March. If you are able to close by 3/31 youll get incentives from Drees that wont be offered on April 1. Give Mike a call at ARG at 214-727-3686 about special bonus rebates, negotiates and home availability.

        <title>Boycott Carrier Air Conditioning Company - Clintons NAFTA Still Destroying American Jobs and Families</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 
Government and big business in 2016 are continuing their open assault on manufacturing jobs in America. NAFTA has to be one of the worst governmental results of any Western nation on the planet. Workers lives are now conveniently reduced to, its a business decision.


If that is the case, then the American people also need to make a business decision to boycott companies like Carrier Air Conditioning (United Technologies) who announced yesterday that they are moving their manufacturing and distribution facilities outside of the U.S. to Monterrey Mexico but intend to import their cheaply made foreign products at greater profits back into the U.S. while avoiding Tariffs all thanks to NAFTA.


Approximately 2100 American jobs will be eliminated affecting workers, their families and the community at large. You would think that any FREE TRADE legislation would include long term, livable unemployment compensation and health insurance coverage to prevent families from immediate economic hardships as well as retraining assistance so that workers can upgrade their skill sets.


While business leaders and establishment Politicians decry socialism they are writing lopsided corporate welfare laws that award multi-national corporations with windfall style profits at the cost and loss of the working class. Contrary to popular belief and unlike a common household appliance, these disenfranchised workers simply cant be unplugged, but that is exactly what Federal Free Trade treaties written by multi-national corporations and establishment politicians are doing to the working class, regardless of borders.


 Since the Presidency of Bill Clinton and his signing into law the first of many grotesquely anti-American middle class trade bills or NAFTA, followed by his WTO authorization to allow China in the WTO which culminated in the loss of millions of quality jobs under the Bush administration, the American middle class worker has found themselves increasingly abandoned by both Federal political parties. Internationally, many of the recipient nations of outsourced American jobs have seen no improvement in their poverty levels, as Free trade is designed to exploit cheap labor regardless of nationality. Sadly a whole host of social problems have emerged across the U.S. including an epidemic of suicide as fully disenfranchised, and chronically under-employed Americans try and deal with the corporate takeover of Washington D.C.nbsp;


If Obamas TPP (Trans Pacific Partnership) gets fast tracked, America will continue to shed middle class manufacturing jobs and destroy an untold number of lives in the process. Comparatively speaking, we are all aware of the unspeakable images of middle east terrorists beheading their victims and are shocked, but why are we not shocked to learn that a far greater number of lives have been lost as a direct result reckless Federal trade legislation? Perhaps big media is part of the new neo-government that is by, for and of big business? Lincoln once said a house divided against itself can not stand and the same can be said about businesses divided against the working class.


The really good news is this year you have an important political choice to make, one that will have lasting consequences. Without naming names, we finally have 2 candidates from both sides of the aisle that appear to be authentic and independent and focused on the people. This might be a rare chance at gaining back our collective middle class voices and God only knows that wont happen if we continue to elect more of the same Super PAC funded establishment politicians. Donald Trump indicated that he will Tear up NAFTA if elected. One could only hope.


It is time to end all Free Trade agreements like NAFTA and replace them with Fair Trade agreements or referendums that are voted upon during general elections. This way people can retain their collective democratic voices concerning potentially life altering trade legislation. Ross Perot you were right. The opinions are my own.

        <title>MLS Listing Accuracy? Why Accurate Listing Information Really Matters to Home Sellers and Buyers</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 
You know it really is not difficult to do this job right. It takes the right mental attitude, attention to detail, a caring personality and the willingness to work. With that said why do so many listing agents from some of the biggest brokerage names, insist on listing their clients homes incorrectly in MLS?


How the Public MLS System Works


The number one question sellers need to ask of their prospective listing agent is this, how do buyers FIND their listing in MLS? The answer is rather simple actually, buyers enter their individual search criteria into any number of real estate websites and if your home fits their inputted description, youre on the short LIST Unfortunately with many listing agents today, your home never makes the list because your listing contains easily correctable but inaccurate listing information. You see when buyers cant find your home because your listing criteria does not match their search input, even though your home is exactly what certain buyers are looking for, you stand a real chance that your days on market (DOM) will increase and after awhile buyers and their agents will begin to think there are problems and begin to avoid your home. Also the tendency is for listings to lose value the longer they are in MLS and even in a good sellers market your home could expire unsold and if that happens, your home will have to carry this failure to sell record for all to see and ask questions about, when it gets listed again.nbsp;





Time to Call it Like it is


Well, Im calling Balderdash again and alerting sellers and prospective buyers to carefully examine all MLS listings regardless of the website your on because listing mistakes are everywhere, from starter homes to luxury homes. In fact, on this website, youll notice when you compare listing photos (photos dont lie) to actual agent inputted listing information that oftentimes the photos shows images of a Study, Game room and Media room, while the listing lacks this critical floor plan information. Additionally, it is also common for listings to miss bedrooms and bathrooms or have them on the wrong floor, which changes your floor plan to prospective buyers and is the number one cause for unwanted showings that basically works to waste everyones time.nbsp;


When you see such listings that are obviously incomplete and lack correct information perhaps you should make mental note so when it comes time to find a listing agent yourself, youll at least know who to avoid.

        <title>How to PREVENT Listing Your Home for TOO High a Price</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 
This one is easy. Your homes inherent market value is based upon the market (supply and demand). If the market agrees with your suggested sales price, your home sells, if it does not, your home sits and sits and can wind up selling for less than what the market would have paid, had you priced your house correctly up front.


Selling for market value means your buyer and their Realtorreg; and the banks appraiser all AGREE with your asking price relative to other comparable neighborhood Comps and individual cost adjusting factors that may apply to your specific home. Sure there may be exceptions and factors that might allow you net you over COMPS, but that depends on scarcity, location, schools, and or getting multiple competing offers on your home shortly after it is listed.nbsp;nbsp;


So how does a home seller guard against real estate agents who may claim they can sell their home for more money than what market COMPS indicate?


Well before you agree to work with an agent who is proposing a price that is clearly above market comps, ask that agent IF you cant sell for that price, will they be willing to waive their sellers agent commission to help compensate you for selling your home at a lower sales price? Asking such a question usually exposes the baloney and youll know who you can trust and hire who you cant and should avoid.
