A little North Texas homeowner reminder because apparently our sprinkler systems don't know it's October. 🍂

After such a hot, dry September, I think a lot of us got very used to our summer watering schedules.

But now is a good time to actually check your sprinkler controller instead of letting it keep doing whatever it has been doing since July.

DFW Airport received only 0.17 inches of rain in September, compared with a normal 2.72 inches, so yes — our yards really were dry. But as temperatures start changing, our lawns generally don't need the same watering schedule they needed during the summer.

One resource I recently found and thought was worth sharing is Texas A&M AgriLife's WaterMyYard program. You can enter your information and get weekly recommendations for how long your irrigation system actually needs to run based on local conditions.

Basically: water for the weather we're having now, not the weather we had two months ago. 🌱

And while you're standing at the sprinkler controller, October is also a pretty good time to make sure you know how to shut the system off and where your outdoor pipes/backflow preventer are before North Texas inevitably decides to go from 85° to freezing overnight.

Nothing groundbreaking — just one of those little homeowner things that's easy to forget and can save some water, money and headaches later.

If you've been hearing that DFW is flooded with homes for sale… here's an interesting little reality check. 🏡

I was looking through the newest Texas housing data, and one number surprised me: DFW actually had 4.3% fewer active homes for sale in July than we did a year ago.

We're sitting around 4.6 months of inventory, and the DFW home-price index was basically flat from last year — down just 0.2%.

And on the Fort Worth side of the Metroplex? Fort Worth–Arlington has now seen four straight months of year-over-year price gains.

Does that mean we've suddenly swung back into the crazy 2021 market? Absolutely not. Buyers have more choices and more negotiating power than they did a few years ago, and pricing a home correctly from the beginning matters a lot.

But it does mean that the blanket statement I keep hearing — “There are way too many houses for sale and nothing is moving” — doesn't really tell the whole story.

This is also why I hesitate when someone asks me, “How's the DFW market?”

Dallas isn't Aledo.

Aledo isn't McKinney.

McKinney isn't Sherman.

And honestly, two neighborhoods five minutes apart can behave very differently.

If you're thinking about moving, I wouldn't make a decision based on a national headline — or even a DFW headline. Look at what's actually happening in your neighborhood, your price range, and with homes comparable to yours.

That's where the useful information is.
