Dallas, TX (PRWEB) December 29, 2014 -- The Dallas real estate market had a banner year in 2014, which has helped to propel conditions into a much better place at the end of the year than they were at the start. Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices PenFed Realty Texas reports that the city had a successful year with significant increases in median home values and it’s one of the top markets to watch in 2015.
According to a December 4 report on REALTOR.com, Dallas was named within the top 10 markets to watch in 2015 for its household growth and volume of home sales. Home construction is expected to increase helping to ease the crunch of available homes, which was a factor that slowed the market in 2014. With it’s fairly affordable housing market and prosperous employment market, Dallas is sure to continue to attract home buyers.
Going into the start of the year, the amount of available homes is around the same as of December 12 as it was at the end of December 2013, according to Altos Research, a California-based real estate analytics company. As of December 12 there were about 2,227 available properties in Dallas and there were just slightly more on the market around the same time last year.
One big shift year-over-year was the median single-family home value, which increased from about $325,000 in 2013 to $378,133 in 2014. This figure has flatlined in the past few months since October after the major demand for homes in the area began to dip as the market cooled.
“I expect the real estate market in Dallas to continue to succeed, and likely do even better in 2015. More homes are being built, more companies are transferring to the Dallas-Fort Worth area and this community’s desirability is becoming more widely known,” says DD Flynn VP of Marketing at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices PenFed Realty Texas. “I’m really excited to see what’s in store for this region of Texas in the next 12 months.”
