Here is another report by known authorities on the Real Estate Market that shows the strength of the DFW Housing Market compared to other cities across the country.
As stated in the report, “Since the last housing recession here in the early 1990’s, the tax value of homes in the Dallas area have jumped about 70 percent.”
Overall, sampling by The Dallas Morning News shows tax values rising almost 20 percent in the last five years. But the the recent increases differ dramatically by area of town. For example: Some homes in North Dallas have seen a tax value increase by more than 50 percent. However, like in Lake Highlands, they have experienced 10 percent decline in values.
Generally, tax values proposed for 2008 show more increases on the north side of the Dallas area, while values in many neighborhoods south of the river had no increases.
