Sail Your Real Estate Investing Towards Your Dreams

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

– Mark Twain
The underlying message here also in to “take action” get out of your “safe harbor” make mistakes, learn from them and sail towards your dreams. Everybody here is in the same boat.

Texas housing market trending at 2009 levels

Real estate markets nationwide reported steep drops after the
federal homebuyer tax credit expired last year, but Texas sales
continue to track alongside 2009 levels, according to the Texas
Quarterly Housing Report. While the Lone Star State’s
second-quarter sales fell 12% from a year earlier, Texas’ total
sales volume of 58,795 homes was inline with 2009 levels,
suggesting the market is maintaining a steady pace with or
without federal stimulus. “Texas has dominated national
headlines for economic strength, which makes it clear the
recovery continues in our state,” said Jim Gaines, an economist
with the Real Estate Center at Texas A&M University, which
publishes the report. “Given the impact of last year’s tax
credits, I’m not surprised to see fewer sales this quarter
compared to last year,” Gaines said. “If anything, I’m surprised
to see that sales volumes didn’t lag further behind 2010.”

The median sales price in Texas hit $150,400 in the second
quarter, up 1% from a year ago. The average price rose 4.6% to
$201,288, suggesting strength in the high-end market. In both
areas, Texas is an outlier since many other markets have
experienced drops in both average and median price. “The
increase in the average price of Texas homes indicates more
activity among higher priced homes,” Gaines said. “Buyers of
higher priced homes have been less impacted by tightened mortgage
lending standards and real estate has been an attractive
investment vehicle due to instability in other investments, such
as securities.”
