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.

Dear Dez Bryant, do you need a REALTOR®?
Football season is on the horizon, can’t you just hear the Monday night football theme song? The Dallas Cowboys training camp started this past weekend with all eyes on rookie Dez Bryant. The first round pick signed a five-year deal worth $11.8 million dollars last week. He hasn’t even played a single down and is already expected to be the starting wide receiver and play maker.

A New Bear In Town...
I started work here at Rogers Healy and Associates this past Monday. It was a very exciting and nervous week for me all at the same time. Everyone at the office has been extremely nice and made me feel comfortable like I have been here for a long time.

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. She just came out with a song called, The House That Built Me. When I was listening to the words of the song it made me think back to when I was a little girl growing up in my parents house. I can remember waking up to the aroma of coffee and pancakes rising up stairs to my bedroom. The Christmas I got my very own P.J. Sparkles doll!!

Now I know it's not real estate but if your into sweeping the ladies off their feet with your gentleman like charm, listening to Frank Sinatra and sipping on old fashions you might want to check this out. There is a place just right in Uptown off Mckinney called Sfuzzi. Like many, I don't know how to pronounce it, but it looks like they have something pretty cool going on.
