My As-sister (Assistant +Sister), Tiffany Bourgeois, just paid off her car note this morning at Texans Credit Union just in time to move on to her next big purchase....her first home. At the young age of 24, a girl can only be on the right track for success and living a low debt life with her new hubby, Billy Bourgeois. We captured the moment this morning as she wrote that final check:
She will be sending those Benjamin Franklins into Wells Fargo for the next 15 years or less to pay for her new house now. But instead building equity toward an appreciating asset and building a base for her future wealth. Cheers to your future in the land of Homeowner ship Tiffany and Billy Bourgeois!

Congrats to one of my favorite people...Cindy R! Cindy just closed on her very well built, atractively finished out, and desired location of Frisco Ranch in Little Elm TX located off of FM 423 and between Panther Creek and 380. She saw it and within her fist glance, knew this was her home! I could not have been more proud to negociate the deal, take her to contract to close and see her smile so big at the closing table yesterday. With special Thanks to Lionsgate Homes in Frisco Ranch in Little Elm TX and their star sales person, Candice Youssef for pushing thru our offer and taking on such a customer service oriented experience.

Today was such a treat! We were so lucky that the Mayor of Allen, Steve Terrell, took time out of his busy schedule to meet with our Real Estate Group. He filled us in on several topics and you can really sense his passion for what he does. He has held his position as Mayor for 15 years and it's clear to see that without his vision, Allen would not be the success it is today. I'd like to share some interesting things we took away from our meeting.
We also discussed the possibility of DART expanding through Allen and McKinney. It is mindblowing to learn that it costs approximately 85 million per mile to install DART. Also, if it was voted on today to install DART, it would take 15 years to build.
Lastly, there are only a handfull of new construction communities left so don't miss out investing in the best place on Earth....oh wait that's Disney World...well, Allen's close enough in my mind.
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:
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.

PRE-OWNED HOMES: These can offer great value since most pre-owned homes are usually priced lower than brand new homes. In addition, most pre-owned homes are ready for move in because blinds/shutters/window coverings are already in place, landscaping is mature, and patios and fences have already been installed. You can also immediately determine how charming the neighborhood has become over the years and how accessibility it is to transportation, schools, entertainment, and shopping. Lastly, most pre-owned homes have taken on their own style with painted walls, wood flooring, updated cabinets, and much more. Below are some popular subdivisions in Collin County.
