But I understand why the source Wick quoted would "phrase" it that way. They are the realtors association. I heard a great speech a few years ago about housing by one the big shots at the Dallas Fed. He said in his 25 years of working at the Fed, anecdotal residential stories (prices) told him much more and were more accurate than housing statistics.....So let's ask ourselves, anecdotally, have condo prices risen or fallen? Answer: Is it even close. “median” condo prices rising means little; or better yet, next to nothing. But I understand why the source Wick quoted would “phrase” it that way.

One exception is a price drop over at the Palomar...which, frankly, needed to happen. I have purchased two condos in Dallas and still happily living in one of them on Turtle Creek. Due to my RE license I receive emails on condo and townhome listings on a weekly basis so I can keep abreast of what's going on with the values. So far so good.

I just had an appraisal done for a refi, and it appraised 20K less than it did 2 years ago when I bought it. My condo value sure hasn’t gone up.

Must ask Dallas Dirt readers... like I said, take that minus 2.7 percent to the Appraisal District!
