“9 Families in 90 Days” Edition

Welcome to Adult Summer Camp…
Greg Douglas Style!

August is here, and I’ve got a new mission that I’m pretty excited about:

Helping 9 Families in the Next 90 Days! 🏡🍬

That’s right—over the next three months, Real Estate Candy is putting the spotlight on helping nine families make their next real estate move. And because every good adventure needs a starting point, August is all about BUYING!

Thinking about buying a home? Wondering whether you’re ready? Not sure what the mortgage process looks like these days? I’ve got you covered. My mortgage expert, Greg Flynn, is joining us with some helpful advice for getting financially prepared, plus I’ve packed this issue with resources you can download and use to start getting purchase-ready.

But come on…you know I can’t make an entire newsletter about grown-up stuff. 😎

Summer isn’t over yet, so Dream Big, Live Bigger is going out with some fun. Your August field trip comes with 50 FREE things to do around Dallas-Fort Worth, and Adult Summer Camp is still in session—which means there are badges left to earn! 🏕️🏅

We’ll also head to Chart Masters for a look at what the real estate market is actually doing for buyers and sellers, then hit rewind with a remix of A Tale of Two Homes so you can see what that Real Estate Candy field trip was all about.

9 families. 90 days. That’s the mission.

Maybe you’re one of the nine. Maybe you know someone who is. Either way, stick around—because for the next three months, we’re going to make getting ready for your next move a whole lot sweeter.

Dream Big. Live Bigger. And go get your blessing! 🍭🏡

Blessings,

Greg

A Tale of Two Homes: The Remix

Is the Market Heating Up or Cooling Down?

If you’ve been wondering whether the Dallas-Fort Worth housing market is still moving at full speed, here’s the simple answer:

It’s still a seller’s market—but things are becoming a little more balanced.

Across the DFW Metroplex, the number of homes for sale increased nearly 5% from April, giving buyers more options than they’ve had in recent months. At the same time, the number of homes going under contract dipped slightly month over month, meaning buyers are taking a little more time before making offers.

Even with that slowdown, the Pending Ratio—a key indicator of market strength—remains at 28.4%, comfortably above the 25% threshold that typically signals a seller’s market. In other words, well-priced homes are still attracting buyers, but the frenzied pace we’ve seen over the past few years is beginning to settle into a healthier rhythm.

What does this mean for you?

• Sellers: Buyers are still out there, but pricing your home correctly and making a great first impression are more important than ever.
• Buyers: You may have a little more breathing room, a few more homes to choose from, and less pressure to make split-second decisions.

Whether you’re thinking about buying, selling, or simply watching the market, today’s conditions are creating opportunities for those who have the right strategy.



Sweet Tip from Greg: A balanced market doesn’t mean slowing down—it means making smarter moves. The best opportunities often come when the market begins to normalize. 🍬🏡
