dallas: dAustin TX Foreclosure Market Keeps Real Estate Affordable - 06/11/08 08:51 AM
Austin Habitat for Humanity needs more land to build affordable homes. Austin struggles with affordability, so charities like Habitat are needed to create more home owners. Habitat for Humanity offers affordable housing to low income families. The charity uses volunteers to rehab these newly acquired foreclosed properties or in extreme cases, tears them down and rebuilds.
While many struggle to keep their homes and avoid foreclosure, rising national foreclosures have created a window of opportunity for charities like Habitat, who strive to keep home ownership costs low. This controversial topic has even reached Congress (read later).

I was in a Leadership Austin class on all day Wednesday.

dallas: Dallas Commercial Real Estate Continues Growth - 10/08/07 11:24 AM
Dallas, Texas is a pretty attractive real estate market. Like Austin and Houston, it has steady job and population growth although residential home prices have decreased about 1.4% since last year.
When I was on Austin Business District's radio hour, I noted that residential investors, home buyers and real estate agents should pay close attention to the commercial real estate markets. Commercial firms have the financial resources to know where to expand.
