dallas real estate: Dallas Real Estate: The Turtle Creek Market Report - July 2010 - 08/22/10 10:05 PM

Long considered a Premier Address in Dallas Real Estate, Turtle Creek Boulevard is home to some of Dallas Real Estate's most noteworthy highrise condominiums.  With prices ranging from the $100,000's to the multi millions, Turtle Creek appeals to a broad spectrum of homeowners at many price points. 

What is the appeal of Turtle Creek?  There are so many factors... there is the location for starters.  Convenient to Downtown Dallas and Victory Park.  Waliking distance to The McKinney Avenue and Oak Lawn entertainment and dining venues, and offering quick access to Central Expressway, Stemmons Freeway and the Dallas Tollway, Turtle Creek is close to everything or a … (0 comments)

dallas real estate: Not so SPEECHLESS SUNDAY: When the Days Grow Shorter - 10/25/09 02:15 PM
We are once again approaching the time of year when the days are growing shorter and daylight savings time will soon be ending.  I have a couple of lights in my home which run on timers and I can always tell the change of seasons by when I need to adjust them to the new time of the sunset.
Last week, as I sat in my office around 7:00 P.M., a time that just a month ago would have still been light outside, I looked up and realized that I may not be the only person who needs to adjust the … (5 comments)

dallas real estate: Dallas Real Estate is HOT again: A Drive-By Showing Story - 06/21/09 11:42 PM
I've been saying the Real Estate market is HOT here in Dallas for weeks now... and I am not talking about the temperature in the high 90's here today!  Indications like the return of multiple offers and decreasing property inventories have led me to make such a bold statement with very little hesitation.  In fact, my only hesitation would be fear of jinxing it by mentioning the noticeable improvement. 
Well today I got another sign of just how nicely things are improving.  I took a new listing this weekend (Immaculate Highland Park West Townhouse: 3809 S. Versailles, Dallas 75209 ) and … (7 comments)

dallas real estate: Does It Have To Be a Slow Market? - 05/23/09 08:50 PM
 

People become so accustomed to hearing the doom and gloom of the media.  Houses aren’t selling as quickly as they were… things have slowed down.
I’m not saying that this isn’t true to an extent… but does it have to be?
Buyers look for signs of weakness and desperation in the marketplace.  How so?
Buyers see houses that are initially priced too high eventually become stale.  This typically will result in several reductions or one big reduction, and buyers perceive that the reductions mean the Sellers must be desperate.  So, then, to ensure that they don’t overpay, the buyers … (45 comments)

dallas real estate: Click It or Ticket! It's Fun to Live in Dallas! - 05/18/09 04:15 PM
I have a great drive to my office.  I live next to Lee Park on Turtle Creek in Dallas and take Turtle Creek Boulevard to get to work.  The park is one of the nicer “urban” parks I know of, featuring the beautifully restored Arlington Hall and nicely landscaped grounds, and today it featured a few unusual and fun additions:


 
What were these inflated characters doing in the park?  They are there promoting TxDOT’s “Click It or Ticket” Campaign.  This campaign is federally funded and promotes the use of seat belts.  According to the program coordinator I met … (22 comments)

dallas real estate: Better late than never! Outlook 2009 & My 15 Minutes of Fame. - 02/21/09 04:43 PM
Back in December, I commented to a client that I was quoted in the Residential Real Estate Outlook for 2009 article in the Dallas Business Journal.  I promised that I would post a link from my Blog, but the Dallas Business Journal has a policy of keeping these articles accessible online for “subscribers only” for several weeks.  Well, I got caught up in the holidays and a busy January and forgot to go back and post the article once it was publicly available… another tick on the clock of my “15 Minutes of Fame”.
This week my client called me up … (2 comments)

dallas real estate: Dallas ranked as 3rd largest Home Building market for 2008! - 02/21/09 04:09 PM

I was reading an online article from Builder magazine and came across that interesting fact, along with several other great ones about my city.
In naming Dallas as one 2009’s Healthiest Housing Markets (we ranked 5th), Builder magazine offered that compared to a 35% drop in housing permits nationally, in 2008, Dallas only dropped by 9%.  That’s 26% better than the national average!
The Dallas employment market also seems to be a source of strength.  According to the article, 42,000 new jobs were created in the Dallas market last year.  That represents a GROWTH rate of 2%.
And housing … (4 comments)

dallas real estate: Good Karma or Good Frozen Yogurt??? I say, “Why decide?” It’s a yummy "WIN-WIN"! - 08/30/08 11:17 PM
Has anyone else been to Orange Cup?
Orange Cup is a new concept frozen yogurt store with what has to be the best, delicious and healthy frozen yogurt my taste buds have ever encountered.  Their only current location is on the 2ndlevel of Northpark Mall near Neiman Marcus, but according to their website they have plans to open several more stores this year in the DFW area and Texas.
Besides their incredible all natural nonfat yogurt that has live and active cultures (and their incredible fruit and crunchy toppings), Orange Cup also makes you feel good about their product because they … (4 comments)

dallas real estate: Transit Oriented Developments: A way of life for North Texas and our changing times - 06/12/08 01:23 AM
I'm a big believer in "The Ripple Effect" and I see it all around me.
In fact, my AR blog post was about the Ripple Effect of Foreclosure.  Later, I wrote on the Ripple Effect of declining property tax appraisal growth.  I have also written posts on the effects of light rail mass transit and Transit Oriented Developments (TOD's) in the Dallas area including Word-a-palooza - Part Deux: A TOD Update and Dallas and Garland - Those TODdling Towns!  I see the growing popularity of TOD's as sort of a Ripple Effect of rising gas prices and the more general trend toward a more … (6 comments)

dallas real estate: Appraisal Growth… The next Ripple in the Ripple Effect. - 05/31/08 11:54 PM
When I began writing about all things real estate, I mentioned that there are ripple effects.  Home and property values can have far reaching effects and clearly the next ripple is about to become a big tidal wave... Property Tax Appraisal Growth.
I was reading the newspaper a week or two ago and a made a few mental notes that I wanted to write about here.  The news story was about how the slowdown in real estate price appreciation is this year affecting the growth of property tax revenues at a time when the cost for delivery of existing services is … (6 comments)
