2017 so far has been a great year for Dallas real estate. Housing demand has increased significantly, mortgage rates have remained affordable, and the government has already started delivering on its promise of infrastructure development. According to Realtor.com, the number of active listings has increased from 1,343,000 in January 2017 to 1,582,842 in July 2017, which is indicative of a strong housing demand.
But has Dallas managed to match the pace at which the national real estate industry is growing? Will it continue to progress at an unprecedented rate and offer more lucrative opportunities to both homebuyers and sellers?
Here’s a quick account of how Dallas real estate market is expect to behave in fall 2017.
1. Sellers will be In the Housing Market’s Sweet Spot
Whether you are relocating for work to another state or you are looking to make a move into a larger home, the fall of 2017 should be a favorable time for you to enter the housing market and list your home for sale.
The Dallas real estate market has experienced an 10 percent year-to-date increase in average listing price in the first nine months of 2017 and the trend is expected to continue for the remaining three months as well. So, you can expect to get a good return on your real estate investment. Just a small tip: prefer a higher offer over a quicker closing!
2. Buyers Will Face a Tight Market with Low Housing Supply and Intense Competition
If you are a first-time homebuyer or an individual looking to scale back, you are likely to face some trouble finding the home of your dreams this fall. A widening demand-supply gap resulting from limited housing supply and increasing real estate demand will cause you to face intense competition from rival homebuyers. However, flexibility will be the key to navigate through an intensely competitive landscape and find a cheap real estate deal.
If you are willing to move further north from downtown Dallas to the Suburbs of Celina, Prosper or Frisco, you will be able to find some really good real estate deals at reasonable prices. In addition, investing in a home that requires a small roofing or kitchen upgrade should also help you save a significant sum of money.
