More homes are coming to market and more buyers are out looking — new listings, showings, and open houses (up 4.9%) are all ahead of a year ago. At the same time, fewer homes are reaching contract and closing, which means buyers have more choices and a little more room to take their time. If you’re thinking of selling, thoughtful pricing and presentation matter; if you’re buying, it’s a good moment to explore your options.

D.R. Horton’s Houston division also runs profession-based programs through 12/31/2026 for eligible buyers: Main Street Stars (firefighters, law enforcement, military, and educators), plus separate offers for airline-industry and oil/gas/industrial/transportation employees.
Program incentives can’t be applied to reduce the base price and are confirmed at contract. Reach out and we’ll pull the latest terms for you.
