    Good article... We're still in a strong seller's market in north Texas, but, in Tarrant County, we're exactly where we should be in a seller's market like this.  The oil market is struggling, but we still have a very strong, diverse economy overall, and the rest of the US knows it.  Our political leanings aren't perfect, but they're generally favorable to business, so that bodes well for us as well.

    If and when the Fed raises interest rates, our Real Estate market may decline slowly, but, as always, I predict it won't decline nearly as drastically as in other parts of the nation or even other parts of Texas.

    Barring a black swan of some kind, I predict our north Texas Real Estate market will continue to be one of the most stable in the country.

    I agree we will see a decline in home values but do not think we will be hit as hard as other parts of the country. Mainly because of our population growth will continue to create a strong housing demand. See the article below. Fort Worth is just an awesome city all around for investing.

    Thanks for the article Ben.  I was always a bit partial to the FW lifestyle, and it looks like there are many others who will vote with their feet :)

    The significant and increasing presence of the technology and medical industries will also support demand growth for DFW real estate as both young and not-as-young people are attracted to this area for economic and personal reasons.  I am planning to be cautious and prudent in my business, yet remaining bullish overall.
