According to The Case-Shiller researchers, House sale Dallas prices in the index are still down almost 9 percent from the peak in mid-2007. Case-Shiller surveys the prices of typical single-family homes in 20 metropolitan areas. The index does not include condominiums and townhouses.

North Texas pre-owned home sales were up 9 percent in the first four months of 2010 from the same period last year.
Dr. James Gaines, an economist for the Real Estate Center at Texas A& M University said that the problem is that most of the improvements in the real estate for sale Dallas ? sales, values, general activity are government-induced.

Now that the federal tax credit has expired, most analysts anticipate residential sales will cool off. In fact, pending home sales are down 23 percent in North Texas, indicating a slower sales pace ahead.
