Todd and Ian dive into the post-election real estate market in Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW), exploring how the election results are influencing buying, selling, and investing in property.
With the election behind us, many people are moving forward with their real estate plans after months of uncertainty.
The real takeaway is that the uncertainty is over, and buyers and sellers are now more motivated to act!
They also explore current market trends, including how DFW’s growing demand for housing is driving both buying and rental opportunities.
Todd shares expert insights on why now might be an ideal time to buy a home before the spring market kicks in, with predictions that home values will rise as the year progresses. The discussion also touches on how election cycles typically impact the housing market, with slower activity in November followed by a strong recovery in December and into the next year.
They also highlight Princeton, Texas!

In today's show, we dive into the complexities of the housing shortage, a pressing issue affecting many across the nation.
Todd explains that while the data indicates a significant shortage, the reality is more nuanced. The shortage isn't necessarily about people being homeless, but rather about the lack of suitable housing options that meet people's specific needs and preferences.
Todd discusses the factors contributing to the shortage, including rising housing costs, limited supply, and increased demand. He also emphasizes the importance of understanding the local market dynamics and the need for buyers and sellers to work with experienced real estate agents.
We also talk about why we love Sachse, Texas and have a rousing conversation about what you can BURN in your backyard?!

On today's show we tell the story of a buyer who found their dream home in Richardson, Texas with the help of real estate agent Gibson Aguirre. They were under contract for a conventional 15-day close, but their happiness was short-lived when the appraisal came in $71,000 lower than the purchase price. Most buyers in this situation would be discouraged, but Gibson didn't give up.
He explored various options, including disputing the appraisal and switching lenders. Ultimately, they found a new lender who offered a higher appraisal and the buyers were able to close on the house for $5,000 less than the contract price!
We also talk about:
- - The big Fed announcement!
- - Why having a great real estate agent can make all the difference in a difficult situation.
- - What to do if you encounter an appraisal gap.
- - How the fall season can be a good time for buyers to find deals.
- - Tips for choosing the right real estate agent.
And BONUS! DP Lambert, an insurance expert, joins us on the show to discuss the importance of shopping around for homeowners insurance, especially in the current market.

The "Texas Two-Step" - a strategy to benefit from a predicted Federal Reserve rate reduction. The Federal Reserve is expected to cut interest rates on September 18th, potentially leading to lower mortgage rates.
You have to act quickly!
Two Steps: 1. Secure a house under contract before September 18th to lock in today's lower prices. 2. Lock in your mortgage rate 3-4 weeks later after the rate reduction (the "second step"). These predictions are based on economic principles, not guarantees.

The state of the market in DFW right now is that many SELLERS are overwhelmed and confused by the market shift. They need to adjust their expectations and be more patient.
But for BUYERS - now is a good time to buy if you're financially prepared, especially before the Federal Reserve announcement (expected rate reductions) and the winter season (potentially less competition). Cash buyers have a significant advantage.
SELLERS need to transition from black and white thinking to see the nuances of the market. They are currently losing out by not being strategic or realistic about pricing and competition.
BUYERS may be overly focused on interest rates instead of the bigger picture (total cost of ownership). We are debunking the common myth that "BUYERS ARE LIARS AND SELLERS ARE TOO." Buyers are often misinformed, while sellers might be more prone to withholding information due to fear of disclosure.

We are rolling into the end of the summer market and there are real opportunities! It's a GREAT time to be a BUYER - Todd breaks down WHY!
Dallas is leading the nation in mortgage refinancing and we told people that this could happen. The messaging of the last couple of decades wired us to wear our mortgage rate like a badge of honor, when in reality it was an element of the market that we all benefited from and you were smart to secure. But this has caused us to be foolish and undervalue other things that are really important.

Expect mortgage rates to come down about a tenth of a point per month for the next year, when this happens the National Association of Realtors and many other research groups believe that somewhere in the range of 5 million American households become capable of buying every 1% of rate reduction, which only creates more competition for YOU!
And yet many of us would rather have a low rate than a lower purchase price on the house! We have been trained this way - Todd breaks down another perspective.
We have a big conversation about the POWER of home ownership.
