Changing perspective from Dallas real estate markets to the national stage, this is news as of roughly a week ago: the House Financial Services committee finalized a bill that would help the FHA maintain its standings and continue to provide insurance for mortgages.

Here in Dallas, there's more attention on the real estate market nowadays than there was a year ago—possibly a sign of greater expectations.
