🏡 **3,800 NEW HOMES PLANNED FOR WEST FORT WORTH! 🚧🌳**

🔥 North Texas continues to grow — and this latest land deal is another BIG signal of where development is heading!

Hines has acquired the massive **1,476-acre Brown Ranch** in western Fort Worth, with plans for a master-planned community featuring approximately **3,800 homes**.

📍 **HERE'S WHAT'S PLANNED FOR BROWN RANCH:**

🏡 Approximately 3,800 homes
🏪 Approximately 70 acres designated for commercial development
🌳 At least 10 neighborhood parks
🏊 Three or more amenity centers
🚶 An interconnected trail system
🏗️ Six participating homebuilders, including Pulte Homes, Meritage Homes, Beazer Homes, DRB Homes, HistoryMaker Homes and Risewell Homes

📈 **WHY SHOULD NORTH TEXAS BUYERS, SELLERS & INVESTORS PAY ATTENTION?**

✅ **Infrastructure matters.** Planned road improvements are intended to support future development.

✅ **Growth is moving west.** Brown Ranch sits in the western Fort Worth growth corridor near Aledo and the established Walsh community.

✅ **Commercial opportunities could follow rooftops.** Planned commercial acreage could eventually bring additional businesses and services to the area.

✅ **Long-term development creates ripple effects.** Housing supply, traffic, schools, utilities and nearby land values are all factors worth watching as this community takes shape.

💡 **MY TAKE:** Major master-planned communities don't transform an area overnight. Development happens in phases, and infrastructure, builder pricing, job growth and the pace of construction will influence the market over time.

For buyers, sellers, landowners and investors, understanding WHERE North Texas is growing can be just as important as understanding today's market statistics!

📣 **What do you think?** Will western Fort Worth and the Aledo area become one of the region's next major residential growth corridors?

🏡 BUYERS ARE GAINING LEVERAGE IN THE TEXAS HOUSING MARKET! 🤠

Here’s a stat that caught my attention: the number of active homebuyers in the U.S. fell to a record-low 966,752 in July.

Meanwhile, an estimated 1.46 MILLION sellers were on the market.

That means sellers outnumbered buyers by 51.3%. 😳

And Texas is feeling it:

📍 Houston — 130% more sellers than buyers
📍 San Antonio — 116%
📍 Austin — 112%
📍 Dallas — 99%
📍 Fort Worth — 86%

Yet here’s the interesting part… 👀

💰 The median U.S. home-sale price still increased 3.2% year over year, reaching a July record of $407,730.

So what does this mean if you're buying or selling in DFW?

👉 BUYERS: You may have more negotiating power than you’ve had in years. More inventory can mean more choices, more time to think, and more opportunities to negotiate price, repairs, concessions and terms.

👉 SELLERS: This is not the market to simply “test the waters” with an overpriced listing. Pricing, presentation, condition and strategy matter—and the right home can still attract serious buyers.

The market isn’t necessarily bad… it’s changing.

And in a changing market, having someone who understands the numbers can make a BIG difference. 📊🏠

Thinking about buying or selling in Fort Worth, Burleson, Mansfield or the surrounding DFW area?

📲 Let’s talk about what these numbers mean for YOUR specific situation.

RENDON RESIDENTS: Update on the proposed concrete plant off 1187... keep reading !

First, we want to say thank you to every single person who has stood with us in the fight to protect our community. Your support, patience, emails, phone calls, meeting attendance, and willingness to speak up have made a difference. We truly couldn’t do this without you.

We have a positive update to share!

The judge granted our request to dismiss the current case with prejudice. In simple terms, that means the judge agreed that this particular case should be permanently closed and cannot simply be brought back again in the same form. This is the outcome we were hoping for.

There is still one final administrative step. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) must formally process the dismissal. The case will be dismissed either way. The only remaining question is whether the TCEQ’s final action will also specify that it is dismissed “with prejudice,” consistent with the judge’s order.

While there is still a little more work to be done, today’s ruling is an encouraging step forward.

We know many of you have been waiting patiently for updates, and we appreciate your continued support as we move through the final stages of this process. We will continue to keep everyone informed as soon as we receive additional information.

Thank you for standing together to protect the health, safety, and future of our community. Your voices matter, and they are being heard.

🤠 **Texas Trivia of the Day... and it might make you cry just a little.** 😅

On **July 14, 1879**, Texas passed the **Fifty Cent Act**, selling public land for... wait for it...

**50 CENTS AN ACRE.**

Read that again.

Not **$50,000 an acre.**
Not **$5,000 an acre.**
Not even **$500 an acre.**

**Fifty. Cents.** 🤯

Sure, it only lasted a few years before land speculators got a little too creative, but can you imagine being the person who said...

*"Nah... I'm going to wait for prices to come down."* 😂

Some things never change.

I've been in real estate long enough to know there's always someone waiting:
🏡 "I'm going to wait until rates drop."
🌳 "I'm going to wait until land gets cheaper."
📈 "I'm going to wait until the market settles."

History has a funny way of reminding us... yesterday's prices have a habit of becoming today's "I wish I would've."

Whether you're dreaming of a home, a few acres, a ranch, or your next investment, let's have a conversation about what makes sense for **you**—not what the headlines say.

📩 Shoot me a text or comment **"LAND"** below, and let's see what's possible. Texas is still a pretty great investment... even if we missed the 50-cent-an-acre sale. 😉🤠
