$0 DOWN TO BUILD YOUR HOME — USDA IS MAKING IT POSSIBLE The USDA One-Time Construction Loan lets qualified buyers purchase land and build with zero down payment — and parts outside Fort Worth already qualify.
💡 Kirstine's Take: Most buyers don't know this door exists. If you're open on location, this could be the most powerful and overlooked path to homeownership in 2026. Check eligibility before you count it out.

DFW AIRPORT'S $12 BILLION EXPANSION IS RESHAPING NORTH TEXAS REAL ESTATE American Airlines just announced its biggest schedule overhaul in over a decade — and a brand-new $4 billion terminal opens in 2027.
💡 Kirstine's Take: When the 3rd busiest airport in the world doubles down on your city, people follow. Jobs follow. Buyers follow. I've watched this market for 9+ years — areas near major infrastructure wins like this don't stay affordable for long.

TEXAS NOW HAS THREE STOCK EXCHANGES — HERE'S WHY FORT WORTH IS PAYING ATTENTION Nasdaq Texas launched this month as a fully operational exchange, with the closing bell ringing at The Alamo and nearly $2 trillion in market cap already calling Texas home.
💡 Kirstine's Take: More exchanges means more companies. More companies means more jobs and more relocations. That demand lands right here in the DFW housing market. Texas isn't just growing — it's leading.

COULD SENIORS 65+ PAY ZERO PROPERTY TAX IN TEXAS? A new proposal would eliminate property taxes for homeowners 65 and older who fully own their homes — and it's gaining serious attention.
💡 Kirstine's Take: For retirees in Fort Worth, property taxes are one of the biggest ongoing costs of staying in their home. If this passes, it changes where people choose to retire and how they plan for it. Worth watching closely.

FEBRUARY 2026 DFW HOME PRICES ARE IN — AND YOUR ZIP CODE TELLS A VERY DIFFERENT STORY Euless jumped 24.6%. White Settlement dropped 25.1%. This is not a one-size-fits-all market — not even close.
💡 Kirstine's Take: Where you buy or sell right now matters more than ever. The zip code changes the entire game. Reply to this email with your city and I'll tell you exactly what the data means for your move.
