Just because Drees Custom Homes in Dallas Fort Worth is not advertising their rock bottom new home prices in MLS, doesn't mean they don't exist! Home values are not based upon what the seller says they are worth, but what a buyer is willing to pay and that takes negotiations. Some communities with higher buyer demand maintain good margins for the builder, but not every community carries that prestige and not every homesite and floorplan earns top dollar.

Some communities are closing out, some are just getting started and need contracts, and some are just under performing on sales forecasts. That is where buyers can carry a biger stick into negotiations and cut a very nice bargain. Just click the Red Link Bar to begin viewing DFW area Drees Homes

Texas is a summertime location, with months of hot weather, some years, worse than others, and having your own backyard pool can help you and your family cope as well as provide many years of happy memories.

With your own private pool, sunshine becomes your new Texas friend!

Tip: Use the "White Input Area" of the "MLS Location Bar Listing Finder" (found at the top of the page) to select city, town, zip code, school or school district, or master-planned community name. You can even input street names without the number to see if homes with pools are offered

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:

“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.”

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

Here's some positive housing news! Today's homebuyers can now find mortgage interest rates below 4% on 30-year money, and near 3.25% for 15-year money. Rates are the lowest they have been in over a year. Additionally, market forces are biased towards lower future interest rates. That makes now a great time to find your next home or to start a new construction "build-job" with a close date in 2020.

If you're looking to find a deal on a new home, I can help you connect to value, offer a Free New Home Move-up where you save half or even ALL of the traditional 6% listing commission, or a cool cash rebate that will put thousands of dollars back in your pocket.

Rules such as a decluttering, and removing non-mission critical personal items to storage, fixing cosmetic issues, and correcting light management issues that affect buyer impression, followed by a careful review of closets, pantry, laundry room and finally a thorough clean-up, including windows and landscaping, are all checklist items that will help you get the job done.
