to the year 1971, and what do you find? U.S. homes selling for an average $23,900;

$10,600.

Walt Disney World opened that year in Florida, the voting age was lowered to
18 and cigarette ads were banned from television. Hidden among the headlines,
however, was an event that would change Texas real estate forever.

That year Gov. Preston Smith signed Senate Bill 338 creating the Texas Real
Estate Research Center.

Now, the story of the nation’s largest publicly funded real estate research
organization is no longer what a noted Realtor once called “the best kept
secret in Texas.” Learn
more about the past, present and future of the nationally famous
organization that has been helping Texans make better real estate decisions for

Dr. Jim Gaines, Economist for the Real estate Research Center at Texas A&M University, talks with Shannon Register on the “Price of Business” on CBS Radio 650AM about the outlook of real estate in Texas.

COLLEGE STATION (Real Estate Center) – As the new year begins, the question on most investors’ minds is “what’s in store for the U.S. economy in 2010?”

 Real Estate Center Chief Economist Dr. Mark Dotzour has some thoughts on the matter, putting him in high demand lately.

“The good news is that people are tired of being afraid,” Dotzour said at a recent conference sponsored by the National Association of Industrial and Office Properties (NAIOP). “Consumer confidence is picking up and the private sector is about to turn around. The private sector has right-sized.”

Dotzour’s remarks were included in the winter issue of NAIOP’s magazine, Development. 

While Dotzour is used to taking his show on the road, now he’s taking it online as well.

He recently shared his thoughts on the future of the commercial real estate market in a 44-minute webinar for the National Association of Realtors (NAR). You can listen to the presentation and view his Powerpoint presentation on NAR’s website.
