BOLD 100 Challenge

PLEASE HELP!
I’ve been challenged to have 100 conversations TODAY about real estate.

A “conversation” is a two-way communication about residential real estate.

It’s best if YOU text, email or private message me via social media. Then, I only need to respond to fulfill the “conversation.” Otherwise, I’ll reach out to y’all and hope you answer an easy question to fulfill the conversation challenge.

The conversation can be simple or complex. I’m also a Productivity Coach; the conversation can also be about a career in real estate or moving to our amazing brokerage (you or anyone you know). A simple conversation would be, “Do you know a great roofer?” I can help with a short list of roofers I trust.

People have job location and family changes every day. A perfect conversation would be: “I (or someone you know) plans a living situation change in the next six months and needs to move. Please contact: NAME at PHONE, EMAIL.” Then, I’ll help!

Thanks for your help!

Testimonial – Little Elm

Thank you to my amazing investor clients for your supportive testimonial! The first step is always the most difficult. I look forward to watching your family create generational wealth. Thank you again for your trust and cooperation throughout the process.

“I couldn't be happier with Mark, helping our family with our first rental home. As a first timer we had a lot of questions. Mark navigated the entire experience with professionalism, his quick responses to our messages and calls and willingness to listen even how trivial question that would be, helped us making informed decisions. We felt having respectful collaboration every step of the way. We would highly recommend Mark for anyone looking for buying selling or renting out property in this area.”

Local Market Housing Statistics - September 2025

Total Active listings have decreased in all reporting cities and counties except Anna. Closed sales decreased in all reported cities except Allen and Denton, while Van Alstyne is unchanged. Aubrey increased its Median Percentage of Original Price, while all other reporting locations are down. Houses with competitive listing prices move quickly, while overpriced houses get limited or no traffic.

Only Anna remains in a Buyers’ Market with more than six months of housing inventory. Aubrey has the highest year-over-year (YOY) inventory increase at 91.4%. Van Alstyne has the lowest at -30.0%. All three reported counties have about 5 months of inventory. Almost all reported areas have less inventory than last month. Anna is static.

McKinney has the most Active homes at 1,415, while Van Alstyne has the fewest at 184. Prosper has the top Median List and Sold prices, plus the highest Median Price Per Square Foot (PSF) at $240 PSF, which is down from last month. Anna has the most affordable Median PSF listings in the reported area at $173 PSF.

Dallas County has the lowest median price PSF this month at $198, while Collin dropped to $203 and Denton County increased slightly to $205. Dallas County has the most Active properties at 8,351. All three counties had a median closed percentage of the original listed price around 95% of list price. Bargains are available for savvy Buyers.

Denton got the highest median percentage of the original price at 96.6%, while Celina was at 91.8%. Plano has the lowest reported median days on market at 29 days, while Celina is at 57 days. The Fed is expected to lower rates slightly later this month. This would be the first change since it cut 25 basis points (0.25%) on 18 December 2024.
