December Greetings!

As the year winds down I want to thank each of you for making this a GREAT YEAR for the O’Reilly Home Team.
As of this writing we have sold over 9.5 million dollars in real estate, and we should hit $10 million by December 31st. Inspired by the people we serve, in January 2016 we committed to donating a portion of our commission back to charitable organizations. So far, in 2017, we’ve partnered with Mercy Street to host an appreciation lunch for the great teachers at Thomas Edison Middle School, partnered with Radio South Sudan to build radio stations there, and we’ve given our time and money to Many Helping Hands in Irving to help the poor and homeless. Over $8000 donated!
We could not do this if it wasn’t for you, our community.
Thank you for working with us, and let’s keep serving together.


      How about the DFW Real Estate Market in 2018?
Next year will  be HOT again… and not just the weather. Our Dallas-Fort Worth area is expected to be one of the top home markets in the country next year, (Realtor.com’s just-released projections). In fact, the report predicts that only Las Vegas will have a stronger home market in 2018.
The D-FW area is forecast to see about a 6% increase in home sales and a 5.57% hike in median home prices in the year ahead. That's twice the national growth rate for sales and prices with realtor.com’s predictions! This year, sales went up 7%, and it will continue to be a seller’s market working with low inventory. It’s little fun for the buyer, but waiting will cost you more money. For instance, a 200,000 home today cost $14,000 more than in December 2016 and it’s projected to go up another $12000 by Dec 2018. So, though it may not seem like much fun, even now is a good time to invest and buy a home. Just know the OHT will try to make it as fun as legally possible! Tell your friends and family to call us and check on the options for buying right now.
Merry Christmas! God bless us each and every one!!
