Fastest Growing Cities in US - Deep in the Heart of TX

Sunday, May 22, 2016
by Christie Cannon

Texas holds 5 of the top 15 fastest growing cities (for towns with populations in excess of 50,000). 

Frisco continues to top the charts with 6.3 percent growth in 2015.  This continued growth places Frisco as the 4th fastest growing city in the US (by percent growth). Here in Texas, we find a new trend in the fastest growing cities, as we continue to see outward pressure from city centers drive suburban economic growth. Other "Burbs" to make the chart here in TX include (in order of ranking): Georgetown, New Braunfels, Pearland, & Frisco.  College Station was the only non-traditional suburb to make the list!

Be water smart as we enter the summer!

Ok, so maybe this isn't the most fun topic for the spring; especially after another season of flash flooding & huge rains, but it wasn't that long ago when our lakes & lawns were suffering under long drought.

Once again, as we prepare to enter the summer season, it is time for us to be good stewards of our resources. Fortunately, most city's are actually eager to assist home owners & tenants alike! 

From Free Check-ups to Discounted Rain Barrel Sales, Rebates, & Incentives - you may be surprised by how helpful your city really can to be!

DFW growth brought almost 80,000 to the area last year

Monday, April 18, 2016
by Christie Cannon

In one of Steve Brown's most recent articles with the Dallas Morning News, Mr Brown does an excellent job of boiling down some of last year's census numbers into easy to digest numbers.  Between mid 2014 & mid 2015, the DFW area saw in increase of approx 78,000 people to the area.  Collin, Denton, & Tarrant counties led the way with 20K, 19K, & 18K people new to the area!  This equates to approx 6,500 people per month coming in the area! 

This influx of new folks to the DFW area continues to highlight a growing struggle between rising housing costs, a lag in new construction, & low pre-owned home inventory. 

Have questions of how this & other real estate news may affect your home in the market, please feel free to give me a call!

Storm & High Winds Take Down Frisco TX Silo!

Tuesday, March 8, 2016
by Christie Cannon

I have talked about the Frisco TX;s unique silos previously.  Unfortunately, in a storm today, one silo fell to the wind!  It appears that high winds took the silo off its foundation! 
Here is to hoping that Frisco is able to move forward on a project with the existing space that will continue to bring value to our great city!
Best of luck & prayers to any one affected by the storm.

Real Estate News: 5 Real Estate Trends in 2016

Monday, December 28, 2015
by Christie Cannon

Realtor.com & the National Association of REALTORs just posted their predictions for the top 5 industry trends in 2016.

 

  • A Return to Normal for Real Estate

In the words of Skywalker, "it will bring balance to the force."  While sales will continue strong, most markets will see a return to the more modest gains that are reflected in a balanced (& more sustainable) market.

  • Generational Data Supports Strong Selling Season in 2016 
In 2015, Millennial buyers represented almost 1/3 of home purchases.  This trend is expected to continue in 2016; as well as an expected return of financially recovering Gen-Exers & Baby Boomers.  According to the NAR, Gen-X buyers will be entering their "prime earning" years, just as Baby Boomers are tradtionally seeking to down size &/or relocate for retirement. More predictive analysis for 2016 (several years out) can be found here!
 
  • Builders will Transition to More Affordable Housing
As balance returns to pre-existing home sales and credit availability improves for first-time buyers, builders will see more attractiveness in building products to fill these niches.  Likewise, with the increased capital in the market from 2015, the direction of growth is already trending to the "out-skirts" of traditional suburb areas where land prices are more affordable.
 
  • Interest Rate Rise Will Affect the Higher-Price Markets
The FED has already increased interest rates this past month.  Additional increases are expected in 2016, with mortgage rates predicted to rise up to 60 basis points. As the rate increases, affordability will drop.  In areas where the move-up buyer is a significant part of the market, even a small "affordability" drop can have significant affect.
 
  • Rents Will Continue Their Rise (in some areas meteorically)
In more than 85% of market areas, the average rent to income ratio already exceeds 30%.  Demand aside, increases in property taxes & tax valuations result in double digit rent growth as those cost are passed from landlord to tenant.
