Buyers

Lou Hillman, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Realtors

“In my over 40 years as a real estate broker I have never seen a stronger demand for homes in the Dallas-Fort Worth market.  Unfortunately this has led to frustration as buyers face competing with multiple offers on homes. Buyers need a seasoned Realtor to navigate this process. Be patient, but also recognize that many homes today are selling above list price. Past experience leads me to believe we are entering another period of prolonged double-digit price increases, so the home many feel is overpriced today will emerge as a bargain in a few years. I bought my first home on Lake Grapevine in 1965 for $8,750. It sold for $155,000 in the mid-90s and would probably sell for double that amount today.”

“Want top money for your property? Now is the time to make your move. It is almost like playing poker deciding whether you hold in your current position, fold or go all-in. Now is the time to go all-in as the demand is high, and the supply is low. The job growth rate here in DFW puts us in the top 10 cities in the U.S., bringing in new buyers to our marketplace every day. All-in?”
