"Dallas-area homebuyers to scramble this spring" DMN reports

[Jessica G.]

This is so weird. Exactly three years ago, we almost couldn't GIVE our starter home away, which is what led us to become landlords. We just literally couldn't afford to bring a check that big to closing. I thought it would take another 10 years for that house to be worth what we paid for it in 2006. Is this another bubble, or just a very vigorous correction? I do know Dallas wasn't hit nearly as hard as some other parts of the country by the recession, but watching our biggest asset bottom out sure hurt.
