About the DeSoto, Cedar Hill, Midlothian and Mansfield Real Estate Market  As a reflection of the healthy economy in the Dallas region, many families are continuing to relocate and call Dallas home. The month of August showed a six percent rise in home sales, which marks the third consecutive month of consistent growth. Home sales in the Dallas area are up one percent this year compared with the same period of time last year. The North Texas Real Estate Information Systems registered 6,935 homes sold in August. Median home price increased by 6 percent last month to approximately $145,000. As the summer winds down, prices are beginning to stabilize while inventory remains high, making it an attractive environment for those who are ready to buy. Prices on high dollar properties are being reduced while the interest rate continues to motivate many potential buyers to take the plunge. Market trends continue their upward momentum. In addition, developers are providing attractive incentives in the form of neighborhood amenities that further sweeten the deal. Planned communities with golf and tennis facilities, lakes and parks, and recreational centers are successfully romancing new buyers. Both residential and commercial development continues to thrive and with new home construction still at a rise, the buyer has a distinct advantage. Dallas continues to enjoy its reputation as being one of the best cities in which to live and work, and it is this reputation that keeps the market strong and steady.

Accepting An Offer >Clean Offers
You have found a house that makes your heart skip a beat--it is in the right location and has all the amenities you want. The price is the only thing that is keeping you from making an offer, because you feel that it is more than you can afford. How can you maximize the possibility that the owners will accept an offer that is much lower than their asking price?
The first thing you should do is to make the offer as "clean" as possible by not asking for special contingencies. Avoid making demands on the sellers for minor repairs, such as cutting down the dead tree in the back yard or leaving custom drapes. Be as flexible as possible about scheduling the move-in date to accommodate the seller's plans. Finally, you can offer a larger-than-usual deposit to persuade the sellers that you are a serious buyer and to make it harder for them to "just say no". Each situation is different, but the "cleaner" the offer, the more likely the sellers are to accept it.
