Are Home Prices Down in DFW? | May 2023 Housing Market Update and Predictions North Texas

Are home prices down from last year? What is the news getting wrong about house prices? How is the housing market in Dallas-Fort Worth? Is it a good time to buy a home in Fort Worth? Is it a good time to sell a house in Dallas? Should you move to North Texas and DFW right now?
Chase explains what news stories are getting wrong about home prices in North Texas, and how buyers and sellers can best take advantage of this moment in the Real Estate Market.
In the "News on the Ground", Chase shares the current state of the DFW housing market for home buyers and home sellers. Buyers have competition in the market, but can manage it with the right planning and mindset. It is one of the best times of the year to sell a house, and people wanting to get the most money for their home should think reasonably and strategically to get the best results. Both buyers and sellers would benefit from the right help and expert advice in this marketplace.
In the "Nerd Corner", Chase shares how to correctly understand the stats about home prices in DFW. Last summer's pandemic price surge caused an inflated peak in the housing market. It is likely that home prices will be less on average than they were last summer, but that does not mean home prices are trending downward. When news stories come out with reports about a drop in prices it is important to understand what is really happening.

Moving Houses in a Changing Economy in DFW | March 2023 Housing Market Update North Texas

How is the Dallas-Fort Worth Housing Market? How does a recession or changing economy impact buying or selling a house? Is it a good time to buy a home in Fort Worth? Is it a good time to sell a house in Dallas? What's happening with mortgage rates and home affordability? Should you move to North Texas and DFW right now? Is it a buyers or sellers market?
Chase explains how changing factors and volatility have impacted the Dallas Fort Worth Area housing market so far in 2023, and how buyers and sellers can best take advantage of a unique Real Estate Market.
In the "News on the Ground", Chase shares the current state of the DFW housing market for home buyers and home sellers. Buyers are dealing with changing mortgage interest rates and affordability, but many have factored these costs in already. We have continued to see competition and even some multiple offer situations in houses that are well priced and in good condition, especially in the first time home buyers price point. Sellers can take advantage of the lower inventory, but should consider the pressures on buying conditions as a warning sign and price wisely. Those who want to sell this year in Dallas Fort Worth area will do best if they seek competent professionals and price based on current market research.
In the "Nerd Corner", Chase shares the competing factors and trends that are causing so much uncertainty and volatility in what he is calling the current tug of war of the real estate market. Essentially, there are several factors that alone would push house prices down or up, but because they are all happening at the same time lead to conflicting signals and narratives in the news cycle. Chase advises that people should base their decisions on factors that are less volatile, namely their budget and house needs along with the historical trends. Hopefully the info shared in this section can help people make more confident home buying or selling decisions on timelines that are right for them, not based on fear and news cycles.

Home Affordability and Sales Up in DFW | February 2023 Housing Market Update North Texas

@HansenRealtorsDFW on YouTube and Instagram
 
How is the Dallas-Fort Worth Housing Market? Is it a good time to buy a home in Fort Worth? Is it a good time to sell a house in Dallas? What's happening with mortgage rates and home affordability? Should you move to North Texas and DFW right now? Is it a buyers or sellers market? Chase explains how lower mortgage rates have impacted the Dallas Fort Worth Area at the beginning of 2023, and how buyers and sellers can take advantage of a unique Real Estate Market.
 
In the "News on the Ground", Chase shares the current state of the DFW housing market for home buyers and home sellers. Buyers have returned to the market more quickly than home sellers, leading to competition and even some multiple offer situations in houses that are well priced and in good condition. Many sellers have not begun listing houses yet this early in the year, but with lower mortgage rates, buyers have already jumped back in, so Chase recommends that sellers could take advantage of the higher demand to get a home sold more quickly with better terms. No one knows whether mortgage rates will continue their trend of dropping throughout the year, or if the Federal Reserve will shift them back up, so it is smart to make moves when you're financially able.
 
In the "Nerd Corner", Chase shares statistics from the Mortgage Bankers Association showing the rising demand in the home market nationwide, as well as an article outlining a rise in home builder sentiment in the US. These stories back up the experience on the ground and could point to a stable year of activity in the housing market, although Chase reminds viewers that they should not rely on the Federal Reserve to move in their home buying or selling interest, so it is important to think through all the factors when deciding when to move.

Worst Time to Buy a House in DFW? Mortgage Rate Drop 2023? December 2022 North Texas Market Update

How is the Dallas-Fort Worth Housing Market? Has the home market crashed? Can buyers get deals on houses right now? Is inflation helping or hurting home buyers and home sellers? Should you move to, or in, North Texas and DFW right now? When will mortgage rates fall and make houses affordable again? Should you buy a house right now? Should you sell a house right now?
Chase explains how the Holidays and Christmas Time are generally the slowest time of the year in the real estate market, and it is pretty normal to see prices drop and longer days to sell this time of year. People don't like to move during the holidays, so it tends to be a good time for buyers to get better deals and a slower time to sell.
In the "News on the Ground", Chase shares the current state of the DFW home market for home buyers and home sellers. People who want to buy a house right now have a lot more home inventory to choose from, better prices, and an easier time getting concessions and repairs from sellers who are motivated. People who want to sell a house right now are facing longer days on market, and are subject to the competition and consequences of the market shift. Chase explains that these factors make it more important than ever to have a good real estate agent to help you strategize and position you home on sites like Zillow and help you sell more effectively to meet your family's goals.
In the "Nerd Corner", Chase shares a news story from November about inflation and mortgage rates. On November 10th the Consumer Price Index report, or CPI, revealed lower than expected inflation numbers for October, and this led to a sudden Mortgage Rate drop. Chase explains how the Federal Reserve has been manipulating rates, and shares how this might point to inflation lowering in 2023 and how this may cause a sudden and significant drop in mortgage interest rates and another market shift. He then gives strategic thoughts for how to position yourself as a buyer if rates are a factor you are waiting on to take full advantage of any coming market changes.

Is the Housing Market DOOMED? November 2022 North Texas Market Update

What is happening in the Dallas-Fort Worth Housing Market? Are home prices falling? How does the recession impact home prices? Should you move to, or in, North Texas right now? What is the housing market like in DFW? Should you buy a house right now? Should you sell a house right now?
Chase gives a fuller explanation of the heart behind these updates why he has focused on the News on the Ground and Nerd Corner segments as necessary info for home buyers and home sellers in DFW. He also provides insight into the only 2 factors that should matter when buying a house - motivation and money. If a person has a real motivation to move, whether because of job and life changes or just a clear desire. And if a person can afford to move monetarily, if they have the funds and can afford the monthly payments. Chase proposes that these are the things people should put the most weight on when thinking of moving, not news headlines and angry people on the internet.
In the "News on the Ground", Chase shares the current state of the DFW home market and how things have not crashed the way people have predicted. He gives reasons why this may be the case and why he continues to expect a more stable market and not a home market crash. He then shares the current things home buyers should expect and the current things home sellers should expect if they are planning to move and interact with the real estate market including how long houses take to sell right now and how much people can negotiate on price.
In the "Nerd Corner", Chase addresses the current news headlines about quickly slipping prices. Home prices are falling in DFW and nationwide, but Chase shows why these stories are not what they claim to be, and how this fall to winter price drop in the housing market is a normal yearly occurrence. He shows a graph of the last 10 years of price cycles and even shares how a similar dynamic happened last year in the peak of the home market.
