What $250,000 Will Buy You

A quarter of a million dollars may not stretch as far as it used to. But it certainly goes further when you’re buying a house in, say, Frisco, than if you’re planning to settle down in Preston Hollow. And, with all the rumors ci
By Dawn McMullen |

Thinking about a new home? Upgrading to four bedrooms? Here’s an idea of what you can afford in 27 Dallas neighborhoods.

Mike Shurtleff was standing on a ladder, painting a ceiling, when he realized he just couldn’t do it anymore. For years, he’d been remodeling homes around Dallas, making cabinets, sanding wooden floors, grouting kitchen countertops. He was 39, and his back hurt. His neck was even worse. • So in the fall of 2000, he finally took the advice of his neighbor, who was a Realtor. Shurtleff switched careers. • “It was definitely a seller’s market,” says Shurtleff, now an agent with Re/Max Abrams. “There were people fighting over houses, bidding wars, houses selling for above the asking price. There weren’t enough houses to go around.” • Back then, Realtors searched listings daily—sometimes hourly—in hopes of finding a new house that just went on the market. Houses sold before the signs even went into their yards. A home without a contract on it was a rare find indeed. Shurtleff and his fiancée even got caught up in the frenzy, buying one of his Richardson listings as their starter home. • That was then. Shurtleff is now working in a radically different market. In the little more than two years since he became a Realtor, Shurtleff seen a swing from one end of the spectrum to the other. We are now in a buyer’s market the likes of which no Realtor has ever seen, with a historically unique set of economic forces that has changed the way Shurtleff does his job—and the way you will buy or sell your next house.

This really is a story of two hands. On one hand, we’re experiencing the highest unemployment rates we’ve seen in a decade. People looking for work usually don’t look to buy houses. On the other hand, though, interest rates are at a 40-year low. So apartment dwellers can hardly pass up the opportunity to borrow money to buy that first house.

On one hand, the stock market seems to have abandoned the “irrational exuberance” that many of us so enjoyed. As of press time, the crawl on MSNBC was an endless procession of red, downward-pointing triangles. This would suggest that potential buyers of expensive houses might hold their money tightly until their triangles turn green again. On the other hand, they might dump all their money into real estate, perhaps the safest investment at the moment.

The end result of these various pressures on the real estate market is that Realtors are busier than ever. Busy, but they are doing business differently.

“Now I send people a list of maybe 10 or 15 homes in Richardson,” Shurtleff says. “If they’re looking in Frisco or Plano, that list may be 30 homes, because there are tons for sale up there.”

Shurtleff faxes or e-mails photos and descriptions of the houses that fit his clients’ wish lists. There is no way he could make a living if he spent an entire day or two driving an interested buyer around and delivering her to the doorsteps of the 30 houses she might fancy. “When I started in real estate, there weren’t even 30 houses to look at,” he says.

Despite the change, though, Shurtleff and other Realtors say that 2003 has begun well for them. The real estate market isn’t bad—just different. Nationwide, home sales were up 5 percent in 2002 compared with 2001. In the Dallas area, however, sales were down 1 percent, although certain segments of the market were up.

“Nationally, I think real estate is holding up the economy,” says Michael Campbell, president of the Greater Dallas Association of Realtors and an agent with Ellen Terry Realtors. “I don’t watch every neighborhood, but I live and work in Lakewood. There, if the houses are priced correctly, and if they’re good, quality products, they’re selling very quickly. If sellers are trying to test the tops of the market, I think they’re being disappointed.”

Realtors agree that most of the action is in lower-end homes, where first-time buyers are moving. Although the multimillion-dollar homes are still selling, they are selling slower than wool long johns in a parking lot in August. Those who are buying are doing so for the investment.

“Real estate is real, especially when compared with stock certificates whose worth can be zero,” says Martha Morguloff, an agent with Ebby Halliday Realtors. “Dirt doesn’t just dissolve.”

So what’s hot in this choosy yet stable buyer’s market? Anything architecturally interesting, renovated, unique, Mediterranean, and modern (for the first time since most people can remember). David Bush, an agent with Coldwell Banker, advises his selling clients to make their home look perfect. Not just pretty good. Perfect. No one wants to buy a fixer-upper.

“Why would they want to get a home-improvement loan when they could just wrap it in an interest-rate payment of 4.5 to 6 percent?” Bush asks. “It’s almost free money.”

What’s sitting on the MLS like a bad hangover? Fixer-uppers, copycat homes, homes that people can find a reason to walk away from, be it an awful paint job or badly landscaped lot. As for specific locations, these are the hot spots in local real estate:

EAST DALLAS: Lakewood, Munger Place, Swiss Avenue, M Streets, Hollywood Heights—all these little niches of Dallas as it used to be are still big sellers. The older, historic market is limited here, and anything in short supply is hot. The area around White Rock Lake—which is pricey but still hasn’t seen appreciation levels like those in Devonshire or the M Streets—will be the next hot spot. Forest Hills and Little Forest Hills are tremendous buys, but they probably won’t be for long.

TURTLE CREEK CORRIDOR: Prices are still going up along Turtle Creek Boulevard and the Katy Trail. Again, the houses here are in limited supply, they’re architecturally interesting, and it’s a great location.

PRESTON HOLLOW AND PARK CITIES: Homes here are holding their values. Homes in the $4 million range are sitting on the market for a while but selling eventually to a cautious yet still large pool of high-end buyers.

FRISCO AND PROSPER: People keep moving north, where they can find newer homes, better prices, and commute times just a few minutes longer. Just like in Plano a decade ago, people here have the choice of an older home or new construction.

MIDLOTHIAN AND CEDAR HILL: Not all the space is north. More than a few homeowners are headed south in quest of new construction and more land.

KELLER, NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, WESTLAKE: They’re also headed west in search of wide-open spaces. Hidden Hills in Keller is a big seller these days. You might not have heard of Westlake, but you will. Glenwick Farms is a growing area in this town of cattle pastures, native trees, and rolling hills. Homes here start at about $900,000.

The local low spots? Depends on whom you ask. “We’re seeing real heartache in the Telecom Corridor, Richardson, Plano, Allen, and McKinney,” Campbell says. “These areas seem to be overbuilt and have lots of people who were ripped out of their jobs. The foreclosure rate shot up, and I don’t expect that to stop anytime soon. The $1.2 million to $1.5 million spec market is saturated. Preston Hollow, Park Cities, all of that. We’ve got a year or maybe two years of inventory on the ground.”

Southlake and Colleyville, while still doing well, have taken a hit because as many as 70 percent of new home buys there are from relocations, Realtors estimate. And companies strapped for money aren’t relocating executives these days.

Overall, though, local real estate is one of the better industries to be a part of in these economic times. “It’s not easy money anymore,” Shurtleff says. “But even with the changing market, I’ve never wanted to get out of it. The best thing is getting somebody in their first home or seeing somebody get into a home they’re just pumped about. Not only do you make somebody happy, but you also get a check.”
