Sales continue to remain slow in Richardson. Sales were down by 28% in January. The average sales price declined by 10% and the median sales price was off by 13%. The number of new listings declined by 5% while the number of active listings showed a 40% increase. The number of active listings is distorted due to the fact that last year at this time the number of active listings was extremity low.  The months of inventory now stands at 4.8 months. This is still a very good number and with any pickup in sales we could be back to a shortage of homes on the market very quickly. Interest rates have been climbing and if you are thinking about buying a home now is a very good time. Sales: 34 Average Sales Price: $162,299 Median Sales Price: $153,000 New Listings: 86 Active Listings: 321 Months... 02/11/2011

Well, the news and every other media outlet is talking about it, so I may as well throw in my two cents. The Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex fell victim to a cool front and snow "storm," crippling Texas life and driving. Okay, maybe not crippling... but the majority of Texans seemingly lose all sense of driving ability when precipitation enters our little worlds (see: wrecks in Dallas). Here are some of my pictures from the snowfall for your enjoyment. Northern areas of the Metroplex received just over 6" of snowfall and the majority of school districts were closed today, acknowledging the dangers in driving over iced bridges and passages.  Temperatures are hovering in the thirties and are expected to dip into the teens over the next 3-4 nights. And while the snowfall comes as a headache to... 01/10/2011

Seems that life has been one oversized and gift-wrapped bundle of changes as of late. And while new is scary sometimes, change is the only constant. While out shopping a little with my Mother on a cool crisp Saturday, I saw this simple reminder - change is a beautiful thing.   11/14/2010

Sales were down by 33% in October mirroring the overall decline in the Dallas/ Ft. Worth. The average sales price was up by 1% while the median sales price was down by 3%. The number of new listings dropped by 6% but the number of active listings remain very high with a 79% increase. There is currently a 5.9 months supply on the market. Pending sales continue to decline and were off by 27%. A lot of potential buyers are sitting on the sidelines but let me give you 2 reasons to buy now: Interest rates are at historically low levels but they can not stay here forever. At some point probably sooner than later, rates will start to rise. If you get a fixed rate loan now, you will probably realize that you got a great deal in a couple of years as your friends try to buy homes in a higher inte... 11/12/2010
