Frequently asked questions.

Dallas in 36 Hours - NYTimes

According to the Travel Section of the New York Times, here's what to do in Dallas if you've only got 36 hours. Although a little bit of a slap in the face at first, it does have some great links for things to see and do in the Big D.

Surge in First Time Home Buyers

The NAR and HouseHunt, Inc. reported first time home buyers make up 41% - 50% of the buyers on the market today! It's no wonder. First time home buyers do not have a home to sell before they purchase. Apartment complexes are averaging 92% occupancy. Lease rates are high (which are the normal economics of a buyer's market) and mortgage rates are at historic lows.

The information was released at the 2008 NAR convention in Orlando. Read the entire NAR press release here.
