Dallas Market Update

I was so glad to finally hear positive news not only on the national real estate market, but our local market in Dallas. In December 2008, preowned home sales were up 8% nationally and double that in the Metroplex. We have seen a significant increase in showings on our listings and inquiries from our marketing since the beginning of the year.

Dave Ramsey was featured on Fox 4 this morning predicting that it would only get better, and he expected a full turn around in the market as early as fall 2009 for the Dallas area.

I have been asked by several people to post my feature on ABC Nightline on my blog. Click here to view the clip.

As always, call or visit us on our website for all your real estate needs.

As we start 2009 . . .

Interest rates are lower than they have been in over 30 years, crime in DFW is the lowest since 1967, the $7500 tax credit is still available and there are many areas accepting USDA zero down loans. This is all great news as we sit in the greatest housing market in the U.S., Dallas, Texas.

During the next few months, many people will be relocating to the Dallas area to take advantage of all of these options. With that in mind, it is a great time to sell your current home and move up.

If we can stop the negative media in 2009 and move forward as if this will be the best year ever in all aspects, we, as the people, can change the economy in the U.S.

With that in mind, Happy New Year!!
