Picture a couple who’s lived in their Southlake home for years. They’re ready for the next chapter but aren’t sure where to start.

Their first question is usually the same: “What’s our home worth?”

An online estimate and a neighbor’s recent sale give them two very different answers. Neither accounts for their updates, their lot, or their home’s condition.

So we start with a goal, not a house. Where are they headed, and what timing works for them?

Then we build a price from true similar properties, plus a prep plan that spends money where it helps and skips where it doesn’t.

When an offer comes in, it’s about more than price. Terms, timing, and a clean contract all shape the result.

From there, I coordinate with their lender, inspector, title company, and closing agent so deadlines don’t slip.

Whether you’re in Southlake, Keller, Arlington, or anywhere in Dallas-Fort Worth, the process looks a lot like this. Every home is different, though.

No promises on sale price or timeline. Just a clear plan and someone who responds when you call.

Thinking about your own next chapter in North Texas? Text me or comment “READY” below and I’ll share how we’d map out your plan.

Thinking about Southlake or Westlake for your next home?

These two towns sit side by side along SH 114 and SH 170, minutes from DFW Airport. That access matters.

Southlake is the established address. Southlake Town Square gives you walkable dining and shopping, with lot sizes few North Texas suburbs match.

Westlake is intentionally small, about 1,840 residents as of 2022. Yet roughly 18,000 people work there on a typical day, many at Solana Business Park.

Growth there is planned, not random. Circle T Ranch covers about 2,500 acres, with 230 acres set aside for parkland.

Entrada, about 85 acres, plans 1M+ sq ft of office, retail, hotel and entertainment space, plus 300+ homes.

Across DFW, almost half of listings had a price cut in August. This segment moves differently, but buyers generally have more room to negotiate than a few years ago.

Looking at Westlake Academy? It's open-enrollment, so admission isn't tied to your address. Check directly with the school.

Weighing Southlake, Westlake, Colleyville or Grapevine? I'll show you what's actually available.

Comment or message "ESTATE" and I'll send you a quick breakdown.

SALES PRICE – Overall, sales prices are down (-1.5%) Y2Y, mostly driven by continuing drop in New Construction pricing (-4.4%). Resale prices have remained relatively flat the last 5 years, while New Construction dropped -11.1% since 2022. The impact on New Construction is greater than the numbers show since builder incentives are not included in this data.
ORIGINAL LIST PRICE (asking price) – Overall, the Original List is slightly down from the last 2 years, but has increased +3.3% since 2022. During this time, Resale is up +6.3% and New Construction is down -13.7%.
DAYS ON MARKET (DOM) – The days on market has tripled since the rush of 2022 and is now up to the higher end of the normal range (45-60 days) at 59 days. Part of this is driven by continuing pressure from New Construction and part is the increasing gap between the asking price and the eventual selling price. Buyers have more time to shop and evaluate properties. This is Resale only data since New Construction Days on Market is not a true representation of the time they have marketed the home.
% of ORIGINAL PRICE – The difference between Ask and Get continues to expand. Currently, the gap is roughly -10%. A common phrase is “Sellers are stuck in 2022, while Buyers are in 2009.” This gap between Ask and Get and the DOM will shrink when Sellers price more realistically with the market demand. Homes priced correctly are moving quickly still.
RESALE MONTHS SUPPLY – Overall, supply of For Sale homes has levelled into a more “Neutral” range at 4.6 months. This means it’s not necessarily a Buyer’s or Seller’s Market. This does vary quite a bit from community to community. Some local communities are showing only about 2 months of inventory, while others are up as high as 7 months of inventory (especially where there is a lot of New Construction). It’s been reported that New Construction nationally is sitting on between 10-11 months worth of inventory.
HOMES FOR SALE (inventory) – For Sale inventory may be levelling off since it’s slightly down Y2Y. New Construction inventory is much greater than what is reported by the MLS.
NEW LISTINGS – A leading indicator on the health of the market. New Listings are flat Y2Y. Overall, total New Listings are up +21.7% since 2022. During that time Resale is up +12.7% and New Construction +75.7%.
PENDING SALES (homes under contract) – Total homes Pending has been relatively flat over the last five (5) years. Resale is up +4.0% Y2Y (back to 2023 level), but down -14.0% from the peak of 2022. New Construction continues to grow, increasing +100.0% since 2022.
CLOSED SALES – Total sales are up +2.7% Y2Y, driven by Resale (+4.2%) with New Construction being flat. Resale has shown consistent growth the last four (4) from its peak of 2022. New Construction is doing better than the numbers from the MLS reflect.

At the mid-year mark, Flower Mound is outperforming the overall DFW resale market.

May ‘26 saw a record sales price. It also has fewer days on market (DFW avg DOM is 51), and less inventory supply based on demand (DFW is 5.2 months).

Flower Mound is moving towards a “Balanced Market” (4-6 months inventory).

Inventory has grown, but Demand is also up which is helping maintain solid sales prices.

This is impressive considering the increase in New Construction in and around Flower Mound.
