For many years the only housing option available for people looking to live in Southlake was single-fam-ily homes. However, in Southlake

Town Square, there are now brown-stones available for purchase as well as condominiums that are being con-structed. The brownstones were built in two phases with the first phase coming online in 2006 and the second

STORY ON PAGE 12

Officials with the Tarrant Appraisal District said as a result of several companies relocating their headquarters from California to Texas or expanding their operations to the Lone Star State, residents in Tarrant County are seeing a surge in their property appraisals, causing an uptick in their property tax bills. Here are some of the companies that have relocated or expanded to the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex:

Local Realtors said they often find people choose to live in Grapevine, Colleyville and Southlake because of its close proximity to the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport.

Realtors also attribute the two school districts—Carroll and Grapevine-Colleyville ISDs—as reasons why people move to Grapevine, Colleyville and Southlake.

If you’re anything like me, you’ve been wondering how much your home’s prop-erty value has increased over the past few years, and if you were to sell your home, would you be able to find another home in the same area? I have these conversa-tions with my husband often, and I hear about it from friends in the community almost daily.

These questions, among many others, have us wondering if the market will only get hotter, so our editor took the time to reach out to local real estate professionals to guide us through these questions and give us a road map for what we should expect (see pages 12 and

13). We’ve also loaded this issue with what we hope will be useful content, including short stories highlighting news and trends (see pages 14 and 15) in the local real estate sector.

For many of us, our homes are perhaps the most important financial investment we might ever make, and as your hyperlocal news outlet, we want to arm you with information as you con-tinue to make these big investments.

I hope you enjoy this edition of our paper, and if you have any feedback on our real estate coverage or any other news we cover, feel free to email me at [email protected].

Almost all property owners in Tarrant County will pay taxes to at least five local taxing units: the county; the county college district, Tarrant County College; the county hospital district, John Peter Smith Health Network; a city; and a school district.

Some residents will also pay taxes to the Tarrant Water District and/or the emergency services district that provides emergency service to residents in unin-corporated areas of the county.

With the exception of the cities of Grapevine and Colleyville and Grapevine-Colleyville ISD, property taxes for all taxing entities wholly within Tarrant County are collected by the county tax assessor-col-lector through contract.

The governing bodies of the local taxing entities, such as school boards and city councils, publish their tax rates every August.

The county tax assessor-collector will then apply the tax rates adopted by the taxing units to a resident’s home appraisal value and send out tax statements in October of each year.

SOUTHLAKE


CITY & SCHOOL

Plans emerge for The Village at Carillon Parc, a proposed mixed-use development in Southlake

Grapevine residents to ultimately decide fate of possible Heritage Ave. bridge

Colleyville P&Z denies RaceTrac gas station

SOUTHLAKE Developers on June 28 gave Southlake officials and residents a first look at the proposed plans for The Village at Carillon Parc, which

sits on 42 acres between North White Chapel Boulevard and Carroll Avenue on SH 114. The development team, lead by former Southlake mayor John Terrell, gave a presentation on the development. Terrell said the devel-opment will have a European feel and offer chef-driven restaurants, a possible culinary school, health and medical uses, a park and an amphi-theater.

Terrell made it clear in his presen-tation that The Village at Carillon Parc would offer residents some-thing different from Southlake Town Square in terms of retail, restaurants, and its overall look and feel. Ter-rell said the development will not contain the large chain stores that Town Square has; instead it will offer unique boutique stores.

If approved, the city’s library will move from the basement of Town Hall to the development.

GRAPEVINE Among the items up for consideration on the Grapevine City Council’s agenda June 20 was the removal of the construction of a Heritage Avenue bridge from the list of proposed bond projects.

Prior to the council considering removal of the project, it heard from several residents: some who were for the project and some who were not.

Several residents said they were against the bridge as it would negatively impact Parr Park and the surrounding neighborhoods. Others

were in favor of the bridge as they said it would shorten commute time and improve emergency responders’ response time. Ultimately, the council decided not to remove the bridge from the list of proposed bond projects.

Members decided to hold a public hearing July 17 to discuss and inform residents on potential bond projects.

The public meeting will be held at the Grapevine Convention Center, 1209 S. Main St., Grapevine.

Doors open at 6 p.m., and the hear-ing starts at 6:30 p.m.

COLLEYVILLE At the June 12 meeting of the planning and zoning commis-sion, two special-use permits sought by RaceTrac were denied.

The first permit was for a conve-nience store with gasoline sales at 7015 Colleyville Blvd., near Bear Creek Spirits & Wine, and the other was for alcoholic beverage sales of beer and wine only for off-premises consumption.

The commission noted that a gas station is not consistent with the vision that the city’s comprehensive plan has for that property.

Specifically, the vision calls for quality retail and restaurant uses that generate sales tax.

Although the gas station would have retail and food components, commissioners felt the property was intended for higher-quality uses.

The permits are expected to come before City Council on July 18.

First Financial BankRyan Wall, Executive Vice President, Consumer Lending

First Financial Bank is proud to offer Bridge loans and Temporary financing for single family residential purchases. This approach to financing allows for customers to take advantage of timing opportunities and fill the gap when traditional financing options are not available. Loan decisions are made locally and we can accommodate quick closing requirements.

Strict permanent mortgage guidelines have created problems for customers in an extremely hot real estate market. Customers want to secure a new home, move and then sell their old home and sellers typically won’t accept contingent offers. Because of that, buyers either need the equity from their current home OR they need to eliminate that monthly house payment out of their qualifying ratios to obtain conventional financing. According to EVP of Lending, Ryan Wall, “some of our best customers have had road-blocks attempting to qualify for conventional financing. These customers who have done all the right things - have excellent credit, significant equity, substantial cash on hand but still can’t get traditional financing. We listen to the customer to understand the situation and their needs and then craft a loan solution to satisfy that need. The goal is to help the customer secure their new home, monitor the transaction until the old home is sold and then help the customer secure permanent financing. That approach is a win/win situa-tion for everybody.”

The real estate market in Grapevine, Colleyville and Southlake has rebounded from the recession in 2008 with the median prices of homes sold increasing each year since 2012.

Tarrant Appraisal District official: Transplants moving to Metroplex area a cause of rising residential values

Recent home sales spur increase in property appraisals

BY SHERELLE BLACK

Homeowners in Grapevine, Col-leyville and Southlake are seeing increased home values in their annual appraisals this year. This is not the first time, however, that area homeowners have experienced higher valuations.

Since 2015 the total appraised value of homes in Colleyville has increased by approximately 24 percent and by 25 percent in Grapevine and 26 per-cent in Southlake, according to data from Tarrant Appraisal District.

Ted Wilson, principal at Residen-tial Strategies, a residential real estate market research company based in Dallas, said a typical hous-ing market sees a 1-2 percent annual price increase.

Realtor Jen Blackwood with Black-wood Real Estate Advisors said the increase in home values is causing an unbearable load for some homeown-ers, causing more protests.

“Property taxes are a big prob-lem for people because the values are going up so high every year that it’s pricing some people out of their home,” she said. “I know some people’s values have gone up

$3,000-$4,000 a year, and that’s a lot. I know some elderly people who have their houses paid off but can’t afford their property taxes because they live on a fixed income.”

An increase in home values across Tarrant County has caused an uptick in the amount of homeowners filing appraisal protests.

TAD administrator Mary McCoy said as of July 7 there had been 113,000 protests filed, which is a 6.6 percent increase from last year.

Although the appraisal protest can take a significant amount of time, Realtor Alisa Runge with Berkshire Hathaway said she believes it was worth the time this year.

“People have to remember: If you don’t protest this year, that appraisal value sticks, and there is no going back; it will only continue to get higher,” she said. There’s also no negative impact. Even if you pro-tested and they found it was worth more than that what they originally appraised, they aren’t going to go in and bill you at the higher rate.”

Runge said the TAD can only bill homeowners up to 10 percent of the change in value year-over-year.

“If a homeowner had a 30 percent increase, TAD would only be able to tax you on the first 10 percent,” she said. “It doesn’t mean they aren’t going to try and catch up that 30 per-cent in value, but it might take them five years before they can catch that up.”

WHY THE INCREASE?

TAD Residential Appraiser Dan-ielle Goldsmith said the number of people moving to Tarrant County is the reason why home values con-tinue to increase. Goldsmith said TAD appraises homes based on the prices of recent home sales.

“The market is determined by what properties are selling for,” she said. “And there are a lot of people coming from other states, such as California and Georgia, that are buying proper-ties over the actual listing price, and that is the reason why market values are going up.”

Goldsmith said, for example, a home that was built in 1985 may be listed for $200,000, but it may receive an offer for $230,000.

“Once they close on that property they have just made that property worth $230,000, so that lets us know that even though it was built in 1985, people are out here willing to pay $230,000 for a 1985 home,” she said.

Goldsmith said TAD is required by Texas law to appraise homes at 100 percent of market value.

With companies such as Kubota Tractor Corp. moving their headquar-ters from California to Grapevine, and Toyota Motor Corp. moving to Plano, real estate agents said they are seeing an increase in the number of out-of-towners who are able to do cash buys or pay more than the listing price.

“The cost of living is different there,” Goldsmith said. “So they are coming here where the cost of living is cheaper, so they don’t mind going into bidding wars and going over the listing price. But they don’t realize once they do that you have just con-tributed to driving the market up.”

Wilson said since 2011 the Dal-las-Fort Worth area has seen “an incredible influx” of jobs—to the tune of 600,000 positions—which has put an increasing strain on the market.

According to the January 2017 Texas Relocation Report, the total number of people moving to Texas from out of state in 2015 increased 2.8 percent year over year to 553,032 people.

The highest number of people moving to Texas in 2015 came from California with 65,546 people, fol-lowed by Florida with 33,670 people and Louisiana with 31,044 people,

HOW DOES TARRANT COUNTYAPPRAISE YOUR HOUSE?

WHAT ARE APPRAISERS LOOKING FOR?

A home appraisal is an evaluation of the cash value of a house and proper-ty. Instead of going out to individual homes to appraise them, the Tarrant Appraisal District uses mass-appraisal techniques to value over 570,000 residential properties. During the mass-appraisal process, appraisers look at a list of “comps” that are comparable houses in the same neighborhood that have been sold recently. The appraiser then compares the comps to the resident’s property and adjusts accordingly.

according to the report.However, it is not only out-of-state

residents who are contributing to the growth. The report states when it comes to people moving to the DFW Metroplex, people moving from Hous-ton and Austin account for the largest amount of new residents. Houston had a total of 13,852 people move to the Metroplex, and Austin had 9,013 people move to DFW in 2015.

However, the influx of Califor-nia residents has helped create and maintain the seller’s market the area is experiencing, according to realtors.

Blackwood said everyone is won-dering if the real estate market is in a bubble and will experience a simi-lar downturn that it took during the Great Recession.

“Right now, no one is forecasting a bubble,” she said. “We are not going to have the same peak and valley like before, but it is going to level off some.”

THE ATTRACTION TO THE AREA

Blackwood said there are two major draws to the Grapevine, Colleyville and Southlake areas—proximity to the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport and quality school districts.

“Dallas-Fort Worth really is becom-ing this huge hub for businesses,” she said. “So a lot of businesses from the West Coast and the East Coast are coming and meeting in the

middle. And Grapevine/Colleyville/Southlake is in a great location in the Metroplex, especially since it’s so close to the airport.”

Carroll ISD and Grapevine-Col-leyville ISD, with better-than-average state and national test scores and high graduation rates—are also rea-sons why people move to the cities.

“People specifically move here because they love the schools; they love the sports,” she said.

ISSUE OF AFFORDABILITY

Six years ago, at any given time, there were about 25,000 homes on the market for less than $200,000 in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. That number has shrunk to less than 5,000 today, Wilson said.

Because buyers are entering bid-ding wars and homes are selling for more than the listed price, Black-wood said it is becoming harder to find a home that is $300,000 or less in the area.

“Since 2013 we have seen an 84 percent decrease in single-family properties available in Southlake for under $300,000, and in Colleyville, a 75 percent decrease,” she said.

In the Dallas-Fort Worth area the median monthly rent cost for a home is $1,695, which is higher than the Texas median of $1,500, according to Zillow.

However, the median cost of home rentals in Grapevine, Colleyville and Southlake surpassed both DFW’s and the state’s median rental prices this year with the median monthly lease amount at $3,911 in Southlake, $2,439 in Colleyville and $2,116 in Grapevine.

For those looking to rent an apartment in Grapevine, as Colleyville and Southlake have no apartments, the average rental price continues to increase as well.

In the Dallas area, the fair market rent

for a two-bedroom apartment is $1,031, according to the National Low Income Housing Coalition. In order to afford this level of rent and utilities—without paying more than 30 percent of income on housing—a household must earn $3,437 monthly or $41,240 annually.

Assuming a 40-hour work week, 52 weeks per year, this level of income translates into a wage of $19.83 per hour.

However, in Grapevine, apartment rental rates are much higher than the fair market rent with most two-bedroom apartments starting at $1,500 or higher.

For example, in early July, the cost of the smallest two-bedroom apartment at Camden Riverwalk was $1,719.

2 RENTALS NOT A CHEAP OPTION

in 2014.The brownstones and condos offer

spacious floor plans, top-of-the-line appliances and garages. The starting price for a condominium is $735,000, and prices start at $1.385 million for a brownstone. Although the brown-stones and condominiums were met with some skepticism initially by res-idents concerned with higher-density development, they are almost com-pletely sold out, according to sales rep-resentatives.

A new development, The Village at Carillon Parc, is set to follow the trend

of luxury multilevel housing in South-lake. The development, which sits on 42 acres between North White Chapel Boulevard and Carroll Avenue on SH 114, is proposed to have three-story res-idential lofts above retail and restau-rants.

The development is expected to come before City Council and the plan-ning and zoning commission this year.

In a presentation, development manager John Terrell said the cost per square foot for a loft is expected to range from $400-$450. Developers say there would be 50-60 lofts available for purchase.

If buyers are looking for a home that costs $300,000 or less in Grapevine, they should expect to pay more than the asking price, said Realtor Theresa Mason with MIG Real Estate in Grapevine.

Mason said most of the homes in that price range typically have multiple offers, and buyers who have cash offers usually trump all other offers.

4 BIDDING WARS IN GRAPEVINE CAUSING HOMES TO SELL FOR MORE THAN LISTED PRICE

Realtor Jen Blackwood with Blackwood Real Estate Advisors said the chance of buyers finding a home that is $300,000 and less in Grapevine, Colleyville and Southlake is decreasing every year.

“Most of these are properties sold for lot value only or homes that need extensive renovating,” she said. “With fewer lots left in the area to build new construction on, there is a higher demand for land, particularly large lots, but they are hard to come by.”

Since 2013 there has been an 84 percent decrease in single-family

3 HOUSING INVENTORY FOR HOMES UNDER $300,000 DWINDLING

properties available in Southlake for under $300,000 and less, and in Colleyville a 75 percent decrease.

“If you see a single-family home for sale in one of these areas for under 300,000, don’t wait to jump on it; more than likely it’s a great deal,” she said.

Although Grapevine has more homes on the market for $300,000 and less than Colleyville and Southlake, it, too, has seen a decrease in the amount of homes in that price range. In 2015, Grapevine had 278 homes in that price range compared to 85 homes so far this year, representing a 69 percent decrease.

competitive, buyers are trying to find ways to make their offer most appealing to a seller,” she said. “Cash is king, as they say. But for buyers with financing, we’re seeing people offering to pay cash over appraised value and offering to pay [the] seller’s closing costs just to try to compete with some cash offers. Many buyers will submit letters and family photos with their offer as well.”

In June the median sold price was 1.7 percent higher than the median listing price in Grapevine. Last year, the median buyer paid 2 percent more than the listed price, according to statistics from the Multiple Listing Service.

Update tile to create a sanitary, safe environment

Traditionally, bathing area walls were installed with porous grout, Agrelius said. This can cause the walls of tubs or showers to become moldy from moisture.

“Here in Texas, you can’t control the heat, and [the bathing area is] a wet area,” Agrelius said. “The most effective way to control water is to eliminate the grout by installing slab-like walls.”

By using slab-like walls, including large-format tiles, stone and acrylics, homeowners can avoid the creation of a potentially toxic area, he said.

Invest in landscaping

Affinito said she recommends people selling their homes only invest in renovations that will result in more than a 100 percent return. Hiring a landscaper to add mulch and clean up the lawn for a few hours is often worth the investment.

“You don’t have to go crazy with it,” Affinito said. “It makes a huge difference to your curb appeal.”

DO-IT-YOURSELF

Modernize your kitchen or bathroom with new fixtures

Chris Siebenthaler from Wilson Plumbing said fixture replacement is one of the best “bang-for-your-buck” plumbing projects.

“Faucet, sink and toilet replacements add a fresh new [look] to the home without breaking the bank,” he said. “Stick to name brands, and consult your plumber or showroom consultant for educated fixture recommendations.”

Siebenthaler recommended keeping all manuals and receipts for plumbing fixtures and appliances. In the future, these documents may come in handy when repairs and replacements are necessary.

Paint and upgrade cabinets

When selling homes, Isabel Affinito of JB Goodwin Realtors said she finds kitchens and

bathrooms stick out the most to buyers when making decisions. One way to freshen up the look of a kitchen or bathroom is to renovate the cabinets. She said homeowners can paint their cabinets—white is particularly popular for kitchens.

“The shape of the cabinets isn’t a problem; it’s usually the colors and the hardware,” she said.

Transform your bathtub into a stand-up shower

Converting bathtubs to showers is one of the fastest ways to create immediate value, said Josh Agrelius, the owner of bathroom renovation company Re-Bath of Austin.

“People are taking less baths,” he said. “Especially with the droughts we’ve had, people are water-conscious.”

To get started, homeowners need to research companies they may want to work with. Agrelius said they should make sure they are hiring qualified professionals, using Angie’s List and the Better Business Bureau as resources.

“You might spend a little bit more, but it will be done the right way without cutting any corners,” Agrelius said.

INITIAL COSTS

New homes are often more expensive than existing homes, and a larger down payment is typically required in addition to closing costs. However, the market for new construction can be highly competitive.

Owning a new home can be a good financial investment. The initial costs can be high, but repair and maintenance costs will be lower than those in an existing home.

The homeowner can choose flooring, design, colors or other features if the home is not complete. New houses do not generally require renovation or repair to pass inspection.

New construction is often located in areas increasingly further away from downtown centers—away from prime metropolitan real estate—and may require a longer commute.

Existing homes often have a lower purchase price than a new home of the same size. The previous owners of an existing home may be highly motivated to sell or may face foreclosure, creating an advantage for the buyer.

Older homes may be located in areas that are closed to new construction, where property values continue to increase. Homeowners may be able to use repairs as tax write-offs.

Existing homes typically face higher expenses for maintenance and repair when they move in.

Older homes may be located in areas that are closed to new construction, and houses are often larger than new construction in the same price range.

Leasers are faced with little or no upfront cost aside from a security deposit and the first month’s rent. Leasing requires no long-term obligation and allows the renter to move and relocate as necessary.

Residents who lease do not have the ability to build equity or to sell the home in the future. The owner of the property can sell the property, forcing residents to move out prematurely.

The property owner—not the resident—is responsible for major, expensive repairs. Residents who lease must maintain the property.

A person leasing a home can learn about the neighborhood for future consideration as a permanent residence.

Homeownership is part of the traditional American dream, but for many families and individuals, it makes more sense to lease a single-family home rather than to make a long-term commitment. Professionals in homebuilding, buying and renting have identified potential considerations that homeowners should take into account.

June 2016 vs. June 2017

Real Estate data provided by

Kimberly Holt Ebby Halliday214-957-1370

Chris Minteer, The Minteer Team

“The real estate market in Tarrant County is very similar to last year’s market. With low inventory it makes it a great time to sell a house. Home values have increased 11.3 percent over last year, which gives sellers the opportunity to cash out on their investment. For homebuyers, summer is a great time to start the search. We typically see more homes come on the market during the upcoming summer months, giving buyers a good selection to choose from.”

Theresa Mason, MiG Real Estate

“There are many similarities between the current 2017 real estate market and the market that we saw in 2016. In the DFW area, we are seeing home prices continue to increase, limited inventory and eager buyers. Interest rates have risen slightly this year, but not to the degree that was predicted at the end of 2016 and certainly not enough to negatively affect buyers’ purchasing decisions.”

HOW DOES THIS YEAR’S REAL ESTATE MARKET COMPARE TO LAST YEAR’S REAL ESTATE MARKET?

REAL ESTATE

COMPILED BY SHERELLE BLACK

Sophie Tel Diaz, Sophie Tel Diaz Realtors

“Thanks to the relocation of many companies to our area, we are experiencing a strong real estate market. The proximity of the international DFW airport plays a strong role as well. Texas has three of its market areas included in the top 10 strongest real estate markets in the U.S., and the Dallas-Fort Worth area is one of them. The price range up to the mid-$500,000 is moving fast and experiencing multiple offers. The higher-end properties are experiencing longer days on the market compared to 2016. With the rise of interest rates, if you are looking at buying, whether upsizing or downsizing, it makes sense to act sooner than later.”

T he lack of home basements in Texas left Mark and Lisa Nelson with a problem.

Having moved from Iowa, they had a wine collec-tion, and they wanted a safe and appropriate place to store it. After using a wine storage company in Dallas, the couple decided they wanted to try their hand at starting their own wine storage and services company.

“I stored with one competitor that’s in downtown Dallas for a while and they did a great job, and I just kind of used that as an opportunity to say, ‘You know, they did some things really well, but here are some things I might like to do a little bit different,’” Mark said. “And so that was the start of it then.”

The Nelsons’ business partners, Terry and Susan Perkins, started out as clients. When they opened Classic Wine Storage in 2006, the Nelsons chose to locate their business in Southlake, not only because it is an affluent area, but also because there were

not many competitors in the area. In 2011 the second Classic Wine opened in Dallas, and the third and largest location so far opened in Fort Worth in 2013.

The Southlake location features a variety of storage options, ranging from small case storage in lockers to walk-in storage rooms that can hold at least 144 cases of wine. Many of the lockers feature shelving as well. Tube storage is also an available option. The walk-in storage can feature both case and tube storage options.

Customers have access daily from 8 a.m.-10 p.m. to their temperature- and humidity-controlled space. Each unit is kept at 55 degrees Fahrenheit and 65 percent humidity.

As a Texas winery, Classic Wine can procure and sell wine to its clients, Mark said. Classic Wine can also pack, transport, inventory, ship and receive wine for its clients. Mark and the rest of the Clas-sic Wine team have also worked to cultivate a

• Do not store wine in the kitchen. “You will see wines out on a counter or above a refrigerator but the kitchen is the hottest place in the house, so don’t do that,” Mark said.

relationship with other wine storage and moving companies nationwide and can help their customers find people they can trust with their collections.

Some of the patrons at Classic Wine trust the staff to not only receive new personal shipments for the clients, but also to load them into their lockers.

For Mark, providing a secure place to store customers’ wine as well as a high level of service is crucial.

“The whole business is based on trust,” he said.

O wner Michael Easley said Big Fish Seafood Grill, which has

been located in downtown Grapevine since 2004, provides a place for travelers and locals alike to come in and enjoy a casual seafood restaurant that has a hint of Cajun.

Easley took over the space and the restaurant from his former boss and mentor, Bill Bayne. Over the course of several months from 2003 until Jan. 2, 2004, Easley transitioned the restau-rant from Half Shells Seafood Grill into Big Fish.

“I said, ‘Do you think it would be OK if I started running this place the way I want to run it?’” Easley said. “He goes, ‘Yeah, sure.’ … One of the things that I did want to do was live music.”

Easley said Big Fish was one of the first places on Main Street to offer live music during the week instead of just on the weekends. Local artists play on Wednesday and Saturday nights at the restaurant.

Diners in search of a classic can go with the fish and chips, which features two beer-battered fillets of cod, three hush puppies and seasoned waffle fries.

One of the Big Fish Starters is the seafood quesadillas, which features sauteed shrimp and crawfish, cheese, pico de gallo and cilantro pesto served on flour tortillas.

Guests with a sweet tooth can order the bread pudding, which is served with a whiskey cream sauce.

One of the ways in which the Cajun

side of seafood comes out at Big Fish is the all-you-can-eat crawfish from open to close on Wednesdays during crawfish season.

“We can go through 1,800, 1,900 pounds of crawfish on a Wednesday,” he said.

Easley attributed a lot of the success the restaurant is enjoying to the dedi-cated staff he has. Another component of the success Big Fish has had comes from the growth and development of Grapevine’s Main Street.

“The people that run this city, they do a really good job of marketing downtown Grapevine,” Easley said.

He and his staff hope guests feel like Big Fish is a second home, he said.

“That’s what we strive to be,” Easley said.
