Could The DFW Real Estate Market See A Slowdown in 2016?

It’s no secret that both the DFW housing market and the economy in general has been robust throughout 2015. Steady job gains and sudden population increases have directly resulted in positive growth for just about every segment of the Dallas-Fort Worth real estate market over the past 12 months, but as we rapidly approach the end of 2015, could we possibly see a slowdown in 2016?

According to some economists, lower oil prices and job cuts in the energy industry will almost certainly result in a decline in market conditions, with next year perhaps seeing just a 2 to 3 percent growth as opposed to the 3 to 6 percent we’ve been seeing in recent months and years.

Although much of the North Texas region is much less dependent on the energy industry than many…

DFW's Hottest Victorian Houses Currently Listed For Sale

Victorian style homes are some of the most distinct and recognizable you’ll find anywhere on the DFW real estate market. The term “Victorian” mostly refers to a style of home that originally started back in the 1830s and continued to be built through 1910, or basically all the way through the entire reign of Queen Victoria.

Perhaps the first thing you’ll notice about Victorian style homes are the ornate and elaborate details and characteristics that actually borrow a number of different elements from a variety of other architectural styles like Gothic, French, Italian, and Tudor-style designs. But even despite their variances, most Victorian style homes still share plenty of key common features, including the following:

• Most Victorian homes are…

Construction Begins at Turtle Creek's Newest Apartment Community, Modera Turtle Creek

Construction for the much-anticipated apartment building coming to the southwest corner of Cedar Springs Road and Welborn Street is officially underway, according to reports. Being called Modera Turtle Creek, this unique new project is specifically designed to cater to the large influx of creative professionals that seem to be flocking to this vibrant and dynamic part of the Dallas, which continues to get more and more popular by the day seemingly.

Adding to the appeal is the building’s strong walkability element, which is now becoming a top priority for most urban dwellers looking for a new place to live in the city. About a block off Turtle Creek Boulevard, residents at Modera Turtle Creek will be just steps from all kinds of shopping, dining, and…

It's All About Location, Location, Location at The Terrace

Cool city views are a big hit among urban home buyers and few condo buildings provide a better combination of a great location with even better downtown views than The Terrace. Located in the heart of Dallas’ Victory Park neighborhood, residents at The Terrace are literally just steps from some of the city’s best shopping, dining, and cultural attractions, but that may not be the best part about living here.

A relatively newer condo development that’s actually somewhat affordable for the area, living spaces inside The Terrace are spacious and functional, and to top it off, each unit also comes equipped with a private balcony as well.

Worried about not having any lifestyle amenities? Don’t be.

The Terrace also offers residents and condo owners a rooftop…

DFW Home Prices Projected to Stabilize in 2016

An interesting report surfaced in the Dallas Morning News today, which suggested we may see slow down in price jumps in the local real estate market. With inventory down and job growth increasing in the DFW region, home prices in the area were up nearly 10% in 2015 from the previous year, making it the largest annual increase of any market in the country according to CoreLogic Inc.

But if you believe a recently released forecast from realtor.com, 2016 could see home price increases significantly slow, with some predictions showing that single-family homes might only see a 2% increase next year.

The thinking behind the slowdown is pretty logical and largely relates to an increase in housing supply, as well as a softening in job growth as well. As noted…

What's Currently Available at the 1999 McKinney Lofts

Just about every segment of the Dallas area real estate market is trending upward, from rentals and condos to sprawling single-family homes in many of DFW’s most desirable suburbs. In downtown Dallas specifically, things aren’t much different even despite inventory being somewhat limited.

When looking around at what’s currently available in the downtown area, the inventory over at the 1999 McKinney Lofts specifically grabbed our attention, and for good reason. Currently, two of the city’s coolest loft units for sale, at least in our opinion, happen to be located at 1999 McKinney, and three other units in the building are also up for rent, which of course are perfect for anybody not looking to buy right now but still want a sleek and stylish place to…

Sales at Luxury Ltd. Edition 2505 Condo Tower Now Underway

The Dallas area is growing at a faster pace than ever right now and as more jobs and people make their way to the thriving DFW region, the need for more condos has become increasingly evident. Like countless projects in the works out in the DFW suburbs, there’s also several major condo developments being planned for Dallas, starting with the super luxury Ltd. Edition 2505.

Being developed by Toronto-based Great Gulf Homes, the 22-story Ltd. Edition 2505 is one of the more highly-anticipated residential developments coming to market, mainly because it offers a product that many of today’s Dallas home buyers specifically want.

With somewhat of a shortage right now in the new construction condo department, Ltd. Edition 2505 will fill the void for anybody…

A Closer Look at Ltd. Edition 2505, Uptown's Newest Luxury Condo Tower

Many of us got our first look at the luxury new condo tower coming to 2505 Turtle Creek Boulevard all the way back in mid 2014. Being developed by Toronto-based Great Gulf Homes and dubbed Ltd. Edition 2505, it’s hard to argue against the appeal and desirability of this ultra luxurious new condo tower, and when you factor in Dallas’ need for new construction condos right now, there’s almost no doubt Ltd. Edition 2505 will be a huge success for both its developers and those who will be lucky enough to one day call it home.

So what can we expect from Ltd. Edition 2505? Well, although the building isn’t slated to begin construction until 2016, here’s a general idea of what it might entail:

The Basics

When finished, Ltd. Edition 2505 will stand 22…

$1 Billion Mercer Crossing Mixed-Use Development Soon Coming to Farmer's Branch

With the recent acquisition of a 360-acre tract of land, the $1 billion Mercer Crossing mixed-use development in Farmer’s Branch is now just one step closer to becoming a reality that would eventually bring more than 800 single-family homes and townhomes, 180,000 square feet of commercial space, 3,500 apartment residences, and a 48-acre office campus to the area.

The project, which is being developed by Mehrdad Moayedi, isn’t actually official yet, as it’s still going through zoning with the city before construction can begin. Moayedi is certainly no stranger to large-scale developments here in the DFW region with the redevelopment of The Stratler and the finish-out of the Stoneleigh Residences condominium tower both in his portfolio.

According to…
