WR Starkey Mortgage News

Another mixed bag this week as the Gross Domestic Product came in at 2.8% which fell short of the wish-estimate of 3.2%. Add to this the uncertainty in Europe and it’s like we are floating down a river which has rapids. We have to just tread water so we can keep our head up to see what rock is coming at us. Once we get to some smooth water, we can feel comfortable putting our head down and swimming forward with out worrying about crashing into an economic rock that would knock us out.

Anyway…the good news is that because of this the Fed announced again that it will continue to keep rates low. Excellent! Remember what I said last week about buying power. Tell your clients that they have approximately 25% more buying power today than in 2007. What an opportunity!

This week Freddie Mac’s 30 year fixed rate ticked up a bit to 3.98% depending on program, credit and points. Have a great weekend and have your buyers call us so we can get them approved to buy.

DART Light Rail Expansion - Green Line

THE GREEN LINE IS NOW OPEN!!!



Fair Park DART Station.

Homes, condos and town homes for sale near the Fair Park Station.


The first phase of the Green Line is set to open on September 14, 2009 and will run from Victory Station (American Airlines Center) to MLK station and include stops through Downtown, Deep Ellum, Baylor Medical Center and Fair Park. Other stations, to open in December of 2010, will include Downtown Carrollton, Love Field and Buckner (south of Fair Park). The Orange Line will open with Irving stations in 2011 and the DFW International Airport station, also on the Orange Line, is scheduled to open in 2013.


Baylor DART Station.

Homes, condos and town homes for sale near the Baylor Station.


The Baylor Station will serve Baylor University Medical Center and is one of two Deep Ellum stops. Baylor Medical Center opened on this spot over 100 years ago and today has over 6,500 daily commuters. Baylor encourages employees to take DART. They even offer DART passes for those who are willing to give up a parking space in exchange for the DART pass. Not only is Baylor actively making people healthier with treatment options, they are contributing to everyone's health by encouraging employees to take DART. Employees who take DART are not spending hours in idling traffic pumping hazardous chemicals into the air we all breathe. They’ll also enjoy the reduced stress that comes from not starting every morning worrying if the traffic jam will make them late for work again.


Deep Ellum DART Station.

Homes, condos and town homes for sale near the Deep Ellum Station.

Deep Ellum's Traveling Man

DART's Traveling Man at the Deep Ellum Station.


Deep Ellum has a long history of arts and entertainment in Dallas. The Deep Ellum Station is located at the intersection of Gaston and Good Latimer where the old tunnel used to be. The tunnel was removed in 2007 to make the grade level enough for the DART trains to operate. You can read more about Deep Ellum here.


Downtown DART Stations can be found here.



Victory Station DART Station

Homes, condos and town homes for sale near the Victory Station in Uptown.


The last stop (for phase 1) on the Green Line will be Victory Station next to Victory Park and the American Airlines Center. Or it could be the first stop, depending on your point of origin. Currently DART runs special trains marked “DART” between Victory Station and the West End Station during special events. From there passengers can change to the Red or Blue Lines to reach their destination. Many people already avoid the traffic nightmare after a Mavs game or special concert event by taking DART! Soon it will be a full time station on the Green Line.

In addition to DART’s special trains, the Trinity Railway Express (TRE) also stops at this station for special events like concerts or games. Check the TRE's special operating schedule. Remember, there is NO TRE service on Sundays but DART trains operate daily.

You can read the April 11th DART update here and follow the next link to see the DART rail expansion maps.
