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.

Cotton Bowl gets $25 million for makeover
The Cotton Bowl recently received $25 million of capital earmarked for improvements that include new seating and renovations of public spaces that will reignite the 80-year-old stadium's prestige among Dallas-Fort Worth fans.
The last time the Cotton Bowl received significant funding from the city was in 2006. At that time, the stadium upgraded its infields and scoreboards, which were completed two years later.

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.

Best year for local housing market since before recession
This year is turning out to be the best for the local housing market since before the recession. Home sales are up all over Dallas and home purchases are up more than 25% higher than last year.
A pickup in job growth, low interest rates and relatively affordable home prices have buyers becoming more confident about the economic environment.
Even though there is a widespread gain in the number of home sales, prices are rebounding much more slowly. The sellers are finally taking low prices for their property after sitting for two years.
