DFW homes see prices rise for 11th straight month

Standard and Poor's Case-Shiller Home Price Index for January 2013 has just been released and the good news for the DFW real estate market continues to come in. According to Case-Shiller, DFW home prices were 7% higher in January 2013 than they were in January of 2012. Lack of inventory and great interest rates have helped contribute to the rise in home prices in the Dallas Ft. Worth market area. 



Nationally, the news is very positive. In the 20 cities that Case-Shiller studies home prices were up an average of 8.1% over the last 12 months. Home prices across the nation are back to their fall 2003 prices, a great sign that the housing market has truly started to recover. Foreclosure filings continue to be down over 25% from a year ago and housing starts saw nice rises in the month of February 2013.

Where have all the houses gone???

Home inventories in North Texas continue to shrink

Ask any Realtor in Collin County how the real estate market is today and with no hesitation he or she will reply, CRAZY!!!! We have seen a 180* turn-around in the last 12 months. What was once a buyer's market in many parts of North Texas has QUICKLY become a very seller friendly market. 

Homes in North Texas are selling faster than Realtors can get them listed. Multiple offer situations are becoming the norms for both buyers and sellers.  Weekend open houses which just  a year ago might have attracted one or two prospective buyers walking through may now see over 20 interested parties literally jostling for position to get in the door. Home builders are filling waiting lists daily with new buyers. 

The leading cause for this crazyness in the real estate market is the lack of available homes for sale. Most areas of North Texas are seeing inventory levels at or near all-time lows. Take a look at the chart below and see what your city's monthly supply of homes for sale. Keep in mind anything under two months is considered a very HOT seller's market.

CITY	# OF ACTIVE LISTINGS	# OF SOLD OR PENDING LISTINGS LAST 6 MOS.	MONTHS SUPPLY OF HOMES FOR SALE
Plano	424	1720	1.48
Allen	195	777	1.50
McKinney	415	1613	1.54
Frisco	536	1536	2.09
Little Elm	126	551	2.24
Celina	70	95	4.43
Prosper	132	233	3.40
