Stupid Things Buyers Do (That Cost Them in DFW New Construction)

Thinking about buying a new construction home in DFW? Before you fall in love with a model home or chase the perfect deal, there are some critical mistakes you need to stop making. In this video, I break down the most common things buyers do that cost them money, leverage, or the home they actually want in the Dallas Fort Worth market. These are not rookie errors. They are habits that trip up smart buyers.

We cover why model homes create unrealistic expectations, why timing the market often backfires, and how overthinking incentives can lead to missed opportunities. I also explain why not all builders operate the same and how misunderstanding builder urgency can hurt your negotiations. If you are relocating to DFW or planning to buy a new construction home soon, this video will help you make clearer and more confident decisions.
