After 6 months of continual decline, homes sale went up in February. My office and title company have seen more closing in January and February 2008 than in 2007. While parts of the county have suffered greatly, Dallas has barely felt the pinch, and the new FHA guidelines should make it easier to get a loan. The FHA limit increase from $204K to $271K. For DFW, this loan amount includes many nice homes in good neighborhoods. All this points to us having a great Spring and Summer in the Metroplex area.
