    Dallas Builders Club Ep 19 - Construction Costs Are SKYROCKETING! What You Need to Know
    Oct 22 2026

    🚨 **Construction costs are rising, luxury home markets are shifting, and some Dallas-Fort Worth homes are selling in DAYS while others sit for MONTHS. What's really happening in the DFW housing market?**

    Welcome back to **Episode 19 of the Dallas Builders Club Podcast**, where Carl Dean and Matt Smith break down the realities of luxury custom home building, spec home investing, construction costs, and real estate development in North Texas.

    In this episode, we're talking about the year-over-year construction material price increases that are putting pressure on builders and homeowners, including plywood costs, transportation expenses, and the ripple effects of rising fuel prices.

    But construction costs are only part of the story.

    **Why are luxury homes in Highland Park selling so much faster than properties in nearby Preston Hollow?** And what does that mean for investors looking to build $2 million+ spec homes in Southlake, Westlake, Argyle, Flower Mound, and the surrounding DFW market?

    We also share firsthand experience from our own luxury residential developments, including how the first home in one of our Trophy Club projects sold for $1.8 million while a smaller home later sold for $2.1 million.

  • Dallas Builders Club Ep. 17 The Hidden Costs of Buying Land | How to Spot a Bad Lot Before You Build

    Dallas Builders Club Ep. 17 The Hidden Costs of Buying Land | How to Spot a Bad Lot Before You Build
    Sep 30 2026

    After wholesaling hundreds of properties ourselves, we explain why there's absolutely money to be made in wholesaling—but also why hiding important information from buyers can destroy your reputation.

    We break down a recent Southlake deal that looked like an absolute home run: half an acre in a great location for around $700,000. After spending time discussing the opportunity with investors, we discovered one major detail the wholesaler hadn't disclosed: **the property had a tenant locked into another 12-month lease.**

    The deal immediately changed.

    In this episode, we cover:

    • How to evaluate a lot before buying it
    • Why cheap land isn't always a good deal
    • Hidden site-work and development costs
    • Civil engineering and grading issues
    • Zoning and minimum lot-size requirements
    • How builders underwrite spec-home opportunities
    • What makes an expensive lot worth the money
    • Real estate wholesaling and assignment deals
    • Red flags when dealing with wholesalers
    • Why transparency matters when raising capital
    • How to present deals to real estate investors
    • Why successful salespeople get straight to the point
    • Construction coaching and learning to analyze deals
    • Preparing construction projects for major storms
    • Why heavy rain can actually help identify problems during construction

    Whether you're a **custom home builder, real estate developer, investor, wholesaler or someone trying to get into residential construction**, this episode gives you a real-world look at how we evaluate deals before putting money at risk.

    **Dallas Builders Club** is about real builders, real projects, real numbers and the lessons you usually only learn by actually doing the work.
