The Listing That Sits: Use AI and MLS Data Before You Cut the Price
A stale listing strategy works best when it starts at the listing appointment. In this Market Update, Mike Mills shows Texas Realtors how to give AI the MLS solds, showing feedback and price history to find why a listing sits. Then he fixes it with seller concessions before a price cut and marketing aimed at the buyer who wants that house. Plus mortgage rates as of October 20, September DFW housing data (93.9% of original list, 62 days on market), and the $69-a-month question that protects a list price.

AI Property Tax Protest: How Texans Can Fight the Appraisal District
AI property tax protest tools are changing how Texas homeowners fight the appraisal district. Michael Reeves, founder and CEO of The Andy App in McKinney, shows how the app runs comps, uses photos of a home’s real condition, and files the protest from your phone. We cover why you have to protest every year, missed homestead and over-65 exemptions and the refunds behind them, arguing hardship, and how counties now use AI too. For Realtors and lenders, it’s a simple way to help clients keep their payment where they expected it after closing.
