Fort Worth, TX

[Shawn Dandridge]

I just returned from Fort Worth yesterday and I have to say I'm very impressed with the area. I went all over town and visited several neighborhoods. My wife and I decided to buy in the Keller area. One thing I can say is that the Fort Worth market is ON FIRE! New builders went up on prices while we were in town by 2k and were planning another 2k increase this week. One thing I did not know that I found out was that many builders separate mineral rights from the land AND then make you pay for the lot. Upon doing some research, I found this a very common practice. I don't agree with it however. I also like the fact that you can virtually get anywhere in Fort Worth in 25 minutes or less, much better timing than DC traffic. I signed a contract with History Maker homes but we are still negotiating options/closing costs subsidies. I am interested to see if anyone has an experience with them and what concessions are typical for the market.
