Hi, I’m Emily Oster. I’m the publisher and founder of daltxrealestate.com, the largest real estate blog and the only one in North Texas.

So, you’re moving to North Texas?

What do you need to know about our market? Omg, it’s very, very hot.

We’ve got like a 3-month supply on the market. It’s important to have a real estate agent since you may need to find a home before it’s listed for sale. That’s called off-market listings. A lot of times, people just test the waters. Make sure you find a reliable real estate agent. Look for a dedicated agent who is well-connected and works very hard for you. I suggest you interview at least five to start with.

You will find that we have a lot of great neighborhoods here. Our housing market is super affordable.

Now the average home price is inching closer to $200.000. I used to say it was $180,000. We’re getting more expensive, but we’re still super affordable when you compare us to other markets in the United States.

And the last thing you’ll need to know is…

We have a lot of bugs and a lot of critters.

Again, I’m Emily Oster. Guess what? All this information and more is available every single day on my blog, daltxrealestate.com.
