CityDreamHome Realty has been watching the economy; and specifically the Dallas Area housing market. As previously stated in our blog post, the Dallas housing market is a little different when compared to most other area in the nation. Yes, we are down, but the hit has been cushioned by a good job market, and lower overall housing cost.
The Lake community of Little Elm remains one of the most affordable places to live in the area; at an average price just under $171,000. It does not hurt that it borders the boom town of Frisco. Don't get me wrong, this economy still has issues, and we as consumers are paying more for just about everything we purchase. How many of us were shocked when we got the last electric bill? No rose colored glasses here.
With that said, it's still a buyers market out there and buyers with their credit ducks in a row can take advantage of the many good deals. If you're a seller and you have maintained or enhanced the value of your home; your chances of a quicker sale are good. Prices are down, so don't expect the same margins made just a few years ago. In our next post, we'll talk about the ways you can make your home stand out from the rest.
