  1. When Is the BEST Time to Buy or Sell Land in DFW? (Small Acreage Seasonality Explained)

    When Is the BEST Time to Buy or Sell Land in DFW? (Small Acreage Seasonality Explained)

    Today we’re talking about something that really matters if you love land, own land, or dream about owning a big backyard property: Seasonality for homes on small acreage (½ acre to 5+ acres) in DFW. Most people assume real estate seasonality is simple - spring and summer are hot, fall and winter are slow. But does that hold true for homes on land? The truth? Homes on land follow a similar seasonal bell curve as traditional home, but they operate on multiple levels: Buying & selling cycles Planting & pruning cycles Tax valuation timing School & family schedules Even the emotional “romance” of being outside If you’re buying, you may want to shop when everything looks dormant and other buyers aren’t excited. If you’re selling, you want to tell the story - apples on the tree, grill fired up, swing hanging in the oak tree. That’s strategy. And that’s what most people miss. If you’re thinking about buying, selling, or just maximizing the lifestyle of your acreage property, we’d love to help. 214-310-0008 Don’t just follow the crowd. Understand the seasons. Use them to your advantage.

    The Truth About Real Estate Seasonality (Most People Get This Wrong)

    This week we’re tackling what sounds like a boring topic… but could make or save you a LOT of money: seasonality in the residential real estate market. Most people think real estate = spring and summer. Buy when school’s out. Sell when the flowers bloom. Wait until the weather’s nice. But is that actually the smartest move? Here’s the big takeaway: There’s nothing wrong with buying or selling in peak season… unless you’re doing it without a strategy. Whether you're thinking about buying, selling, remodeling, or just trying to time things wisely - there are opportunities in every season. You just need to know how to navigate them. If you want a customized game plan instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, give us a call 214-310-0008 to connect with our team. We’d love to help you win in spring, winter, or any time in between. www.dallashomerealty.com And remember… Should you follow the crowd? No. Totally. Haha

    The Market Shift No One’s Talking About: Multiple Offers

    What does Groundhog Day, the big NFL championship weekend, and a random water tower behind your house have to do with Dallas–Fort Worth real estate? More than you think. Todd, Courtney, and Ian break down what’s actually happening on the ground in the DFW housing market right now - including: why multiple offers are quietly creeping backhow winter weather (yes, ice storms) can create massive advantages for buyers and sellerswhy waiting for “spring market” isn’t always the smart move. They also get into the stuff most people don’t talk about: Does THE BIG GAME weekend kill real estate activity or create opportunity?How much does it really matter what your home backs up to (greenbelts, power lines, schools, highways, water towers)? Why poorly marketed homes sometimes hide HUGE upside? The timing mistakes buyers and sellers make every single year And how informed, strategic moves beat groupthink every time. It’s part market update, part real-world strategy, part laugh-out-loud banter and part reminder that real estate decisions affect way more than just your finances. If you’re thinking about buying, selling, upsizing, downsizing, getting land, or just trying to understand where the DFW market is headed, this episode will help you think differently (and smarter).

  4. What a New Mavs Stadium Could Do to Dallas Real Estate

    What a New Mavs Stadium Could Do to Dallas Real Estate

    Big questions, strong opinions, and some real talk about North Texas real estate - let’s go. In this episode, we cover a lot of ground, starting with the buzz around a possible NEW Dallas Mavericks stadium and why it matters far beyond basketball. We dig into where it could land, how stadiums historically reshape cities, and what that kind of development does to nearby neighborhoods, traffic, walkability, and long-term residential property values. From there, we zoom out to the bigger picture of urban energy, how real estate follows momentum, and why places like Frisco have exploded with growth thanks to sports, entertainment, and massive mixed-use development. That leads us straight into a North Dallas showdown: MCKINNEY VERSUS FRISCO. Both are incredible cities, both rank high for schools, amenities, and lifestyle, but they feel very different. We break down the vibes, affordability, growth paths, sports influence, downtown charm, and who each city is really right for. We also talk about the recent snow and ice days, not just the fun and chaos, but how weather events quietly stall real estate activity and distort market data. Closings pause, showings stop, inspections don’t happen… and months (or even years) later, headlines completely miss the context. If you’ve ever wondered why market stats don’t always match reality, this is why. If you’re trying to understand where the Dallas–Fort Worth market is headed, thinking about a move, or just want a clearer picture of what’s really going on, you’re in the right place.

  5. Mortgage Rates Are Falling. Here's Why Buying a Home Just Got Harder.

    Mortgage Rates Are Falling. Here's Why Buying a Home Just Got Harder.

    Can the president actually impact mortgage rates — or is that just noise? And what does any of it mean if you’re thinking about buying or selling a home in DFW right now? In this episode Todd is joined by a full studio crew for a real, unscripted conversation about what’s happening right now in the Dallas Fort Worth housing market, from mortgage rates to buyer optimism to where people are actually moving. We have an all-out (friendly) showdown about East Plano vs. East Richardson. No rankings. No negativity. Just real insight from people who live here, work here, and sell homes in these neighborhoods every day. We also talk about homes on land, desirable neighborhoods, and why areas like Weatherford, Aledo, and expanding northern DFW suburbs continue to attract buyers looking for space and lifestyle, not just a house. The big takeaway? This market rewards prepared buyers and realistic sellers. Rates coming down doesn’t automatically make things easier, it brings more competition, higher prices, and tougher terms. If you’re thinking about buying, selling, investing, or just trying to understand what the market is doing, this episode will give you clarity without the hype. Have questions about DFW real estate?

  8. 2026 DFW Housing Market: The Good News You’ve Been Waiting For

    JAN 5

    2026 DFW Housing Market: The Good News You’ve Been Waiting For

    This episode is officially a GOOD NEWS ONLY show, and honestly… there’s a lot to be excited about right now. We kick things off talking about how wild it feels to say 2026 out loud, then quickly get into why this year is shaping up to be one of the healthiest real estate markets DFW has seen in a long time. More inventory, more realistic sellers, more options for buyers, and a market that finally feels balanced instead of chaotic. If you’ve been wondering, “Is this finally a good time to buy?” or “Should we sell now or wait?” — we break down what’s actually happening on the ground, without the fear-based headlines or hype. We also talk about: - Why a balanced market is secretly the best market for both buyers and sellers - What today’s mortgage rates and potential Fed cuts could mean moving forward - Why investors (including first-timers) are quietly finding solid opportunities again - How rents have stabilized and what that means if you’re renting or thinking about buying And because this is DFW, we zoom out a little and talk about the World Cup coming to North Texas and why that’s a huge win for the local economy, growth, and long-term real estate outlook. There’s also a fun, unexpected detour into business lessons from a visit to Chick-fil-A’s headquarters — covering leadership, simplicity, customer trust, and why doing the basics really well still wins. We wrap things up by talking lifestyle: big backyard properties, acreage, dream neighborhoods, and why sometimes the best move isn’t out of DFW... it’s just to a different part of it. If 2026 is the year you want clarity instead of confusion around real estate, this episode is for you. If you want to sit down for a free, no-pressure real estate strategy session, you can call or text 214-310-0008, or find us online at toddtramonteteam.com. 👉 Subscribe so you don’t miss future episodes, and thanks for starting the year with us.
