Dallas home prices RISE 2.6%!!!

Prices were up 2.6 percent in the lates Standard & Poor's/Case Shiller Home price index. Also prices nationwide rose by 0.6 percent in February from a year earlier! Another great fact that proves our housing market in the Dallas Area is kicking butt and taking names is that February was the fourth consecutive month that Dallas-are home prices increased!

What does this mean for your adverage buyer? Well it means the time to buy is now. Our rates our still really low and home values are close to rock bottom pricing as they have been in years.

"We Pray that You Will"

As an East Dallas dweller, on and off for the past 14 years, and most other East Dallasites we are all hoping that Terilli's, Mick's Bar, Greenville Bar and Grill and Hurricane's can "RISE FROM THE ASHES!" I drive by this nearly everyday in hopes to see progress, and from the hardly legible hand writing in the middle on the top of this banner I'm not the only one!

They have supported the front brick wall, contractors have been named, and the community is behind them. There is even a Facebook page in support of the employees that have lost their jobs do to this tragic event: "Help Lower Greenville": http://www.facebook.com/pages/manage/?act=32496073#!/HelpLowerGreenville?ref=ts This group is also having a concert at the Balcony Club in Lakewood on May 23rd from 1:00pm-7:30 in support. Please go to this page for more information: http://www.facebook.com/pages/manage/?act=32496073#!/event.php?eid=103850742984254&ref=mf

As I get more news I will post more information on this blog and also on the new facebook group "Vickery Place Neighborhood." Please become a fan of Vickery Place Neighborhood for more community events, changes and happenings!
