63 days. That's how long the typical Lake Dallas / Hickory Creek home (75065) took to sell this summer. A year ago it was 54.

Translation:
Buyers, you've got breathing room again. Time for an inspection, asking for repairs, actually negotiating... without five other offers in the mix.
Sellers, the homes still flying off the market are the ones priced right on day one. If yours is sitting way past 63 days, that's usually the price talking, not the market. (Sorry. Someone had to say it.)

Honestly the most buyer-friendly stretch we've had around here in a while.

So be real with me: buy now with room to negotiate, or wait and hope rates drop? Tell me below

I explain every step before it happens. Here's why. 💛

Buying or selling a home is stressful, especially if you're naturally anxious, like my client Kelsi was when we sold her home.

"I can't recommend Kelly enough! I'm naturally a very anxious person and he made sure that I was well informed through every step of the process. His enthusiasm and attention to detail are unmatched. I'm so grateful for him and look forward to using his services again when it's time to buy!" — Kelsi M.

My promise to every client: you'll never wonder what's happening next.

Thinking about selling or buying a home in Lake Dallas, Corinth or Hickory Creek and already feeling overwhelmed? Send me a message. No pressure, just a plan.

What part of moving stresses you out the most? 👇

New homeowner in Denton County? Don't skip this one. 🏡

File your homestead exemption with the Denton Central Appraisal District once the home is your main residence. It lowers your home's taxable value, and filing is FREE. Ignore the mailers that charge a fee to do it for you.

Send this to a friend who just closed on a house.
Did you know filing was free? 👇
Comment or DM me "HOMESTEAD" and I'll send you the link to file, or grab both of my free guides at the link in my bio.

Your Lake Cities weekend, in 4 lines. 🎃

Saturday is Halloween, so porch lights on in Lake Dallas, Corinth, Hickory Creek and Shady Shores.
Sunday at 2 AM the clocks fall back an hour. (Extra sleep. Unless you have kids and a candy haul.)
Heads-up if you planned a lake day: the Willow Grove Park boat ramp in Lake Dallas is still closed because of low water (City of Lake Dallas, as of 10/29).
And a newer spot to try: Onyx Dine & Drinks on N Stemmons Fwy in Hickory Creek. Italian and modern fusion with a full bar, open Tue–Sun, bar till midnight Fri + Sat.

Send this to whoever's planning your weekend. Have you tried Onyx yet? 👇

"I'll just wait until spring." Respectfully… let's talk. 🍂

Fall and winter can be the sweet spot to buy a home in the Lake Cities: usually less competition, and sellers listing now often need to move.

Send this to the friend who keeps saying "after the holidays."
Would you buy in the fall or wait for spring? 👇

Your down payment isn't the only number that matters. 👀

3 costs Texas buyers forget to budget for: closing costs, property taxes (no state income tax, but property taxes make up for it), and HOA dues plus insurance.

Save this for when you start house hunting in Lake Dallas, Corinth or Hickory Creek.
Which one surprised you most? 👇

Don't tour a single house until you've done these 7 things. 📋

Most first-time buyers start on Zillow. The ones who win start here: talk to a lender, get pre-approved, know your monthly payment (not just the price), save for closing costs, pick your must-haves, test-drive the commute, and line up your own agent.

Save this for later, and send it to a friend who's renting and thinking about buying. Looking at homes for sale in Lake Dallas or Corinth TX? Message me "GUIDE" and I'll send you my free buyer guide, or grab both guides at kellymasonrealtor.com/free-guides
