2026 is shaping up to be a pivotal year for real estate. From NAR’s projected surge in home sales to stabilizing interest rates, lower gas prices, a resilient job market, and renewed consumer confidence, Sean & Blanca break down why families have a real opportunity to win—and how to prepare now.

Many homeowners and investors feel stuck—not because they’re failing, but because they haven’t mapped out their next move. More and more families are already planning to reposition for 2026 by downsizing, relocating, selling underperforming investments, or upgrading for lifestyle reasons. Repositioning is about being intentional: unlocking equity, reducing financial strain, and creating a housing strategy that supports where life is heading next—not just where it is today.

Labor Day isn’t just for backyard barbecues — in the Dallas real estate market, it’s the unofficial start of fall buying season and the moment builders quietly roll out their biggest incentives.

From $20,000 bonuses to seller-paid closing costs and low fixed-rate financing, the real deals are tucked away behind model home doors and reserved for serious buyers. This fall, we’re pulling back the curtain and showing you how to access them before they’re gone.
