Keller Williams Realtor Newman Dalton speaks on DFW housing market Throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area, changes in the housing market have contrib- uted to trends that may favor buyers, industry professionals say. In an interview with Community Impact , Realtor Newman Dalton of Keller Williams Realty in South- lake discussed some of the changes the market is seeing this summer for both buyers and sellers. Dalton posts content on his YouTube page, The Roof List, looking at the DFW housing market. What have you seen so far in the past ve to six months in the dierence in the housing market? We’re not necessarily going through a recovery in terms of ... going to go back to where things were in 2020, 2021, 2022; I think we’re actually going through more of a correction. It doesn’t look as

If you look at the last 40 years, ... between 1981 and 1983, mortgage rates got up to 18% and that was one anomaly on one end.

$20,000 worth of structural repairs, but then there was a ... vent in the ceiling that was missing, so it’s a hole in the ceiling. While the seller had spent all that time and money correcting their foundation and other things, all the person in the home could see was that missing air vent.
