Far North Dallas continues to be one of the few bright spots. Sales were up 14% in March. The average sales price increased by 6% while the median sales price  was up by 9%. The larger homes are still bucking the trend and especially those above $400,000. The number of new listings declined by 9% but the number of active listings climbed by 3%. We still have an over supply with the months of inventory standing at 7.7 months. There was a drop of 13% in the pending sales numbers so we will have to watch for a potential drop in sales next month. Leasing activity remains strong as a number of people are renting instead of buying. In March average rents increased by 4% to $1706. Renters do not have much to choose from with only a 2.3 months supply on the market. Sales: 75 Average Sales Price...
