North Texas Home sales were down 1% last month from a year earlier, marking the 1st drop in year-over-year preowned home sales since early 2010.  Homes sold by real estate agents in January were the smallest number of monthly sales in North TX in almost 2 years.  Bad weather and a low 2.6 month supply of single family offered for sale by real estate agents in a 50-county areas since early 2012 is contributing to all this.  Sales are still OK in the EAST TEXAS area, but inventory is HIGHER.  Still one needs to buy as INTEREST RATES STILL LOW.  Closed one today for an investor at 4.5% for 25 years and they are pleased!
