| Dallas, TX Real Estate |
| In the 1980s, Dallas was a real estate
hotbed, with
the metropolitan population skyrocketing and the concurrent demand for
housing and jobs. Several of Downtown Dallas's largest buildings are
the fruit of this boom, but over-speculation and the savings and loan
crisis prevented any further additions to Dallas' skyline. Between the
late 1980s and the early 2000s, central Dallas went through a slow
period of growth and has only recently bounced back. This time, the
real estate market in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex has proven to be
much more resilient than those of most other parts of the United States. |
