Office space in Dallas, TexasAlthough the Dallas office space market isn’t quite thundering ahead, it is making slow gains, and that’s very good news for the Dallas economy. Experts anticipate that 2012 will be a year of slow recovery for the Dallas office space market, as demand continues to grow and the supply remains small.

Business Relocation Up, Vacancy Goes Down

Although vacancy is still quite high, it is important to note that it, too, is, on a downward course. Rents continue to show small gains, and business relocation activity is starting to show good signs, as well.

But perhaps the best sign that the Dallas office space market is headed in the right…

Luxury HomesIt looks as if the National Association of Realtors (NAR) has some positive news to share: Existing home sales are predicted to increase 7 to 10 percent in 2012, which will be the highest level in five years. The NAR made this prediction after experiencing an “uneven but higher sales pattern” the first few months of this year.

The NAR predicts that existing home sales will total 4.65 million in 2012; that’s an increase of 9.1 percent from 2011.
