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.

Dallas home sales are UP!!!

Dallas home sales are off to a great start this quarter! Pre-owned home sales were up 16% in the first three months this year, from the same period in 2011. The price surge was even higher in March with median home prices up 11% from 2011 and the good news is “March is the first real month of the selling season”, says economist Dr. James Gaines.

A little A-list real estate!

Who wants to read about interest rates, current market trends, and foreclosure stats when you can read about A-list celebrities divorcing after a short stint at marriage and their "love nests" hitting the market? While celebrities are adding to our ever growing divorce rate in the US, they sure do help the real estate market.

Buying your home in 2012

If your new year's resolution is to buy your first home in 2012 or buy a second home/investment property,  now is the time to do it! Interest rates are lower than they've ever been, with a 20 year fixed loan coming in right around 3.875% and a 30 year fixed around 4%. There are also great loan products for first time homebuyers along with government loan programs that are sure to help those that have been their making their payments on their current loan but owe more than the property is worth.

It's Time To Buy!

Everyone's heard news about how apparently bad the current real estate market is. U.S. house prices have plunged since 2006 and homeownership rates are falling fast, however, it isn't all bad news. Two key measures now suggest that it's one of the best times to buy - either to live in long term or as an income investment. "First the nation's ratio of house prices to yearly rents is nearly restored to its prebubble average.

Buying is Now Cheaper Than Renting!!!

I have only been working at Rogers Healy and Associates for a couple of weeks now, but after last week's finance class and this week's CNNMoney article, I have learned it is certainly a buyers market right now! With home prices taking such a beating with the recent market and the demand for rentals increasing, it has now become cheaper to buy than to rent. In addition, interest rates are at an all time low so it is also a great time to re-finance your home!
