        <title>Interest Rate Alert - U.S. Market Signaling Higher Interest Rates</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 
Are we nearing the end for cheap money? This week, the downtrend for interest rates hit a wall, along with the dollar rallying on foreign currency exchanges and gold trading back most of its recent gains. All these factors together are signalling higher real interest rates. There are many threads to follow about the economic direction of the U.S. and nothing is certain, but at this juncture, the consensus is December will see a .25 point rise in rates and that means interest rates most likely will increase, and plateau before the actual Federal Reserve rate hike occurs in December. The December Fed meeting will also give further market guidance concerning for rate hikes in 2018.nbsp;


There are many sources to follow concerning the economic direction of the U.S. and nothing is certain. However, at this juncture, the consensus is a quarter percent rate increase. Typically, interest rates will adjust upward before the actual rate hike occurs. So expect to see rates begin to rise, and in fact, they have already started an upward track.


The December Fed meeting will also give further market guidance concerning rate hike plans for 2018.nbsp;


Mortgage interest rates do in fact affect housing affordability, and if you are in the market for a home, or even have a home under contract, youll want to keep track of mortage interest rates to financially protect yourself. Historically speaking, todays rates are unbelievably low compared to typical mortgage rates of 6 to 8 that prevailed for years.nbsp;


The DFW housing market has slowed now that it is Q4, making now a great time to save money and lock in a lower rate on a new home. View reduced price new homes around Dallas Fort Worth now.

    <description> <![CDATA[ 
2017 continues to be a year of changes. In various DFW locations, we saw new home sales slow down to a crawl by August and this has created a rare buying opportunity with the current levels of new home inventories.nbsp;


Then came Hurricane Harvey and Irma which has fundamentally, in a 2-week space of time, changed the underlying cost of new construction via labor and material shortages. Additionally, mortgage interest rates are currently range bound with current A Paper rates around 3.7 and crude oil prices are at bullish multi-year highs, all of which helps the Texas economy. All these combined factors speak to renewed housing activity in Dallas Fort Worth and rising new home prices. nbsp;

        <title>Harveys Looming Impact on Housing in Dallas Fort Worth</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 
Early estimates reveal that approximately 100,000 homes have been damaged or lost to Harvey. It is estimated that nearly 80 of affected homes were without flood insurance protection. The scope of the economic disaster is already estimated at being the most costly in U.S. History.


In five short daysnbsp;time, Houston received a years worth of rain. Nearly no preemptive human measure could have prevented the massive floods, loss of life and sheer destruction that followed. We are in the first days of containment and recovery. Shelters are full, Texas citizens displaced, possessions lost and thousands of lives on hold.


Here in D/FWnbsp;we are already seeing the effects of Harvey at 1000s of local gas stations. Fuel shortages have also spread to Austin and San Antonio. Still these temporary inconveniences as frustrating as they are, pale in comparison to the 1000s of shuttered Houston area businesses, tens of thousands of long-term displaced residents and the years of reconstruction that now lies directly ahead.


One of the fundamental unanswered questions concerning Harvey is its impact on the Dallas/ Fort Worth and other Texas Housing Markets, who for years has represented some of the fastest growing housing markets in the United States.


Harveys Impact on DFW Real Estate Market Home Pricing


Since 2012, Dallas/ Fort Worth area home builders have complained of labor shortages,nbsp;the cost of labor and the ever escalating cost of building materials. Those shortages have strained the system,nbsp;raised new home prices and increased the time it takes builders to complete new homes. However, 2017 saw a percentage ofnbsp;the D/FWnbsp;housing market take a pause or correction from some of the best years ever. In fact, some of the best D/FW new home deals in yearsnbsp;(depending upon location and price point) can now be found,nbsp;but will these steeply discounted new home deals turn out to be a short lived market correction blip due to Harveys expected cost impact on future housing?nbsp;


Only time will tell, but higher costs, based upon increased labor and material demand, seemnbsp;unavoidable in light of record breaking storm damage losses. There are already accounts by Houston area contractors of their inability to secure building materials like lumber and drywall and Dallas Morning News is reporting housing market problems are inevitable. Even before Harvey, the National Association of Home Builders on August 14, 2017, was reporting a severe construction labor shortage, and now looming supply disruptions for building materials.


Already, an armada of contractors hasnbsp;arrived in Houston, with many thousand more expected. A percentage of these Houston bound contractors will be the same people building todays new homes in Dallas Fort Worth and their loss will further strain an already short supply of construction contractors. Over the years, I have talked with scores of construction crews, who expressed they liked working for insurance companies who generally pay better when they can get work from them. For insurance companies, Houston will represent an unprecedentednbsp;need for contractors from all the construction trades for years.


Since this is week one of a lengthy and difficult process, it is simply impossible to know how the completed book on Harvey will read, but what we do know is this, Harvey is a watershed natural disaster event that is expected to have far reaching economic implications that will to an uncertain degree, impact housing in Dallas/ Fort Worth. nbsp;


Update 9/12/2017


Many builders are reporting an upturn in sales activity. Inventory availability has created a micro-buyers market, but as home supplies are reduced, future prices will be subject to storm related cost factors.nbsp;
