    It may never be more important than right now to support your local community, which is why Trinity Falls is launching Project Community, an initiative where they will donate $250 to one of four local nonprofits for each new home sold in the North Dallas neighborhood from February 1-June 30.

    Six builders offer new homes in this 2,000-acre master-planned community that's located near McKinney, with prices from the mid-$200,000s to the $700,000s.

    You can choose from Chesmar Homes, Coventry Homes, Del Webb (for buyers age 55 and up), Drees Custom Homes, Highland Homes, and Perry Homes. Trinity Falls will be home to approximately 5,000 families when complete.

    Residents are able to get their fill of fresh air at numerous onsite parks and playgrounds, including Old Joe Dog Park, and can easily walk or bike to B.B. Owen Park, offering 350 acres of wooded terrain, lakes for catch-and-release fishing, authentic nature trails, disc golf, and more.

    When you purchase your new home, you'll get the chance to designate which nonprofit receives the donation: The Boys & Girls Club of Collin County, Children’s Health Medical Center Foundation, Operation Kindness, or The Samaritan Inn.

    The Boys & Girls Clubs of Collin County offers programs and services to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens. The organization's clubs serve youth in Frisco, Plano, McKinney, Princeton, and outlying areas.

    Children's Health is the only nonprofit health system for kids in North Texas that provides top-ranked care for more than 300,000 patients each year, discovers cures for pediatric diseases, and works to build a healthier community for families.

    Operation Kindness is the leading no-kill animal shelter in North Texas, providing assistance to animals in need and distributing more than 110,000 pounds of pet food to families in 2020, an organization record.

    The Samaritan Inn is a comprehensive homeless program that helps willing people gain dignity and independence. Services include counseling, case management, career development skills, and financial literacy classes. Most nights, about 160 people sleep at the inn, a third of which are children.

    After experiencing a 41 percent increase in new-home sales in 2020, Trinity Falls is now ranked among the nation's 50 top-selling master-planned communities.

    Explore the website or talk with a builder sales representative to see why so many people are making the move to Trinity Falls. Purchase soon, and you'll be doing something nice not just for yourself but also for those in need.

    REAL ESTATE NEWS

    Dallas ranks No. 9 among U.S. cities for canceled home sales in 2025

    Homebuyers across the United States are ghosting sellers at record rates, and Dallas has some of the worst offenders. Real estate marketplace Redfin tracked which metros saw the most buyers getting cold feet before closing real estate deals: Dallas came in at No. 9.

    Redfin says 17.7 percent of Dallas home purchases were called off in September 2025, an increase from 16.4 percent in September 2024.

    Fort Worth was even worse, landing at No. 4. In September, 18.7 percent of Fort Worth home purchases were called off, up from from 16.6 percent the previous year.

    By comparison, San Antonio ranked No. 2 overall, with the highest pull-out rate in Texas, at 19 percent.

    Tampa, Florida, topped the list with a cancellation rate of 20.1 percent. The national average is 15 percent.

    Redfin says Goldilocks thinking is largely to blame for the rise in buyers "ghosting" sellers. A lack of compromise on concessions and repairs is driving the trend, with buyers refusing to accept imperfect homes.

    Meanwhile, sellers want to avoid losing money on the deal. This is especially true of homeowners who bought during the COVID-19 boom, who are holding their asking price firm to avoid taking a loss. With plenty of homes on the market in "Sun Belt" cities — in some place, more than twice as many sellers than buyers — buyers are weighing all options.

    “I’m seeing a lot of buyer’s remorse,” explained Redfin agent Jo Chavez, in a release. “Buyers make an offer, then they start worrying they could have found a better deal or a better home because there are more home sellers than buyers in the market. Some other buyers are backing out because they’re concerned about job security.”

    The top 10 markets with the most sideways deals include:

    • No. 1 — Tampa, Florida
    • No. 2 – San Antonio, Texas
    • No. 3 — Atlanta, Georgia
    • No. 4 — Orlando, Florida
    • No. 5 — Fort Worth, Texas
    • No. 6 — Riverside, California
    • No. 7 — Fort Lauderdale, Florida
    • No. 8 —Jacksonville, Florida
    • No. 9 — Dallas, Texas
    • No. 10 — Las Vegas, Nevada
