Consumer Confidence and Job growth, my opinion, are the two main infrastructures as to why people buy and sell Real Estate in all markets, including my own in Dallas Fort Worth. Dallas Fort Worth has exceptional job growth and increasing numbers throughout 2011 with expected recovery in Real Estate in 2012. Economists with Metro Study are estimating that DFW will see lower levels of inventory , more starts, and more multi-family construction in DFW in 2012, thus labeling our state to be in recovery mode in 2012.

Our Job Growth cart shows that DFW has levels almost surpassing similar numbers in our expansion years in 2005, 2006, and 2007. Now that is a good sign!

With rates as low as they have EVER been in my life time, the purchasing power goes so much further. FHA loans still allow for the consumer to take a minimal out of pocket, thus only bringing 3.5% to the table in total if they are able to roll in their closing costs. This is one graph where we want to see the downward trend continue to fall, making a perfect storm in the DFW area.

Recovery Mode + Leading National Levels of Job Growth + Lower Inventory + Historically Low Mortgage Rates = PERFECT TIME TO BUY and Consumer Confidence

DFW has had tremendous growth for the rest of the county's recessionary woes. The information I am going to provide you from a 2012 Economic Forecast meeting hosted by Metro Study and the data they collected for since 2008 will help us to understand what to expect on a Local level and in our metroplex. Here are some interesting facts to start off the analysis:

• Dallas Fort Worth absorbed 15,240 apartments during 2011
• Occupancy in DFW rents rose to 93% during 2011, up 2% this year
• Average rent in DFW rose 5%. High Demand locations saw rent increases as much as 10%
• 5,417 units were delivered during 2011. Approximately 8,000 units are currently under construction.

According to the DFW Multiple Listing Service thru December 2011 here are some stats for our metroplex:

YTD Sales: 64,249

Average Price: $196,862

Median Price: $147,000

Inventory: 27,058

DOM: 90

Months Supply: 5.1

Consumer confidence and Job growth are huge indicators of the Economic Forecast for Dallas and most cities. Texas is #2 in the nation for Job Growth as of November 2011 with a 2.2% increase totaling 227,800 jobs created. I am glad to say that Janus Real Estate Group contributed 4 new positions in 2011 and we are proud to be a part of that number :) And on a more micro level, Dallas Fort Worth was #2 in as a Top Job Growth Market behind Houston taking the #1 spot. Two of Texas' largest cities take spots 1 and 2. It is no wonder why our Texas economy is still so strong--Jobs, land and lower cost of living. Dallas Fort Worth should see a rise in Multi Family construction, more starts pulled at the city level and all around Real Estate recovery in 2012. We still have quite a bit of a journey to go as a Nation and as a State and local metroplex, but we are in the greatest place to invest in the county with a strong economy and growth opportunities to come our way.
