The North Texas housing market started the year off strong
with the most home sales ever in the month of January.

Even in the face of increasing interest rates, we expect the demand for homes to stay as strong as the pace of job and population growth our state is experiencing. However, we expect the pace of home price increases to slow down. And, that’s not necessarily a negative as economists keep an eye on the dangers of over speculation in markets across the U.S.

Enclosed is a report showing activity in area communities during the first month of the year. But conditions and trends vary down to the block level in specific neighborhoods and in each price category. If you are thinking of selling your home, I would be happy to provide the most…

This year, organizers of the White Rock Home Tour — East Dallas’ premiere modern home tour — are asking tour-goers to go the extra mile (actually six miles if you’re counting). The reason? An amazing time capsule of a home located in Garland that has received only the pickiest of updates.

But Garland?

White Rock Home Tour chair Alyson Black assures me that this home is so spectacular that it’s worth the trip. “This home was built in 1965 by commercial architects Craycroft Lacy & Assoc. for a prominent TV news man in a scenic area of old Garland, and was lovingly restored a few years ago,” Black said. And after getting a sneak peek at the photos of this particular home, I have to agree: IT IS FABULOUS! In fact, it’s so…

When Joanna England first covered this midcentury modern gem back in September, our readers fell in love. Since then, the three-bedroom, two-bath charmer has taken quite a price cut — a steep one in fact – from $565,000 to its current list price of $495,000! Yes, you read that right. This puppy is ready to be SOLD!

Steeped in mystery with jaw-dropping post-and-beam design, our Friday Four Hundred is one of the most spectacular, untouched, midcentury moderns you can find under $500K in Dallas. Just ask listing agent Brandon Stewart of David Griffin & Company Real Estate.

“This is one of the rare time capsules that hasn’t been remodeled into a design bastard,” says Stewart. “It’s a classic midcentury modern with…

Brandon Stewart was honored this morning in the annual awards ceremony as the top listing agent for David Griffin & Company Realtors in 2017.

Our company celebrated a banner year in 2017 as North Texas existing home sales were the highest on record as they exceeded 106,000!

The enclosed report shows the sales activity that occurred in specific communities. We expect the strong sales pace to continue into 2018, but the inventory of available homes remains low. If you have been waiting to put your home on the market, now is a good time as buyer demand remains high.

If you have any questions about how the dynamics of today's market affect your specific real estate needs and goals, please consider me as your resource. Or, if you know anyone else who is thinking about buying or selling a home, I'd appreciate your referral to them. You can have confidence that I will provide exceptional…

We’re continuing our series, reaching out to Realtors who specialize in mid-century properties. We’ll be asking questions of Realtors across the United States to see what’s the same or different in various part of the country. Today we’re in Dallas, Texas, with mid-century specialist Brandon Stewart of Mod 214.

Tell me a little bit about yourself. How long have you been a realtor?

There's No Cool-Down When it Comes to Fall Home Sales!

In the "old days" of residential sales, we considered fall and winter to be the slowest seasons for home sales. But not anymore!

With thousands of people moving into North Texas every month, every season is home buying season with high buyer demand year-round. However, as you can see in the enclosed report, sales activity and prices vary from community to community.

If you would like information about a specific neighborhood or the price your home is most likely to sell for in today’s market, I can provide the most current data and trends. As a member of the Leading Real Estate Companies of the World®, I am also connected to the best real estate professionals in virtually every U.S. city…

Fall temperatures are cooler, but home sales are hotter than ever!

As you can see in the enclosed report, our housing market is stronger than ever as we head into the fourth quarter of the year. A rise in the number of homes on the market has provided more “product” to meet the buyer demand we are experiencing in North Texas. As a result, we are on track to once again break all previous annual existing home sales records.

However, real estate is a very localized business, and conditions can vary from block to block. You will note that some areas had a strong increase in available inventory, creating a longer time on market for homes. That’s why it’s important to have all the facts about your specific property as you make decisions about selling…
