Dallas City Council just approved a 45-acre planned development district (mixed-use) at the foot of the Trinity River Corridor a few weeks ago. Today's spotlight is on this mixed-use development along the hot Trinity River Corridor in Dallas. Just about every major city in Texas has had a surge in downtown revitalization since 2005, including San Antonio, Fort Worth, Houston, and Austin. Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert (inset) is relatively new, but has been surprisingly successful in rallying the city to respond to expected growth. He's keen on mixed-use development along the corridor and in other areas facing revitalization. You may ask what makes the Trinity River Project different.WHAT'S ALL THE FUSS ABOUT THE TRINITY RIVER REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT?Dallas citizens voted to improve the area ne...

I was showing condos in Dallas yesterday. My client is a first time home owner recently graduated from the great UT...the one and only UT...University of Texas that is!!! My client, her mom  and I are having a great time getting to know each other when we arrive at our next condo. The place is a converted apartment complex which seems to be a common thing in the Knox Henderson area of Dallas. As we approach the door we notice a foul smell. The entrance way to this condo has become someone's pet's personal toilet. This was the second worst thing I have seen as an agent. Obviously my clients passed this one up and was completely grossed out...This was not one visit by the pet and seems to have been going on for a while. There is no way the listing agent doesn't know about this!!!What is h...

Swiss Avenue Historic District Home Saved From Demolition Preservation Dallas, Private Investors Purchase 6015 Bryan ParkwayDALLAS -- Preservation Dallas has entered into an agreement that will ultimately save and rehabilitate a home in the Swiss Avenue Historic District. The Thomas and Kate Baldwin House at 6015 Bryan Parkway has been the subject of litigation since 2004 when Preservation Dallas and neighborhood residents obtained a temporary restraining order to halt demolition of the home. The c. 1915 house is an unusual Craftsman design that completes a virtually intact block face in the city's first historic district. Mr. Baldwin, the original owner, was on the editorial staff of the Dallas Morning News and later editor of the Semi-Weekly Farm News based in Dallas. Under the agreem...

It has just been made official: The Cotton Bowl is headed for the new Dallas Cowboys stadium in Arlington, Texas. The Cotton Bowl Classic has been played in the Cotton Bowl stadium since its inception in 1937 and soon will use the new facility on New Year's Day 2010. This brings good news for Jerry Jones - the owner of NFL Dallas Cowboys. The Cotton Bowl officials intend to pursue the Cotton Bowl as another BCS Bowl Series which are currently determined through the 2010 season. The Cotton Bowl facility has been deteriorating and with the unpredictable weather conditions in North Texas, this facility has not been a good contender as a choice of the BCS Bowl Series. However, the new Cowboys stadium is constructed with a retractable roof. Hence, this solves the weather issue in January whe...

The Sunday morning before Thanksgiving I noticed I was getting That Feeling in my throat.  It's the one I always try to intellectually overcome by reasoning it will go away.But it never does, and by Thanksgiving I had a full-blown case of the crud.Now I'm not hot on going to doctors unless it's a last resort, and that's primarily because they've changed their methodology since I was a child.  Not only do they no longer make house calls, or send something out when you explain by telephone how you feel, but they insist on extensive lab and diagnostic work that has nothing to do with why you have called for their services.Patty insisted that she call Our Doctor.  He agreed to provide a prescription for a non-narcotic cough suppressant that they like to call Pearls.  The things look like ro...

 So we are down to 3 more days until Christmas and only 2 more true shopping days left to max out your credit card for gifts on your loved ones.  Instead of running out there and finishing my shopping list, I instead like to play around on the internet and read the money article that are posted on msn.com.  I just finished reading an article on the 10 best cities to live in if you are a young professional, mid-level professional, married with kids, empty nester's, and retirees.  What really makes me upset with these lists is that there is no mention of Dallas, Texas anywhere on there.  I know that this going to be a little biased since I have lived in Dallas my whole life, but I know that this is a great place to start a family, to have a career, to buy an affordable good looking home, ...

According to Metrotex and our North Texas(NTREIS), sales are down but prices are up.  I'll reiterate the same theory I have in the past about how these numbers are skewed a little.  With the change of the subprime market, and making it a little more difficult for people with imperfect credit to get loans, sales have changed.  The main group this has affected is the group in the lower price range.  They already don't have much income and, on average, create more debt for themselves, they're the ones not able to buy homes right now.  With this group buying a less amount of homes, that makes room for the median sales price to inch up along with the average sales prices.  This is also why the number of sales has decreased with the averages going up.Number of Sales: 74,918% change a year ago...

Starting January 1, 2008, Texas will begin to collect fingerprints for all new licensees and license renewals.  This is for both sales agents and brokers.  The fingerprints will be used for the FBI to do background checks on everyone.  This is being done based on concerns many people have brought up with the state in the past.If your license expires in January or February, you can go ahead and renew your license now and not have to worry about the fingerprints until the next time you're up for renewal.  However, any license that expires March and beyond will be subject to the fingerprinting.Fast Facts on the Fingerprint Requirement from the TREC websiteHere are some brief points to sum up the new fingerprint requirement: Fingerprints that an applicant or licensee may have submitted for ...

Here is another great reason why buyer's should use a Realtor when purchasing a home or condo. I was reading an article about how foreclosures are causing some subdivisions to lose value in their homes.  If a buyer is thinking about buying a home that is for-sale-by-owner and they think that they can get a better deal make an offer without using an agent then this could hurt you financially down the road.   Realtors will be able to look up the amount of homes that are being sold at a discount in a certain neighborhood because of foreclosures.  In the DFW area alone there are still several good affordable areas to buy that are still increasing in value.  So if you are thinking about being please consult your Realtor and tell them that you want an area that has low foreclosures in that ar...

Looking for an affordable house for sale in the Dallas TX area?The best reason to purchase a HUD home are that they are sold through a bidding process and as long as they receive at least two bids, the highest bid is always accepted. This means that many HUD homes sell for far less then they would if they were not listed as a HUD home.  HUD also pays the real estate agent's commission from your bid and they evenpay the closing costs up to 5% of your winning bid.How do you find HUD homes? Just check out HUD's website.If you would like some additional resources that will help you purchase a house in the Dallas TX area check out my website by clicking here.

So you're looking for a basement home in Texas? If so you need to know that most homes in Texas don't have them because the water table prevents it.  In fact the term “Texas basement” actually refers to an attic. These "Texas Basements" are often accessible only though a closet or hallway on the upper level of a home.  Which is why most Texans store most of their extra belongings in their garage or shed.Regards,Darrell SelfP.S.  Make sure to check out my website at http://dmdrealtydfw.com  if you are looking for a home in the Dallas Fort Worth area!

When it comes to locating houses for sale in the Dallas TX area it’s really hard to beat a cheap home.  With the market the way it is here in Dallas these days finding homes at bargain rates has never been easier.  In fact we're in the midst of one of the greatest buyers markets that I have ever seen in my career. But I just want to share a word of caution to all the bargain hunters out there looking for some of the cheap houses for sales in the Dallas, TX area.  Although it's certainly easy to find homes at bargain rates throughout Dallas some of these bargain properties will obviously be better than others.  Some of these cheap homes are in really nice neighborhoods while many of them are located in areas not so good to raise a family in. But maybe you're looking to buy a house in the...
