Slowly but surely, Dallas home prices are on the rise...

I found some good news about the local housing market and I thought I would share it. According to the latest Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller Home Price Index report, Dallas home prices are continuing to increase. This study shows specifically a 2.9 percent increase in home prices in May from a year ago. This is less of an increase than the national average of 4.6 percent, but that is a bit misleading because some areas had much more dramatic drops in years past, and had more to make up for.

Payback is a ..... 3 to 5 year time frame on remodels.

The final piece of advice from Money’s article on getting a great return on home improvements deals with the time it takes to recoup the value of your investment.  Only a few years ago the payback on a home improvement project was virtually instantaneous, however homeowners are now looking at 3 to 5 years as the new payback time (some people might argue longer considering we are still in a down market).  Or maybe 3 to 5 years after the market picks back up...

The House That Built Me

So I was out showing homes the other day with a client of mine when this song comes on the radio. I'm not sure if you are a country music fan like myself, but the song was by Miranda Lambert.
