North Dallas .....we booming...great investment!!!
It looks like it's becoming a seller's market now here in Raleigh. I bought my home last year for under $200K. I have 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathrooms in a 2100sqft house on a lot of 10K sqft. This summer I've seen homes comparable to mine and some with less than mine selling easily for anywhere between $200K-$215K.
I'm (just recently) in DFW and it's strong as fuck. I personally know several people that have either been trying to sell their homes or trying to lease/buy, and there are literally bidding wars for some properties. People list houses for sale or lease, and before you can get with your realtor to have them set up a viewing, the shit is already under contract. Or, you see the house, submit an application and the owner accepts, meanwhile someone else approaches them with more money (i.e. $100 more per month if you're renting or $5K or $10K more if buying), and the owner turn your shit down and go with the highest person. Shit is insane. I've been on the wrong end of this shit, thus far, but I can see capitalizing on it some point in the future, if it stays this hot.
lmao. if i was making bricks yeah, but i got a seed on the way, and those schools are shit. no cal aint no joke.
how's traffic though?
You can forgot about DC. It's one of the craziest seller's markets in the country, everything is over priced. I've seen shitty overpriced shells last one day on the market. My neighbor called me last week and asked if I wanted any tenants because he just sold his crappy 4 unit building for $610K. He did not even have to list it, he just told his realtor and she found investors.The same 4 unit buildings were going for 200-300 5 years ago. The market sucks for first time home buyers or small investors.
traffic has gotten better since they renovated 635 on the north side.....made it an easier commute.
but during rush hour and rainy days, its best to use the express lanes and HOV.
you guys think dallas will survive the drop in oil prices?
I'm planning my next move and its between houston, dallas and atlanta
i keep hearing dallas is more insulated to oil dropping than houston
Toronto...way overpriced!
Traffic terrible...but my commute is less than 20 miles...that don't bother me. I'm up 100k in 4years...N Dallas is where it's at.
It seems like it's a seller's market almost everywhere for homes 200-400k range..that what most people can afford anyways..but i see a lot of homes in atlanta like 800k and above and that shit is just sitting...
Been a sellers market in Houston the past 3 years, prices done went the fuck up, my best friend put his house onthe market and sold it in 2 days. Too many motherfuckers done moved to Houston bit a good thing is that so many luxury apartments have come on line that they all competing to get renters now
Yep they got all kind of specials to attract renters.

I been in the Frisco/little elm area for 8 years and haven't had any problems. White folks haven't moved either which is surprising.
the housing market is tied to the job market. If the job market is hot usually the houses are selling like hotcakes.... If the job market is cold then the houses are not selling and its a buyers market. Im in the DMV and its like a great job market so houses are selling and are overpriced. But just up the road in baltimore you could probably get a house on the cheap.
On my third flip in Philly. It's booming. So far I've cleared 163k. My rentals have gone up too. I can get 900 for a 2 bedroom now. These are cribs I copped for 19-25k cash.
You hit the nail on the head. Although DC is one of those markets where housing will always be hot, so to speak. I'm in Orlando and its kind of the same way. Extremely hot market right now
