Grayson-County-TX-12-Month-Home-Value-Trend

Grayson County real estate values are rising, reflecting the massive growth in technology manufacturers actively establishing themselves in the Sherman area. Accelerated Real estate demand is still 12-36 months away, and with it, continued gains in housing prices are expected. In Sherman and Denison, prices are still low, which makes it an ideal time to buy. I expect these prices to rise from now and for years into the future.

From January 2023 through January 2024, here are the Median Values and 12-month percentage of change in real estate values. Remember that where few homes make up the listings for any given month, changes can swing abruptly.

Howe $281,000 +23.0% | Sherman $294,450 +20.8%

Denison $226,150 -5.2% |  Van Alstyne $642,658

Will 2022 Be The Year The U.S. Housing Market Corrects?

Of course, I don't hold tomorrow's economic headlines in my hands, but on a historical basis, the U.S economy is long overdue for a correction, and who knows what this so-called RESET will do. Then the 2020 pandemic triggered a pronounced wave of extraordinary inflation and an unprecedented dislocation of the world's critical supply chains that still haunt our markets.

Huge government bailouts and emergency spending soon followed adding helicopter money to an economy whose factories were ordered to curtail operations and that triggered today's crisis of inflation caused by too much currency chasing too few goods. How come our so-called experts suddenly seem to be anything but experts?

Homes Sell As Quickly As They Hit The Market

Housing availability in the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex has been in a critically short supply. Builders are at full capacity and have sold out many neighborhoods. Additionally, home builders are restricting monthly sales as they shift towards selling near-completed inventory homes to prevent profit losses experienced in 2020 due to construction material inflation

A growing number of DFW home builders are leaning towards accepting "bids over asking price," like what is happening in the pre-owned housing market, as desperate homebuyers compete for new real estate. These current economic conditions have combined to create the greatest North Texas seller's market ever and, along with, a growing nightmare for today's homebuyers.

DFW Home Builders Take Steps to Avoid Inflation Risks and Now Sell SPEC Homes ONLY

BREAKING NEWS! Dallas Fort Worth and Texas-based home builders have had record business in 2020 and now in 2021, but not record profits as inflation has significantly minimized contractual profits estimated to be in the Billions of dollars. If buyers today think they can stop runaway housing inflation train by contracting to build from an empty lot months before closing, then they should know those days are now quickly coming to an end with an ever-growing list of DFW new home builders suspending build contracts in an effort to stop losses associated with monetary inflation.

Today, builders are turning away from traditional "build to suit" contracts on empty lots to contracting when new SPEC homes are ostensibly complete with known cost numbers to

3 Steps to Navigate a Gridlocked DFW Housing Market

The Dallas Fort Worth Housing Market has never seen such a housing shortage as now, and that is occurring with a record-breaking 40,000 new homes built in 2020 and another 40,000 forecasted to be built in 2021 according to KRLD Radio. Additionally, KRLD 1080 Radio reported, "the median price for a single-family home jumped 16% last month to nearly $313K, the highest price ever in North Texas."

For generations, there has always been an ample supply of area homes for sale, especially new homes, and that has helped to keep home prices competitive and in check, but for now, that past norm is "out the window" as the DFW Metroplex struggles with a housing supply shortage and rising prices. 

And so there are new rules that apply to both locals and

Dallas Fort Worth Real Estate Market Changes are on The Horizon Today

IT was bound to happen. Overplaying the COVID card has caused mountains of reckless government borrowing. With each passing day, the resulting debt-aftermath is approaching, and it looks daunting. It is clear to prevent a complete collapse of the credit currency that interest rates will need to go up to begin to remove from circulation all those inflation-causing credit instruments responsible for skyrocketing real estate and stock market valuations. In doing so, the Reserve Bank protects itself from collapse while transferring any resulting consequences to the people.

Honestly, it is not difficult to see that natural law is the gold standard of civilization. It fosters pricing stability and rationality, but it seems absent in today's artificial

 DLPFC is the Scientific Formula for Selling Your Home

This blog gets directly to the point. "DLPFC" controls the sale of real estate. When an MLS-listed property does not sell, one or more of the factors below are responsible.

Sellers Need to Understand the Concept of "DLPFC"

D - DEMAND. Without it, there are no buyers and no sales.

L - LOCATION. Location affects demand. Even great locations are subject to micro-location factors that affect demand and pricing.

P - PRICE. Rational price support must be generally supported by individual property facts and COMPS. Get this wrong and demand drops and listings languish on the market unsold.

F - FLOORPLAN. This is an underestimated factor. Not all floorplans have the same value. Identical homes (same floorplan), one having 3.5 baths and the
