On this episode of DFW Real Estate Weekly, Todd Tramonte, Courtney (“Full Price Courtney”), and Ian (“the Agitated AI”) share a rare dose of good news for homeowners, buyers, and sellers.

Mortgage rates remain steady despite the Fed lowering rates. Fall 2025 is proving to be one of the strongest and most balanced markets in decades — great for buyers, sellers, and especially those doing both. Right now is a sweet spot because there is more inventory, fair pricing, motivated buyers/sellers, and strategic negotiation opportunities (like sellers paying down buyers’ mortgage rates). Our team emphasizes tailored approaches — not one-size-fits-all — whether you’re selling, buying, or both.

We reflected on the Real Growth Summit, which combined business coaching, real estate training, and community impact — including sponsoring children worldwide and supporting small business owners. We are still flying high from this amazing event!

Sweet Firefly, a beloved Richardson ice cream shop, joined us on the show this week!. Owner Angie and team member Peyton share the shop’s origin story, its role as a neighborhood anchor, and why flavors like Sea Salt Caramel and Banana Pudding keep people coming back.

Fall is Todd’s favorite season for real estate and backyard living. It’s also the best time to plant fruit trees and set yourself up for long-term success in your yard. Whether you’re planning to buy, sell, or just enjoy your home, the current market offers unique opportunities. Pair that with local gems like Sweet Firefly, and it’s a great time to love where you live in DFW.
