what has reached a level we haven’t seen in four years?? North Texas home sales, that’s what! this past May real estate agents sold 7,618 pre-owned single-family homes which is 22% MORE than in May 2011, according to North Texas Real Estate Information Systems Inc. that’s not all – year-to-date home sales are UP 16% compared to the first 5 months of 2011.
**please take note that this surge in home sales is withOUT any special government programs, slightly tougher underwriting guidelines, slightly increased down payments – and every other ‘sky is falling’ headline the doom and gloom media has blasted us with over the last year**
