Home Values Hit Yearly Highs as Inventory Falls in Affluent Dallas Suburb of Southlake

Monday, August 26th, 2013


Dallas, TX (PRWEB) August 12, 2013

The affluent suburb of Southlake, located just about 25 miles northwest of the heart of Dallas, is home to more than 27,000 residents who all take pride in one exemplary quality this city continues to demonstrate: greatness. For some, that greatness takes place in the form of the eight-time state champion Carroll High School football team, and for others it manifests itself in the fine architecture and unparalleled quality of life in comparison with other Dallas-area suburbs. Most recently, greatness for Southlake homeowners has come in the form of the 2013 real estate boom, which has treated the citys home values extremely well, especially in the past few months.

Prudential Texas Properties reports that an August 5 market analysis from California-based real estate tracker Altos Research saw the median home list price for Southlake homes at a whopping $ 849,500. This is by far the highest seven-day average that Southlake has seen for the nearly three years that Altos has on record, and is up more than 23 percent from where it was at the beginning of 2013 when it was at roughly $ 650,000. Whats more, this number has been skyrocketing ever since April and has shown little signs of letting up.

Watch a 60-second Southlake home market update.

Numbers that see appreciation this drastic over such a short period of time beg for some speculation, and those interested in buying or selling [Southlake Texas homes might rightly question if there is an ample data pool to draw from to make sure these numbers are truly reflective of the Southlake market. But with more than 200 properties currently listed in the area, it would appear that Southlake home values really are that amazingly hot. Beyond that, even the more reliable 90-day average for Southlake homes is up dramatically from the beginning of the year, with a six-figure increase following a similar trend as the 7-day average.

And as for that Southlake inventory, while the amount of Southlake homes for sale are up slightly from the beginning of the year, the 202 properties currently on the market is a number that has been dropping since June when it was closer to 225. Additionally, days on market (DOM) for Southlake homes are down vastly, with the current DOM of 116 down from more than twice what it was at the beginning of the year, according to the Altos report.

Southlake is one of the most sought-after dwelling spaces in the entire North Texas area, says DD Flynn, VP of Marketing with Prudential Texas Properties. And with the amazing ripple effect that the Dallas real estate boom has had on neighboring communities, its no wonder that a community as desirable as Southlake is this highly in-demand.

New Trend of Americans Wishing to Hold Foreign Assets Without IRS Reporting Turning to Solo 401(k) Plan & Self-Directed IRA, According to IRA Financial Group Attorney

Saturday, August 24th, 2013


Miami, FL (PRWEB) August 16, 2013

IRA Financial Group, the leading provider of self-directed IRA and Solo 401(k) Plans, has seen a surge an interest for the self-directed IRA and Solo 401(k) product as a vehicle to hold assets outside of the United States without triggering any U.S. reporting requirements. The main trigger for cutting ties with U.S., several lawyers say, is the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, or Fatca, which requires foreign institutions to disclose the overseas assets of U.S. green-card holders and citizens to the U.S. government. The main objective of Fatca is to identify people who may be evading taxes through offshore investment vehicles.

U.S. citizens, U.S. individual residents, and a very limited number of nonresident individuals who own certain foreign financial accounts or other offshore assets must report those assets using IRS Form 8938. In general, taxpayers with a total value of specified foreign financial assets below a certain threshold do not have to file Form 8938. If the total value is at or below $ 50,000 at the end of the tax year, there is no reporting requirement for the year, unless the total value was more than $ 75,000 at any time during the tax year. It is important to remember that the new Form 8938 filing requirement does not replace or otherwise affect a taxpayers obligation to file Form TD F 90-22.1 (Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts), stated Adam Bergman, an in-house tax attorney with the IRA Financial Group. According to Mr. Bergman, individuals must file each form for which they meet the relevant reporting threshold.

According to Mr. Bergman, when using retirement funds to make foreign investments, either via a self-directed IRA or a qualified retirement plan, such as a Solo 401(k) Plan, the IRS under the FBAR rules and IRS Form 8938 exempt retirement accounts from such filings. As a result of the very stringent foreign bank account filing requirements, there has strong interest in U.S. persons wishing to hold assets outside the U.S.

IRA Financial Groups Self-Directed IRA and Solo 401(k) Plan are perfect vehicles for U.S. retirement investors looking to self-direct their retirement funds and make traditional as well as non-traditional investments tax-free. We have seen an surge in demand from clients looking to hold assets outside the U.S. and not be bogged down with very complex filing requirements, stated Mr. Bergman.

The IRA Financial Group was founded by a group of top law firm tax and ERISA lawyers who have worked at some of the largest law firms in the United States, such as White & Case LLP, Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP, and Thelen LLP.

IRA Financial Group is the market’s leading checkbook control Self Directed IRA & Solo 401(k) Plan Facilitator. IRA Financial Group has helped thousands of clients take back control over their retirement funds while gaining the ability to invest in almost any type of investment, including real estate without custodian consent.
