Into the Weekend - October 20th, 2023

Into the Weekend we go! I hope that this finds you wrapping up a fantastic week. I've truly been enjoying this Fall weather, which means lots of extra time outside for my Golden Retriever, Corky. This time of year always seems so busy, too. In this week's note I've included some cool local happenings, my latest video (which you do not want to miss!) and also my usual market minute and lifestyle tips. Whatever you're up to this weekend, I hope it's a great one! -Matt P.S. In case you missed our Sellers Seminar last Saturday, we will be hosting another one on November 11th so mark your calendar!

Our Latest Video Did Texas just kill Airbnb? In my latest video, I dig into the recent Airbnb and short-term rental bans in Dallas, Plano, and the greater North Texas area. It's an interesting conundrum for cities balancing the concerns of homeowners, investors, and all the various stakeholders. I talk about how these bans are likely to affect everyone. Another great watch on our YouTube channel.

A lot of people are choosing to rent while they wait for something to change in the housing market. But rents are rising each year and they're missing out on rising home equity that boosts their wealth.
