        <title>Memorial Day is HOT with New Home Deals Priced Below MLS</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 



You know, the best DFW New Home DEALS are nearly never fully revealed in MLS. Sure, you can instantly access MLS price reductions on this website and review price histories as an ARGtrade; client. Knowing market pricing is step number ONE for making a better home purchase decision. Having access to instant price reduction information is just another exclusive tool ARGtrade; provides to its clients to help make their online time more productive.


As an ARGtrade; client, I use my 15 years of top producing new home experience to better help you. This includes, price negotiate with the builder, for further concessions and price reductions, referrals to lenders offering excellent rates, and more cost-effective insurance brokers, plus providing advice and helping to solve problems should they arise prior to closing.


Then, when you close your new home, youll get a cash rebate credit (yes, I pay you), which further NETS your new homes final cost basis (home price) below the deal wenbsp;struck withnbsp;your builder. When you consider, the Realtorreg; commission is a built-in component of your new homes final sales price, whether you have an agent or not; means keeping the majority of that cost center in your pocket versus allowing the builder to claim it as an added profit is a choice most buyersnbsp;would want.

        <title>4 Most Popular Bottom Line Investments in America</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 





Every year, Gallup surveys Americans to determine their choice for the best long-term investment. Respondents are given a choice between real estate, stocks, gold, and savings accounts.


For the sixth year in a row, real estate has come out on top as the best long-term investment That has not always been the case. Gallup explains:




ldquo;Between 2008 and 2010, covering most of the Great Recession period that saw plummeting home and stock values, Americans were as likely to name savings accounts or CDs as the best long-term investment as they were to name stocks or real estate.rdquo;




This yearrsquo;s results showed that 35 of Americans chose real estate, followed by stocks at 27. The full results are shown in the chart below.





Bottom Line


Now that the real estate market has recovered, so has the belief of the American people in the stability of housing as a long-term investment.


GET THE FACTS


When shopping for real estate in Dallas Fort Worth,nbsp;ARG offers the most MLS listing details allowed, in fact, we provide up to 50 more listing informationnbsp;than what is typically offered on most competitor websites.nbsp;

        <title>Texas Desperately Needs a Statewide Property Tax Referendum </title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 
We all want to pay our fair share of taxes, but tax appraisal districts are increasingly forcing a sizeable percentage of Dallas Fort Worth area homeowners to pay inflated tax bills based upon an assessed tax value price that exceeds real market values, which as it turns out is a violation of the tax statute. Yeah, ouch


Today, the nuisance of overvalued Texas tax assessments has become an endemic problem. It is not unusual for Metroplex homeowners to see an assessed tax value in their 2019 Tax Notices, that are $50K or more over actual real market values. Many homeowners may not realize they were paying more taxes than they owed until they sell their home for less than their tax assessed value.


How can this problem be fixed? Well, outside of everyone being forced to file a tax protest, how about passing a law that limits assessed tax value to 80 of estimated market value. That should give enough leeway in the math to prevent overvalued assessments. Then freeze all Texas property tax rate increases and tie any property tax rate increases to strict voter approval. You know for years, on average, most DFW Metroplex homes appraised for around 80 of market value, but the last real estate boom ended that as government expenses rose sharply to meet inbound population demands.


Yes, you can call it a property tax crisis, when homeowners are paying upwards of a $1000 or more in annual property taxes they dont legally owe. If the Texas government and taxing appraisal districts do not soon find a new, more fair and balanced method of taxation, then the real estate market itself could begin to suffer as homes become less affordable due to inflated property taxes. 


Texas, it is time to reform property taxes. The opinions are my own.
