Spring Fever in DFW: Fresh Listings, Top Events + My April Insights! 🌸

​

Hi there!

April always feels like a turning point—spring is settling in, everything is starting to bloom, and there’s a sense of new momentum. Maybe it’s the longer days or the fresh start energy, but this time of year always makes me want to shake things up in the best way. Before we dive into this month’s roundup, sharing a quick snapshot of life lately:

Personally, we went to St. Augustine to visit my in-laws for spring break. I met my new baby niece for the first time. The weather wasn’t the greatest but we did get one day in at the beach. Once we were back in town, I took the boys to Legoland. They loved it! Both boys got started with their sports: Cole is playing baseball and Cade is playing soccer. I am really enjoying this sports mom era! We also celebrated Cole turning SIX! He had his birthday at Urban Air and had a blast. Lastly, we closed out the month at a wedding in Austin for my cousin. It was nice to spend a little time away and get dressed up.

Professionally, wow, was March busy busy! I had five closings. One seller, who sold and moved to their dream land in East Texas and five buyers. These buyers bought homes ranging from Lavon, to Dallas, to Waxahachie, and even McKinney. I also had a new listing hit the market in Forney. I’ve had many strategy calls with people who are ready to buy a home. Some people decide to wait, and some are ready to hit the ground running. Whichever camp you are in, it is never too early to have a conversation so that you have all of the information to move forward in whatever way is best for YOU!

Now, I want to hear from you! What’s something bringing you joy this month? Reach out and let me know—I love hearing your updates.

What This Means for Buyers and Sellers

• For Buyers: Spring is bringing more options, with new listings up significantly. The faster pace (37 days on market vs 50 days in February) means you’ll need to act decisively on properties you love, but the increased inventory and slower YOY pace give you more room to negotiate. With the median price per square foot down slightly YOY, you might find better value in larger homes or properties in up-and-coming areas like Midway Hollow, where new dining spots like Claremont add to the neighborhood’s appeal.
• For Sellers: The spring surge in listings is a double-edged sword—more competition means your home needs to stand out, but the faster sales pace (down to 37 days from 50 in February) is a good sign. Pricing competitively and highlighting your home’s unique features will be key, especially in a market where buyers have more choices. Off-market listing opportunities, like our Private Collection, could still be a strategic way to test the waters without accumulating days on market.

Curious about your home’s value in this evolving market? Whether you’re considering selling soon or want to know your home’s current worth, I’m offering a free, no-strings-attached home value estimate.

Tandy Hills Natural Area

Tandy Hills Natural Area (3400 View St, Fort Worth) is a 160-acre slice of Fort Worth Prairie, just 5 miles from downtown. Dedicated in 1960, this rare limestone prairie—part of a vanishing ecosystem from the Brazos to Red River—hosts nearly 1,500 species, including wildflowers unique to this region. Enjoy rugged trails (like the 1.7-mile Hawk Trail to Cottontail Bend Loop), picnic tables near the entrance, and a small playground at Stratford Park, all framed by rolling hills and spring blooms.

*Fun Fact: In 2020, the city added 50+ acres with Broadcast Hill, once Texas’ first TV station site, now a hiker’s haven.
