Homebuilder Confidence Rises to Five-Year High
Confidence among U.S. homebuilders climbed in August to the highest level in more than five years, affirming the improvement in residential construction. The National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo builder confidence index rose to 37, higher than projected and the best showing since February 2007, according to figures from the Washington-based group released today.
With low mortgage rates and cheaper homes, optimism about housing demand continues to rise.

Bullet train between Dallas and Houston
Bullet trains are a form of transportation many Texans thought they'd never see unless they were on vacation in Asia or Europe. But rail advocates say a proposal to build a high-speed line connecting Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston may happen a lot sooner than expected, possibly 2020.
A group led by Central Japan Railway Co. that includes notable Texans such as former Harris County Judge Robert Eckels is seeking roughly $10 billion in private investment.

Home Prices Rise in Half of U.S.
Prices for single-family homes climbed in half of U.S. cities in the first quarter as real estate markets stabilized.
The median sales price increased from a year ago in 74 of 146 metropolitan areas measured, the National Association of Realtors said in a report today. In the fourth quarter, only 29 areas had gains.
There are broad shortages of homes in much of the country. This is good news for sellers who wish to list now, or for those waiting for prices to improve.
If you're thinking about listing your home, now is a great time!

Don't expect homes to get much cheaper
Buying a home may never get any cheaper than now. Several housing experts are predicting that this year will be the last chance for bargain hunters to cash in on the best deals of the weak housing market.
Homes have never been more affordable with prices down 34% nationally since 2006 and mortgage rates at historic lows, but it won't stay this way for much longer.

Numbers point to a solid winter rebound in the housing market
Government figures for the previous two months were revised and the numbers are much higher than previously figured. This points to a solid winter rebound in the housing market.
Helped by low prices, record low mortgage rates and an increase in hiring that has lowered the unemployment rate, the battered housing market has been showing signs of recovery so far this year.
It is now cheaper to buy a home than rent in much of the country.
If you are in the market to buy, rent or sell, contact Rogers Healy.

Number of houses for sale at a 10-year low in North Texas
The overall number of pre-owned houses for sale in North Texas is a the lowest level in more than a decade. Inventory is way down and even homes that have been on the market for over 200 days are getting more showings. For this reason there are fewer bargain buys on the market. Many neighborhoods have less than a four-month supply of single-family homes listed for sale with agents. Nationally, the supply is 6.1 months. Even in the Park Cities, where high prices usually mean longer sales times, there's only about a five-month supply of houses for sale.

Check your Credit Report and File Your Taxes
Two major items that can hold up purchasing a new home, are your credit report and whether or not you have filed your taxes.

You really shouldn't have to work every day...
When I started Rogers Healy and Associates a few years ago, I wanted to create something that had never been done before. I wanted to create a real estate office environment...that realtors actually wanted to show up to. I truly believe that if you find a job you love, and you're surrounded by people you love, you never really work.
