Texas housing market breaks record for home sales, median price in 2018

February 27, 2019

AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 22, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — For the fourth consecutive year, the Texas housing market continued to break records in home sales and median price, according to the 2018 Texas Real Estate Year in Review report released today by Texas Realtors.

“The unprecedented real estate market activity in Texas in 2018 is a testament to the state’s business-friendly atmosphere and strong economy,” said Tray Bates, 2019 chairman of Texas Realtors. “It’s worth noting, though, that the rate of sales and price increases has cooled off a bit compared to prior years.”

Home sales across the state increased 1.7 percent in 2018, with 344,030 homes sold. This is a smaller increase than the 4.1 percent, 4.5 percent and 4 percent increases of 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Median home prices increased 4.4 percent from the year prior to $232,900. However, similar to the number of home sales, the increase in median home price was lower than the 6.2 percent, 7.7 percent and 7.1 percent increases of the past three years.

Jim Gaines, Ph.D., chief economist with the Real Estate Center at Texas A&M University, explained, “Despite another record-breaking year in the Texas housing market, home sales activity around the state slowed due to continued shortages in housing inventory and increased interest rates. We’re anticipating this will affect new home construction in 2019 due to the cost of land, shortage of labor and increased turnaround time for permitting.”

Housing inventory across the state increased 0.2 months to 3.3 months of inventory in 2018. According to the Real Estate Center, a market balanced between supply and demand has between 6.0 and 6.5 months of inventory.

Homes spent the same length of time on the market in 2018 as in 2017: an average of 58 days. Active listings statewide increased 1.4 percent from 2017 to 2018.

Chairman Bates concluded, “The availability of entry-level homes priced under $200,000 has decreased 13.5 percent since 2015. Due to high demand for housing in most areas of Texas, our inventory levels are critically low, and housing affordability remains a challenge. Texas Realtors will continue to work with state leaders in this current legislative session to support measures that make homeownership attainable for more Texans. Realtors will also continue to protect Texans’ property rights and support all facets of the real estate industry as a smart investment for Texans for years to come.”

Olympic Boulevard, Los Angeles 90015, California.

With its efforts, the Curacao Foundation, El Rescate and Tu Visión Foundation hope to raise $100,000 that will help provide thousands of migrants with the resources they need to face a long and difficult road ahead.

Everyone is encouraged to make a minimum suggested donation of $5 per person at the concert. One hundred per cent of the donation proceeds will go directly to the non-profit organizations at the forefront of seeking solutions to the current immigration crisis.

“The ‘Estamos con Ustedes’ (‘We are With You’) concert comes at a time when Latino immigrants are struggling to get their most basic human rights acknowledged and respected in the United States. And this fundraising effort is yet another demonstration of Curacao’s long history of support to a community that requires acknowledgement for their valuable contribution to this nation, community support and solidarity,” Curacao Foundation’s Director Sophia Cortez said.

Reaching for objects while driving may raise teen crash risk nearly sevenfold

February 26, 2019

BETHESDA, Maryland, Feb. 26, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Teenagers who reach for objects, such as food or makeup, while driving increase their risk of crashing nearly seven times, according to researchers at the National Institutes of Health. Their study, which appears in the American Journal of Preventative Medicine, also found that manually dialing, texting or browsing the web on a phone while driving doubled a teen’s crash risk.

Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death and disabilities among drivers aged 15 to 20 years, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The current study is the first to use real-time driving data to quantify the extent to which visual inattention—the amount of time a teen’s eyes shift from the road to various distractions—contributes to the risk of a crash.

Researchers followed 82 newly licensed teen drivers in Virginia over a one-year period, equipping their vehicles with cameras and GPS technology to track the driver’s activity and environment. After one year, 43 of the drivers did not experience a crash, while 25 had one crash and 14 had two or more crashes. Using six-second videos of driver behavior prior to a crash, researchers calculated that for every second that a teen’s eyes were off the road, the risk of a crash increased by 28 percent regardless of the type of distraction. Teens manually using a cell phone doubled their odds of crashing. Teens who were reaching for something while driving increased their risk nearly sevenfold, which researchers attributed to a combination of distractions, including taking their eyes off the road and their hands off the wheel.

“Teenage drivers are so comfortable with mobile devices that they tend to overestimate their ability to multitask while driving,” said Bruce Simons-Morton, M.P.H., Ed.D., a senior investigator at NIH’s Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) and one of the authors of the study.

In addition to documenting a driver’s dialing, texting, browsing or reaching for a phone, researchers assessed numerous “secondary tasks,” including dancing to music, attending to personal hygiene, and eating or drinking. The study found that the greatest crash risk came from visual distractions related to using cell phones and reaching for objects.

“During their first year of independent driving, teens often engage in many different activities behind the wheel that could lead to a crash,” said Pnina Gershon, Ph.D., the study’s lead author. “Teenage drivers may benefit from interventions that monitor and alert them during frequent or prolonged inattention to the road.”

During the event, thousands of Univision radio listeners across the U.S. called in or went online to become Angeles de Esperanza (Angels of Hope), joining the #ThisShirtSavesLives movement by pledging to make a monthly donation of $20 or more to support the St. Jude mission.

The event coincided with a campaign encouraging Univision listeners, talent and St. Jude celebrity friends to participate by wearing and sharing photos in their THIS SHIRT on social media.

Several artists, influencers and popular Univision on-air personalities participated in the St. Jude event, including: Omar Velasco and Argelia Atilano of “El show de Omar y Argelia”; Sylvia del Valle of “La Bronca”; José Gutierrez of “El Tambochi” and Carlos Iván Páez “El Compa Iván” of El Free-Güey; Raúl Molinar, Carla Medrano and Andrés Maldonado of “El Bueno, La Mala y El Feo”; Alejandro González and Maikel Rodríguez of “Los Pichy Boys”; Javier Romero of “Desayuno Musical”; Alberto Sardiñas of “El Show de Alberto Sardiñas”; Raúl Brindis of “El Show de Raúl Brindis”; Maria Esther Méndez and Pancho Mercado of “La Chula y La Bestia”; Santi and Laurita of AMOR 107.5; Raúl De Molina, Lili Estefan and Tanya Charry of “El Gordo y La Flaca”; Tony Dandrades, Pamela Silva Conde, Jackie Guerrido, Borja Voces of “Primer Impacto”; Francisca Lachapel, Alan Tacher, Maity Interiano and Chef Jesús of “Despierta América”; as well as Gabriela Bañuelos, Cristy Clavijo-Kish, Ana Flores, Gaby Natale, Carmen Ordoñez, members of the World Boxing Council and more.

St. Jude began celebrating radiothons in 1998 and launched the first national radiothon with Univision’s radio stations in New York, Miami, and Los Angeles in 2006. The national radiothon first took place across all Univision’s radio markets in 2009. Since its inception, the St. Jude/Univision national event has raised more than $65 million.

“Our founder Danny Thomas believed that ‘no child should die in the dawn of life,’ which is one of the driving forces in St. Jude’s aim to transform cancer care worldwide to cure at least 60 percent of children with six of the most common types of cancer by 2030,” said Richard C. Shadyac Jr., the president and chief executive officer of ALSAC, the fundraising and awareness organization for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. “We’re able to pursue these ambitions in partnership with others because of the amazing support of our friends at Univision and the Angeles de Esperanza. Together we won’t stop until no child dies from cancer.”
