Bullet train between Dallas and Houston
Bullet trains are a form of transportation many Texans thought they'd never see unless they were on vacation in Asia or Europe. But rail advocates say a proposal to build a high-speed line connecting Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston may happen a lot sooner than expected, possibly 2020.
A group led by Central Japan Railway Co. that includes notable Texans such as former Harris County Judge Robert Eckels is seeking roughly $10 billion in private investment.

Home Prices Rise in Half of U.S.
Prices for single-family homes climbed in half of U.S. cities in the first quarter as real estate markets stabilized.
The median sales price increased from a year ago in 74 of 146 metropolitan areas measured, the National Association of Realtors said in a report today. In the fourth quarter, only 29 areas had gains.
There are broad shortages of homes in much of the country. This is good news for sellers who wish to list now, or for those waiting for prices to improve.
If you're thinking about listing your home, now is a great time!

Don't expect homes to get much cheaper
Buying a home may never get any cheaper than now. Several housing experts are predicting that this year will be the last chance for bargain hunters to cash in on the best deals of the weak housing market.
Homes have never been more affordable with prices down 34% nationally since 2006 and mortgage rates at historic lows, but it won't stay this way for much longer.

Best year for local housing market since before recession
This year is turning out to be the best for the local housing market since before the recession. Home sales are up all over Dallas and home purchases are up more than 25% higher than last year.
A pickup in job growth, low interest rates and relatively affordable home prices have buyers becoming more confident about the economic environment.
Even though there is a widespread gain in the number of home sales, prices are rebounding much more slowly. The sellers are finally taking low prices for their property after sitting for two years.
