As most readers of my blog know by now, I love to use charts and graphs to present information about changes in the housing market.  The data in the tables below are excerpted from the Texas Real Estate Center at Texas A&M University. The subject of this blog highlights some of the various impacts to the different property types in North Texas October 2008.  Probably the most interesting information from this chart is that pending sales of rental properties are up by 19% compared with a year ago.  Also, new listings and active listings are up by 16% for the same property type from a year ago.  It probably is no secret that the market for most property types has declined from the same time a year ago.  However, the broadest adverse impact is on Single Family homes as they are down just slightly more than 1/3.  However, area 109 (covers a large area around Eagle Mountain Lake) is doing comparatively well constrasted against the same data for all of North Texas.
