How can Keller make it easier and safer to get around on foot? We want to hear from you!

Keller is developing its first Pedestrian Facilities Master Plan, a citywide effort to improve pedestrian connectivity, accessibility and safety. Funded through a TxDOT grant, the plan includes an ADA Transition Plan to help make sidewalks and crossings more accessible, along with Safe Routes to School Plans focused on pedestrian safety near Keller schools.

The project team from Kimley-Horn will be at Flannel Fest on Nov. 7 to share findings so far and gather community feedback. Stop by to learn more and share your thoughts on where Keller can improve.

Buying a home with your spouse is a big milestone. But have you ever stopped to think about what would happen to the house if one of you passed away?

Many couples assume that because both names are on the property, the surviving spouse automatically becomes the sole owner. Unfortunately, it doesn't always work that way.

How a property is titled matters. The way ownership is recorded, the terms of the deed, and the laws that apply to the property can all affect what happens next.

So, before you assume your home will automatically pass to your spouse, take a moment to review your property documents.

Ask your title company or a qualified real estate attorney how your home is legally owned, whether survivorship rights have been properly established, and whether your current arrangements reflect what you and your spouse want.

These are conversations worth having while everything is in order, not when your family is already dealing with a difficult loss.

Your home is more than a financial investment. It's where you've built a life, and it's worth understanding how to protect it.

Save this post as a reminder to review your property documents, and share it with a couple who owns a home together.

Imagine finding the perfect piece of land, agreeing on the price, and paying your deposit, only to discover that the person selling it may not actually own it.

This is one reason buyers need to be careful with vacant land. In a seller-impersonation scam, someone poses as the legitimate property owner and tries to sell land they have no right to sell. The documents and communication may look convincing, and the buyer may not realise anything is wrong until the money is gone.

So, what should you check before buying?

1. Verify the seller’s identity. Don’t assume that someone who has the property details and paperwork is the rightful owner.

2. Use a reputable title company. It can investigate the ownership history, identify certain claims or liens, and help confirm that the seller has the legal right to transfer the property.

3. Be cautious of deals that feel rushed. A seller demanding a quick cash sale, offering a price well below market value, or refusing reasonable identity checks deserves extra scrutiny.

4. Verify payment instructions independently. Never send closing funds based only on new or unexpected email instructions. Contact the title company using a phone number you have independently verified.

Here’s the part many buyers overlook: seeing the land and receiving a deed are not enough on their own to establish that a transaction is safe. The ownership and closing process need to be properly verified.

A little due diligence before you buy can save you from a very expensive mistake.

Here are 5 things that can make buyers hesitate when viewing your home, and they’re easy to overlook.

1. The front door tells a story before the showing begins.

Peeling paint, dirty glass or worn hardware can make the entrance feel neglected. Buyers may start forming an impression before they’ve seen the interior. Make sure the entry looks cared for, not just the rooms inside.

2. Dark rooms can make a good floor plan feel worse.

A room with closed blinds, burnt-out bulbs or poorly placed lighting can feel smaller and less inviting than it really is. Open the curtains, replace dead bulbs and make sure the lighting helps buyers see the space clearly.

3. Small signs of neglect can raise bigger questions.

Discoloured caulk, unexplained ceiling stains, peeling paint and loose fixtures may prompt buyers to wonder whether maintenance has been put off. Address what you can, and investigate signs of possible water damage instead of simply covering them up.

4. Little things that don't work can undermine confidence.

Sticky doors, drawers that won't slide and cabinets that refuse to close may seem minor individually. But when buyers encounter several issues during one showing, they may start wondering what else needs attention.

5. Lingering odours can overshadow everything else.

Pet smells, smoke, cooking odours or mustiness can be difficult for homeowners to notice because they're used to their own space. Identify and address the source rather than trying to cover it with strong fragrances.

These details don't automatically make a home sit unsold. But when buyers are comparing several properties, avoidable concerns can affect how they perceive a home's condition and value.

Before listing, walk through your home as if you're seeing it for the first time. What might make a buyer pause, ask questions or hesitate?

Some of the things worth checking at an open house aren't the things people usually spend time looking at.

Before you leave, take a closer look at these six spots:

1. The ceilings. Water stains, bubbling paint or a freshly patched area? Ask whether there was a leak and what was done to fix it.

2. The window frames. Check the trim and the wall around the windows for peeling paint, discoloration or signs of moisture.

3. The faucets and toilets. If you're permitted to test them, look for leaks, slow drainage and toilets that keep running after flushing.

4. The switches and outlets. Try the light switches and note anything that doesn't work or looks damaged. Leave electrical testing to a professional.

5. The HVAC system. Ask how old it is, when it was last serviced and whether there are repair records. In North Texas, you'll want to understand the condition of the system you'll rely on through summer.

6. Under the sinks. Check the cabinet base for dampness, swollen wood, water marks or a musty smell. These can be clues to a leak, even when the rest of the room looks fine.

None of these signs automatically means a house has a major problem. What matters is asking the right questions and having anything concerning investigated.

An open house gives you a first look. A professional inspection helps you investigate further.

A house can be everything you wanted and still leave you wondering whether you chose the right place to live.

And sometimes, the house isn't the problem.

You might love the kitchen, the backyard and the neighborhood, but what does a normal Tuesday look like once you're living there? How long is the drive to work? What does it cost to keep the house comfortable through a Texas summer? Are the property taxes what you expected? Can you get to the places you visit regularly without spending half your day in the car?

These are the things I'd want you to think through before moving to North Texas.

First, don't underestimate the summer heat. It affects more than your outdoor plans. Ask about the home's energy efficiency, insulation, windows and previous utility bills where available. Two houses with similar asking prices can have very different running costs.

Then look beyond the mortgage payment. Property taxes, homeowners insurance, HOA dues where applicable, and maintenance all affect what you can comfortably afford. Check the specific property's tax situation instead of relying on a rough estimate.

Drive the routes you'll actually use. If you can, test your commute at the time you'd normally travel. Check the school run, grocery trips and other regular journeys, too. A neighborhood that looks close on a map may feel very different during rush hour.

And choose the community for your real life, not just the house. Think about work, schools if relevant, recreation, everyday conveniences and how you want your week to feel. The right fit is personal, and it deserves more thought than a pretty listing can give it.

North Texas has a lot to offer, but no two moves are exactly the same. The goal isn't to find a place with no compromises. It's to understand the compromises before you make a major decision.

When you find a home with a mortgage rate that's lower than what's currently available, don't overlook it without asking one question: Is the seller's loan assumable?

Some FHA, VA and USDA mortgages can be assumed by a qualified buyer, subject to the loan terms and the servicer's approval. That could make a property worth a closer look, but the interest rate alone doesn't tell you whether it's a good deal.

Here's the part buyers need to pay attention to: the seller's remaining mortgage balance.

If a home is selling for $400,000 but the seller still owes $280,000, you'd need to work out how to cover the $120,000 difference, plus applicable closing costs. That gap can make an otherwise attractive loan difficult to use, depending on your available funds and financing options.

So before you get excited about taking over somebody else's rate, establish three things: whether the loan can be assumed, how much is still owed, and how you'll cover the difference between the loan balance and the purchase price.

That's how you assess the opportunity, not by looking at the interest rate in isolation.

Before you sign that builder's contract, find out what happens if things don't go according to plan.

Because when you're buying a home that's still being built, you're not just choosing a house. You're agreeing to terms that will determine what happens if the construction is delayed, the price changes, or the finished home isn't what you expected.

Here are the questions I'd want answered in writing before signing:

1. What happens if the home isn't finished on time?
Ask what completion date the contract provides, whether it's an estimate or a binding deadline, and what rights you have if construction runs behind.

2. Can the final price increase?
Clarify which upgrades, lot premiums, design selections and other charges are included in the quoted price. Ask how any additional costs are approved and documented.

3. What happens to your deposit if you need to walk away?
Don't assume you'll automatically get your money back. Find out which circumstances allow you to terminate the contract, what deadlines apply, and what happens to your deposit under those terms.

4. Can you have the home independently inspected?
Ask when inspections can take place during construction and before closing. Find out how defects are documented and corrected, and don't assume a builder's own quality checks replace an independent inspection.

5. What protection do you have after closing?
Get the warranty terms in writing. Understand what's covered, for how long, what isn't covered, and how you must report a problem.

Here's what I wouldn't do: rely on a verbal promise when the written contract says something different.

Builder contracts aren't all the same, and the wording matters. Before signing, have a qualified Texas real estate attorney review the agreement if you need help understanding your rights and obligations.

That beautiful new home may be exactly what you're looking for. Just make sure you understand the agreement as carefully as you've chosen the house.

Save this before your next builder appointment.

A brand-new home doesn't mean every detail is included in the price.

That kitchen you loved in the model home? Some of those finishes and upgrades may cost extra. And the price advertised online may not include every expense you'll face before closing.

Before you commit to a new build in North Texas, here's what I'd want you to check:

1. What's actually included? Ask for the standard features list. Compare it with the model home so you know which cabinets, flooring, appliances and finishes come with the base price—and which ones cost extra.

2. Are there lot premiums or other additional charges? A particular lot, elevation or upgrade package can increase the price. Ask for an itemized estimate rather than relying on the starting price advertised online.

3. What are the builder's incentives asking you to agree to? A closing-cost credit or rate buydown can be attractive, but check the eligibility rules, preferred-lender requirements and what happens if you choose another lender. Compare the overall numbers before deciding.

4. What will the home actually cost you each month? Look beyond the mortgage payment. Check the estimated property taxes, homeowners insurance and HOA dues. If the home is in a special taxing district, ask how that affects the bill. Don't assume the current owner's or builder's estimate tells the whole story.

5. What inspections can you arrange before closing? A new home can still have defects. Ask about independent inspections at appropriate construction stages and before closing, and understand how the builder handles items that need correcting.

A new build can be a great choice. The point isn't to be suspicious of every builder; it's to understand the contract, the numbers and the home you're actually buying before you commit.

If you're considering new construction around Keller or anywhere in North Texas, save this and take these questions to your builder appointment.
