Recent news that the developers of the Neil P. Anderson building on Burnett Park will be selling out the remaining 43 of 57 condos as a packaged commercial deal did not come as a shock. While the downtown real estate market remains in-tact, the Neil P had some challenges that were not addressed early enough in many people's opinion. I share the opinion of Kevin Buchanan of http://www.fortworthology.com/  regarding the Neil P:"Naturally, hints are dropped about in [Sandra Baker's Star Telegram] article about the downtown housing market slowing, which is completely untrue, if you ask me. Downtown housing isn't slowing. The failure of the Neil P. isn't a symptom of anything more than a failed development. High prices, high HOA dues, and awkward parking arrangements are what did the Neil P....

I am always looking for good quotes and quotables for myself and my clients.  Inspirational quotes are always important.  But quotes about the positvie side of real estate in this day and age is alway valuable too.   We need to keep a positive outlook even when it is a little cloudy.   Roger   Stimulus Plan Aids Buyers of High-Priced Homes ·         For a high-priced home, 1 percent can make a big difference. A monthly payment on a jumbo 30-year loan of $729,000 at 7 percent would be $4,850.

On Sunday afternoon, February 17, the Lady Frogs of TCU in Fort Worth met with the Lobos of New Mexico at the Daniel Meyer Coluseum, shown below.  It was an extremely hard-fought game... with both teams going all-out !  This was the third from the last home game for our Lady Frogs, and they knew they were in for a battle from the start !                                  The Lady Frogs of TCU had a sluggish start.  Going scoreless in the first nearly eight minutes, our killer Lady Frogs fell behind 11-0... and remained behind throughout the first half.  But... our Fearless Lady Frogs showed what they were made of, and clamped down hard on defense... as shown below.  Adrianne Ross, who made her 100th career start for TCU, scored eight points, and had four assists, which tied for the team ...

This evening I read another one of those panic articles on real estate.  The headline of course blared on and on about home prices dropping "all across the United States."The article was from the Reuters News Wire.  It even had a nice pretty map along with the article.As I read the cities from the nice, pretty map... I saw Los Angeles with a decline of 11.9 %, San Diego with a 13.4 % decline, Las Vegas with a 13.2 % decline, San Francisco with an 8.6 % decline, Denver with a 3.1 % decline, Chicago with a 3.9 % decline, New York declined 4.8 %, Boston declined 3.0 %, and Miami declined 15.1 %.That was it.  That was what Reuters was blowing their trumpet about.  Texas was untouched.  No declines, no bad news, no weeping and gnashing of teeth, no end-of-the-world.So why then... are so many...

There have been times when I have gone on a listing, and while chatting with the sellers about the in's and out's of marketing their home, sometimes they get around to telling me that they recently refinanced.My first reaction is usually to "cringe!"  Now why would I do that ?  Well... most of the time they tell me that they were able to lower their payment by several hundred dollars because of the refinance.  It is then that I ask them the question that usually tells the tale...Gee, Mr and Mrs Seller... what was your loan amount before you refinance ?  Oh... $235,000.  Ok... and did you have to pay any "closing costs" when you refinanced ?"  Oh no... we refinanced with "no cash out of pocket."  Our loan officer told us we could roll the closing costs into the mortgage... so "it didn't ...

I had a chance to preview the new History Maker Homes product in Homestead Neighborhood of West Fort Worth. HMH has always been known as the value leader in the metroplex for a sub $200,000 price range. Now affordable Tarrant County real estate will never be the same...If value was not enough, History Maker Homes is showing off higher ceilings with a 9' foot plate. One foot higher makes a big difference in the open feel of the floor plans. HMH already perfected the open concept. With more options and upgrades now available New stone elevations are becoming available also. Plans are becoming less "boxy". It is really a good looking home design. Models are complete in this neighborhood and the first closings will be in March of 2008.Would you like a VIRTUAL TOUR? Just follow the link.

Located just 15 minutes west of downtown Fort Worth is the Lost Creek Golf Club and the wonderful Lost Creek Addition subdivision of homes.  Those who think Texas is flat and boring will be in for a pleasant treat when they visit the Lost Creek Golf area.  With its rolling hills, numerous trees, wonderful fairways, and friendly neighbors this community has a lot to offer.This is country living in Texas at its best!  How can you beat having the convenience of living close to a major metropolitan area while enjoying all that country living has to offer?  And the best thing, and maybe the most surprising thing, is how affordable it is.  This quiet, very appealing area has a wide variety of beautiful homes.  Many have views of the golf course, while others have views of the rolling hills, o...

This Sunday at church I was speaking with a professor from Texas Christian University about our local real estate market. He had some interesting observations about our local market and why we have not had a crash like so many areas and have in some areas thrived.The first issue is job creation. He pointed out that one of the main determinates of a declining market is job loss. In Fort Worth in particular and north Texas in general the job market has been quite strong. An interesting note is that we have a high foreclosure rate which is usually indicative of job loss also. His contention is that the main culprit behind our foreclosure rate is the high use of 100% financing and other risky loans to marginally qualified buyers. When the buyer encounters the slightest economic hardship the...
