As a lifelong Texas Longhorns fan, it’s hard not to feel the sting of disappointment after yesterday's loss at the Cotton Bowl.

These shifts reflect a broader market recalibration following the unprecedented highs of 2021 and 2022.Despite the challenging landscape, there are reasons for optimism. In November, I listed a Canyon Creek home that was competitively priced and thoughtfully prepared for the market. The timing aligned with post-election activity, sparking renewed buyer interest. Following active open houses and steady showings, the home received an offer after just 21 days on the market and became the first sale to close in 2025 in Canyon Creek!
