Buyers Advice – Location Location Location
It’s the three words that home buyers constantly hear: “location, location, location”. That’s because location is a key reason why home buyers will purchase one dwelling over another, regardless of what the home offers. Why? Fixtures and fittings are changeable but location isn’t. Nearby amenities, particularly rapidly evolving ones, will also add to the property value. But exactly what makes a great location? One word: convenience. With busyness now the average way of life, time is more treasured than ever. So, search for a property within a 10-minute drive of a grocery store and other basic retail points such as a gas station, schools and medical facilities. Home buyers in urban areas may also be keen to live close to a larger shopping mall. Other things to consider: School proximity- Locations close to top-notch educational facilities are a driving force for home buyers, including those currently without children but planning to have them in the future. Even those planning never to have children should check this point as school proximity can add to home values.
- Whether by road or public transport, this is another major location key, especially when it comes to an easy commute to employment, schools and everyday facilities. Also check on current and upcoming transport developments in the area.
- While not as crucial, entertainment and recreational facilities should not be forgotten when it comes to ideal locations. Think public parks, walking trails, sporting facilities, pools, bars, restaurants, cafés, museums, art galleries and everything in-between. Parents will particularly prefer an easy commute to local sports fields.

Dallas Area Residential Sales Report – Town Homes Carrollton, Texas
As an experienced Realtor, I can tell you that the townhome market in Carrollton, TX during October 2025 continued to appeal strongly to buyers who want the convenience of low-maintenance living without sacrificing the feel of a residential neighborhood. Townhomes in Carrollton offer a blend of modern design, functional layouts, and community amenities that attract both first-time buyers and those looking to downsize. Buyers this fall found a market shaped by steady builder activity, thoughtful neighborhood planning, and a demand for homes that provide an easier lifestyle with quick access to major employers, shopping, parks, and entertainment. For you as a potential buyer, this means options that balance comfort, style, and value—while still giving you the sense of “home” that many seek beyond traditional condo living. The atmosphere of the market this season felt confident and balanced, making it a strong time to explore opportunities and secure a property that fits both your lifestyle and long-term goals.

Want To Know More About Denton, Texas?
Denton, Texas, established in 1857 as the seat of Denton County in north-central Texas, emerged from the Peters Colony land grant of 1841, which spurred Anglo settlement amid frontier ranching and subsistence farming on vast prairies once grazed by figures like John S. Chisum. Named for frontiersman John B. Denton, killed in a 1841 skirmish, the city grew modestly post-Civil War—readmitted to the Union in 1870 with just 361 residents—before rail connections in 1881 doubled its population to over 2,500 by 1890, fostering trade and agriculture. By the early 20th century, educational institutions defined its identity: the University of North Texas (1890), Texas Woman’s University (1901), and North Central Texas College (1924), transforming Denton into a vibrant college town 35 miles northwest of Dallas-Fort Worth, with over 50,000 students enriching its cultural scene through music festivals, the annual North Texas State Fair and Rodeo since 1928, and the longest-running documentary film festival in Texas. Today, as of October 2025, Denton’s population exceeds 150,000, bolstered by suburban expansion in the DFW metroplex; its economy thrives on education, manufacturing (home to Peterbilt Motors and Jostens), and emerging tech, including a new 200,000-square-foot STULZ Air Technology plant opening late this year to add 200 jobs. The revitalized downtown square, anchored by the historic 1896 courthouse-museum, blends preserved Victorian architecture with eclectic shops, restaurants, and events like the Holiday Lighting Festival, while regional coordination via the North Central Texas Council of Governments addresses growth challenges; politically, the once solidly Republican city has trended more competitive with demographic diversification.

Dallas Area Residential Sales Report – Denton, Texas
The single-family housing market in Denton, TX, as we navigate September 2025, is in a fascinating period of adjustment, moving from what was once an aggressively competitive environment to a much more measured and balanced one. This shift is a direct result of several economic factors working in concert.
For potential homeowners, the key takeaway is the increase in available inventory. This means the field of choice is significantly wider, reducing the urgency that fueled rapid, all-cash offers in the past. Concurrently, the time homes are spending on the market has notably extended. This longer sales cycle benefits buyers by allowing them the necessary time for thorough due diligence, inspections, and thoughtful financial planning, rather than making pressurized decisions.
Furthermore, price adjustments are becoming a common feature of the market. While home values have shown some year-over-year softening, this stabilization is a healthy market correction that makes homeownership more accessible. The negotiation playing field has leveled, meaning buyers are gaining leverage and sellers are demonstrating greater willingness to work on price and offer concessions to finalize a sale.
The positive news for sellers is that Denton continues to be a highly desirable location, evidenced by a noticeable increase in the overall number of closed sales compared to last year. Even with market adjustments, this sustained transaction volume highlights strong, underlying demand. Sellers who partner with an informed agent and price their homes strategically are successfully attracting buyers and achieving their desired outcome. This is a robust market that is simply returning to a more sustainable, rational pace.

It sounds different in here.
A recent conversation I had with an acquaintance.
What they said: "I moved away in my twenties but I'm back now that I'm retired."
What I heard: "I came back here to die once my life got less interesting."
That can't be what she said, was it?

Got to Eureka this AM and learned it has more galleries & co-ops than expected. Like, an absurd amount for its size! VERY robust arts community here.
Made it to a farmers market, Explored some of Old Town, got great food, & then drove around the area. Intrigued thus far! More exploring tomorrow!
Didn’t get any good pics of our explorations today in Eureka itself—there’s plenty of that online already. But I will say it’s small-town(ish) vibe is endearing, and the two folks we asked about the community say that folks who “buy into” the community have a tendency to be deeply committed to it. I think that’s very evident by the activism, initiatives, and small businesses here… So that’s a plus!
