It's Hot in Texas!! Summer of 2011

I grew up in Dallas in the 1950s and 60s and I never remember having so many hot days during the summer. Back then the weather went to 100 degrees in August for about 10 days. Well time doesn't stand still, does it?
Buyers have slowed down in the last 2 weeks, guess everyone has headed to Colorado! Lucky for them....
Oh well, homes are on the market and the market in Central Texas is stilll great, we are just taking a rest with the heat. As I say this we have put a couple of homes under contract as the buyers elsewhere have offers on their homes. Yes, the system does work.
While looking at homes our clients enjoy our white car, light interior, great AC, water bottles in the car and homes seen that were cool and shaded. The sun is the real deal with…

Rejuvinated Georgetown Spirit

Getting out this weekend to Georgetown Square on Saturday, it was great to see so many people out and about enjoying the weather. People are expressing more interest in Central Texas & Georgetown. Being cooler, the city's appearance is very attractive, as I was told walking around the square. It was obvious that there is a rejuvinated buyer stream here as well. Buying & selling activity is on the rise! We wrote three contracts this weekend. How exciting to to see new faces in Sun City knowing many of them would become my neighbor soon.
