2026 Starts Here: Real Talk on the DFW Real Estate Market
Happy New Year! I hope 2026 is already meeting you with fresh energy, clearer goals, and a little more peace than the year before.
To kick things off, I’m sharing the latest episode of The INSIDERS on Real Estate & Marketing—and it’s an important one if you’re in (or anywhere near) the DFW real estate world.
In this episode, I sit down with Marc Miller, President of Secured Title of Texas, for a smart, straightforward wrap of 2025 and a grounded look ahead at 2026—including what’s shifting in the market, what’s creating momentum, and what real estate pros should be paying closer attention to right now.
Here are a few highlights we cover:
-
Why commercial + investor activity helped stabilize business even as residential stayed volatile
-
What Marc is seeing with build-to-rent and cash buyers
-
Why Secured Title expanded into Flower Mound (and what that market signals)
-
The biggest rising risk in transactions: mortgage + wiring fraud—and what to look for in your title partner
-
Marc’s outlook for rates, affordability, and buyer confidence in 2026
If you’re a Realtor, lender, builder, investor, or just someone who wants to understand what’s next in Real Estate—this is worth your time.
