You know it’s a recession, Dallas-Fort Worth version

November pre-owned home sales were off 33 percent from a year ago. And price dropped 7 percent.

The sales percentage decline is the largest recorded in this area; read the full story for more details.

With continued softness in the new-home market, and the recession lessening the flow of business relocations, I’d expect residential real-estate softness for 7-9 months or so. And, if Big D is in that much recessionary struggle, no, this probably won’t be a mild one.
