DFW Area Growth

The US Census Bureau recently cited Dallas/Fort Worth and surrounding counties as the third fastest growing major metropolitan area in the country and reported that the area's population grew by more than 108,000 between July 2012 and July 2013. In Denton County, 60% of the population growth was the result of people moving to the area from other parts of the U.S., while half of Collin County's growth was attributed to people moving to the area. Approximately 14,000 people moved to Tarrant County from other parts of the country.

The Census Bureau also reported that Texas outpaced the rest of the country in job growth by a significant margin.

This strong growth in new jobs and population relocating to the DFW and North Texas area will have a positive and direct effect on the local housing market, bringing many new potential home-buyers to the area.

With more than 1,600 Associates in 30 local sales offices throughout the DFW and N. Texas area, the Ebby Halliday Companies are well positioned to assist people moving into the area with their real estate needs. 

Visit the firms' websites - ebby.com anddaveperrymiller.com - for assistance or information on more than 29,000 homes listed for sale in the area.

Have You Thought About Selling Your Home or Buying a New Home?

If you’ve been tossing around the idea of putting your home on the market or buying a new home, now is a great time to do so.  For buyers this means that homes are still affordable and interest rates are low. For sellers this means that home values are increasing and lower inventory in many areas means more competition for your home.

The information I’m showing you in the following graphic gives you an overview of the top reasons for buying and selling now. While page one outlines three reasons to buy, page two offers three great reasons to sell.

I’m always available to answer any questions you have about our local real estate market. If you’ve been thinking of selling your home or buying a new one, please contact me. And if you have family or friends who are thinking of buying or selling, I would love to help them as well.

It's a Good Life!


Alan
