An entirely different type of real estate investor will be popping champagne after the latest report on residential real estate price hikes in Dallas.

‍

As of October, Redfin Corp. found that the median real estate price rose by 14.4% year-over-year. That’s more than double the national median price increase of 6.6%. The median price tag for the sold units stood at $429,000 — a sum already unfeasible for many who’d be thrilled to add Dallas real estate to their portfolios. The good news is that they won’t need to go empty-handed because of one crucial market development.

‍

The founders of Nada, a startup behind the disruption in question, wanted to allow anyone to profit off the historically most reliable asset class by lowering the barrier to entry. Through the innovation introduced by its latest product called Cityfunds, investors can own a piece of the entire city’s real estate market for as little as $250. The mechanism at play is a modernized version of a real estate acquisition tactic that has brought billions to America’s wealthiest in the last 60 years. But for the first time, you can buy stock in the entire city’s residential real estate market.

‍

Through Cityfunds, Nada creates a diversified, index-like fund made of single-family residences in large urban centers. Investors then buy shares of each individual fund, hoping that the prices will continue to climb.

‍

Although it’s impossible to predict the future, you can look at a few data points suggesting that Dallas’s real estate prices are just warming up. Median income has been on the upswing in recent years, growing by 20% between 2015 and 2020 to reach $54,747 per year, while the cost of living remained low compared to urban centers of similar size.

‍

Perhaps even more important is that the job market is blooming. A quarter of Dallas’s population earns more than $100,000 annually, meaning that a significant portion of Dallas residents are able to afford single-family homes. According to Bloomberg, Dallas has secured 661,000 jobs since 2010, while Forbes ranked it as the No. 1 city for jobs in 2017. That may be one of the defining reasons Dallas is the fifth-fastest-growing city in the U.S. More than 97,000 people moved to the Dallas area between June 2020 and July 2021 — an astounding 7% population influx in little over a year.

‍

These stats likely bring a smile to thousands of investors who purchased Dallas’s $10 shares, as does the recently published performance report on the company’s Dallas assets. The portfolio appreciated by 14% year-to-date. Any day now, Nada will make the stocks liquid through its stock-trading option. When that happens, those $10 shares may witness a substantial spike in value.

Nada Holdings, Inc. ("Nada"), as a manager of Cityfunds I, LLC (“Cityfunds”) operates the www.nada.co website (the "site") and the mobile-based app (the "App") and is not a broker-dealer or investment advisor. All securities ("Shares") related activity is conducted through Dalmore Group LLC, a registered broker-dealer and member of FINRA/SIPC, located at 525 Green Place, Woodmere, NY 11598. You can review the brokercheck for Dalmore.

You should speak with your financial advisor, accountant and/or attorney when evaluating any offering. Neither Nada, Cityfunds, nor Dalmore makes any recommendations or provides advice about investments, and no communication, through this website or in any other medium, should be construed as a recommendation for any security offered on or off this investment platform. The Site may make forward-looking statements. You should not rely on these statements but should carefully evaluate the offering materials in assessing any investment opportunity, including the complete set of risk factors that are provided as part of the offering circular for your consideration.

Cityfunds is conducting public offerings pursuant to Regulation A, as amended, through the Site and App. The offering circular for Cityfunds is available. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investments such as those on the Nada platform are speculative and involve substantial risks to consider before investing, outlined in the respective offering materials and including, but not limited to, illiquidity, lack of diversification and complete loss of capital. Key risks include, but are not limited to, limited operating history, limited diversification, risk of asset damage or theft and lack of voting rights. Also, the adverse economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic remain unknown and could materially impact this investment. An investment in an offering constitutes only an investment in a particular series and not in Cityfunds or the underlying asset(s). Investors should carefully review the risks located in the respective offering materials for a more comprehensive discussion of risk.

From time to time, Cityfunds will seek to qualify additional series offerings of securities under Regulation A. For offerings that have not yet been qualified, no money or other consideration is being solicited and, if sent in response, will not be accepted. No offer to buy securities of a particular offering can be accepted, and no part of the purchase price can be received until an offering statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") relating to that series has been qualified by the SEC. Any such offer may be withdrawn or revoked, without obligation or commitment of any kind, at any time before notice of acceptance given after the date of qualification by the SEC. An indication of interest involves no obligation or commitment of any kind.

Investment overviews contained herein contain summaries of the purpose and the principal business terms of the investment opportunities. Such summaries are intended for informational purposes only and do not purport to be complete, and each is qualified in its entirety by reference to the more-detailed discussions contained in the respective offering circular filed with the SEC.

Cityfunds does not offer refunds after an investment has been made. Please review the relevant offering materials and subscription documentation for more information.

All Shares will be issued in electronic form only and will not be listed or quoted on any securities exchange. We expect that after a Series’ offering has concluded, the Public Private Execution Network Alternative Trading System, or PPEX ATS (the “Secondary Trading Platform”), which is registered with the SEC and operated by North Capital Private Securities Corporation (“North Capital”), will be a venue available for the resale of such Shares through Dalmore, as a broker-dealer member of the Secondary Trading Platform; provided, however, any such resale of Shares will be subject to federal and state securities laws and the restrictions in the Series’ Operating Agreement, and there can be no assurance that an active market for any Shares will develop on the Secondary Trading Platform, that the Secondary Trading Platform will be available to allow resales of Shares to residents of all states, or that the Secondary Trading Platform will be available at all. For these reasons, investors must be prepared to hold their Shares indefinitely.
