Dallas-area July home prices continue to rise. DFW home prices are up 3.2% versus 2011.

National real estate research analysis group CoreLogic reports that Dallas-area homes sold for prices 7.2% higher than a year ago when excluding distressed sales. Distressed sales refer to foreclosed homes or short sales. Short sales occur when a home lender agrees to allow the home owner to sell their home for less than the mortgage balance.
Speaking of foreclosures, filings for residential foreclosures in Dallas-Fort Worth are down 22% versus 2011, with 4,786 filings a year ago versus 3,724 in 2012.
When including all home sales, Dallas home prices were still up 3.8% in July versus a year ago. Standard and Poor's Case-Shiller Home Price Index reported last week that Dallas home prices were up 3.7%.
Available Dallas-Fort Worth homes for sale are at the lowest level in years which is market-favorable for sellers of well-maintained homes in Dallas' best neighborhoods.
