The Case-Shiller Home Price Index for August came out today. The report found that the D-FW area was down by 1.2% from a year ago. This is close to the 2% drop reported by NTREIS (our local MLS). The 2 reports measure home prices differently so some difference should be expected. The Case- Shiller report also indicated that D-FW homes prices were only off by 4% from their high of June 2007. Our market has faired much better that any other major market in the country. We have been luck not have the massive numbers of foreclosures that other markets have experienced. Of course the real question if you are a Seller is"What's happening to prices in my neighborhood and what is my house worth?" And if you are a Buyer, "What is the house I want to buy worth?". The only way to answer those ques...

We must rebuild America and America's middle class by extending and expanding the $8,000 tax credit. There has been a rebound in housing in America due to the first time homebuyer's tax credit. Our huge inventory has decreased and prices have increased. For America to recover and for our middle class to truly recover this tax credit needs to be increased and extended to all home buyer's. In a recession the first thing to go down is the residential real estate market. History has taught us that in order for our economy to rebound and become healthy again the residential real estate market must lead the way in recovery. In doing so the industry that represents over 50% of our jobs ( real estate ) will cause unemployment in America to shrink. What better stimulus plan than to shrink job lo...

How to Say, "You're Being Ticketed for Not Speaking English" in Spanish?  As a native Texas, I've heard my fair share on the subject, but this is unreal!  I, personally learned the Spanish language to help educate those that want to learn English, and by my experience, most Spanish speaking individuals who live in the US, truly want to learn the language AND I love to travel to Mexico! ;)!  I will try my hardest, not to get in a war of words based on my beliefs on the subject and hard working, law abiding hispanic citizens. That being said...here it goes... "Dallas police wrongly ticketed at least 39 drivers for not speaking English over the last three years, Police Chief David Kunkle announced Friday while promising to investigate all officers involved in the cases for dereliction of d...

REESTABLISHING YOUR CREDIT  TO GET A MORTGAGE LOAN - DALLAS, TEXAS HOMES AND REAL ESTATE Despite the various reasons why people may find themselves in a financial bind that damages their credit rating, the major obstacle that stops most from rebuilding their credit is lack of knowledge regarding how credit scoring works and what specific steps should be taken to ensure a quicker recovery.  The popular myth is that once a person's credit score is damaged from late payments, collections, a bankruptcy or even a foreclosure, those issues must be resolved or removed from their credit report or they face a seven year curse of bad credit.  It's almost like the old tale about breaking a mirror - once the damage is done, the only thing that can remove the curse is to wait around for the seven ye...

I am not sure why, but, in addition to real estate topics, I love blogging about my favorite restaurants in Dallas and someone suggested to me that I provide my blog readers with a reference summary of my reviews.  I am not a professional foodie or food critic, but I do like to eat and I do know which meals I enjoyed and which ones left a bad taste in my mouth.  Jon Zolsky suggested that I leave a disclaimer on my restaurant posts, so, just for the record, I have not ever, nor will I ever accept any gratuity, free food or other compensation for including an establishment, business or service on my blog or for the nature of my comments on it.  (How's that for an absolute disclaimer?) Judging by the list of places I have reviewed on my blog I should weigh much more than I do, and seeing t...
