Why Dallas is the most affordable place to live in the U.S.

Candace Carlisle Staff Writer- Dallas Business Journal Dallas is the most-affordable major metropolitan area to live in the United States, according to a report by ZipRealty, which measures the national housing market. The ranking is based on median household income and the median home prices. This is the first year ZipRealty has compiled this data, which measures 30 metropolitan areas throughout the country. Dallas’ median household income is $47,418 with the median home price of $249,950, which gives it a home price to median income ratio of 5.27. That ratio of home price to income is the lowest in the country, said Lanny Baker, president and CEO of Calfornia-based ZipRealty Inc. (NASDAQ: ZIPR) “My sense is that the economy in Dallas is healthier today than it’s been for awhile,” Baker said, attributing his opinion to North Texas’ stable income levels. “That hasn’t yet translated into higher housing values.” The favorable ratio of income to housing prices could bring in folks Continue Reading

Booming Dallas Growth Spurs Housing Market

Texans boast, “everything is bigger in Texas,” and now that includes the growth momentum. Several Texas cities are expanding at nearly twice the national average! Low density, sustained economic growth, and more affordable housing lead the way in the evolution of major cities. This is great news for home sellers and buyers, as Dallas-Fort Worth offers all of that and more. Texas welcomed over 427,000 newcomers from August 2011 to July 2012, according to the most recent U.S. Census data released last week. Of that, Dallas-Fort Worth increased by 132,000 and has the fastest population growth in the U.S. Houston-Galveston came in a close second, growing by more than 125,000 newcomers. Forbes published an analysis that included this Census data. Using the Census data and Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA) data of the most populous cities and suburbs, they scrubbed and rated them on these metrics: 1.Rate of population growth for 2012 1.Estimated population growth for 2013 2.Job growth 3.Rate of Continue Reading

Dallas Area Third Nationwide Among Markets with High Home-Equity Rates

Steve Brown of The Dallas Morning News reports that with housing values rising in North Texas, Dallas-area homeowners now enjoy one of the best home-equity positions in the country. Brown cites a just-released report by CoreLogic Inc. showing that at the end of 2012 the Dallas area had the third-highest share of homeowners with mortgages who had positive equity in their homes. Approximately 90 percent of local homeowners owed less than their houses are now worth. Only Nassau-Suffolk, N.Y., and the Houston area had higher percentages of homeowner equity, according to the CoreLogic report. At the other end of the spectrum, Tampa-St. Petersburg, Fla., and the Miami area had the lowest equity with more than 40 percent of homeowners with a loan owing more than their property is worth. Homeowner equity has been growing in the past year as housing markets around the country have turned the corner. During the fourth quarter of 2012, CoreLogic estimates that 200,000 U.S. homes Continue Reading
