dfw homes

[Craizie]

Ya bro. I lived in Desoto and graduated there. My wife grew up and graduated from Duncanville. They were both OK up until the 90s when it got dark. Screw either.

Remember going to my house when I was in Red Oak? That area is starting to turn downhill as well. My little cousin just graduated from there this week. If it wasn't for the fact that she was in district the whole time and salutatorian, she would have been somewhere else by now.

We are in Waxahachie at the moment and thinking of going south. Midlothian is fine for the moment, but I see it becoming a Desoto/Cedar Hill soon.

I was in high school in the early 2000's there. it was like 60/20/20 while I was there. 60 black 20 hispanic 20 white and other.

its not an issue.

Where in the dfw are you working?

I work in Switzerland via remote.

I believe I understand what you're saying, foreign money coming in and the employees that are getting that money are spending it. Once those Pied Pipers start to fail or the money starts to slow, competition will go down for home buying.

not foreign companies, but pure investment capital... rates are dirt cheap and property is a fairly safe investment in the grand scheme of things. They don't mind "overpaying" because they can just rent the shit out and cover a good amount of the note if not all of it.

and in the long run, it's going to at least protect against inflation

Ya, it's just spreading. I'm running to the country. I do love waxahachie, though. Cool historic downtown with a lively entertainment schedule most of the year. No smoking anywhere, basically. Trashy people are only in certain areas.

Foreign individual investors, investment funds etc. You add that to historically low rates and a lot of people here who are feeling the wealth effect of a pumped up stock market and the result is a whole lot of people who want to buy. We see a lot of this same effect on the commercial side too. We have been selling the shit out of everything, anything that can be sold is getting sold. I sold $140M of shit just this week for this reason, some of it was at prices that made me have to laugh.

In the last couple of weeks the 10yr treasury has added a solid 40 bps. most residential lending bases its rates on the 10 yr. Every full point rise in rates will shave around 10-12% off the topline price of a house because, based on the average price of a house that point increase in rates increases the monthly payment about $75 a month. Your payment isn't going to change unless you plug in a higher down payment but if you are going to pay it off over time, it is going to make a huge difference in what you pay down.

That's not the bad part of Arlington or even Grand Prairie. The neighborhoods and junior highs that feed into Bowie aren't nearly as bad as Sam Houston, or really even Arlington High these days. Not as "nice" as Martin or Lamar, but at the end of the day, those are still in Arlington.

We live in south GP and it's not bad at all. That being said, the entire metroplex is getting too busy with the influx of population, and we would like to say adios and move to Fredericksburg.

If you like heavy traffic pick Dallas.

You can find what you want in your price range in Sanger.

I like this area, but 35w is under construction and the traffic in general is terrible.

[Cooter]

if I worked remote, the DFW metroplex is one of the last places I'd choose to hub

no offense to my good friends/family that still live there

I tend to agree, but serious talks of having a baby makes me want to be closer to home/family, and I have a feeling that's in play here.

Little elm, frisco, savannah, union park, Aubrey, oak point any other neighborhood out on that 380 fiasco is a fucking disaster.
