Yes, There's Good News in Real Estate!

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams

Welcome to my blog, which will be dedicated to spreading the GOOD NEWS about real estate in our area, job creation in our area and the many transportation improvements underway that make our area in southern Denton County a magnet! 

Did you know...

The price per square foot for 2008 in our MLS area was down only 2% and our median                       home price was up 6%?

The price per square foot for leases is up, the days on the market for leases is down and the total number of properties leased is up?  Great time for investors!

Texas is home to more FORTUNE 500 companies than any other state? 

That for the last 6 years Texas has led the nation in exports? 

In 2007, Texas added 65,800 additional jobs and through October 2008 had added an addtional 50,00 jobs to the economy?

Allied Van Lines reports that for the year 2008, Texas was the #1 destination for residential relocations?  This is the 4th year in a row that Texas has been #1 for Allied.

There are 4,108 new residences planned in the next 5 years in Flower Mound alone?

 

That Keller Williams Dallas Metro North in Flower Mound sold more listings than any other brokerage in our area in 2008?  That the training & education you receive at Keller Williams will help you run your business as a wealth building asset....not just a job?  That Keller Williams Dallas Metro North in Flower Mound returned over $158,000 back to their agents as profit sharing in 2008?  AND THAT IS GOOD NEWS!

Welcome Anne. It is not as bad as the national news reports state for sure. Particularly in North Texas and our market area.
