Buyers Advice – Location Location Location

• 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.

First Time Home Buyers Advice!

As A First Time Home Buyer:

Did You Know you Can Get a FHA Loan For As Little As 3.5% Down?

An FHA loan’s minimum down payment is 3.5% for borrowers with a credit score of 580 or higher. However, if your credit score is between 500 and 579, the minimum required down payment is 10%. The down payment is the upfront portion of the home’s price that you pay to the seller, and for FHA loans, this money can come from your own funds, gift funds, or down payment assistance programs. 

FHA loan limits are set annually by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and vary by county based on local median home prices. Both Dallas County and Collin County fall within the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA), a high-cost area, so they share the same FHA loan limits for 2025. These limits apply to the maximum loan amount for properties with 1–4 units.

| County | 1-Unit | 2-Unit | 3-Unit | 4-Unit |
|—————–|——–|——–|——–|——–|
| **Dallas County** | $563,500 | $721,800 | $873,050 | $1,085,400 |
| **Collin County** | $563,500 | $721,800 | $873,050 | $1,085,400 |

These figures represent the maximum FHA-insured loan amounts. Actual borrowing power depends on factors like your credit score, down payment, and debt-to-income ratio. For official verification or to search other counties, use HUD’s FHA Mortgage Limits tool.

Mia almost overpaid for a pretty house.
It looked perfect… but the price wasn’t.
We drew a line in the sand and walked when the seller wouldn’t budge.
A month later?
Better house. Better suburb. Smarter buy.
