I honestly can't say it enough ... I LOVE living in the Lake Ray Hubbard area!    The City of Rowlett is hosting the 2nd Annual Summer Concert Series at Pecan Grove Park, 5300 Main St, the open grass area behind the Community Center & Kids Kingdom Park.  Every Friday in August, starting at 7:00pm, the city of Rowlett will have open air concerts free of charge.  It’s a family friendly time to spread a blanket, listen to live music, sip a beverage (non alcoholic) and enjoy the fresh air and enjoy some great Food Truck eats from some of the DFW Metroplex's best FOOD TRUCKS!    City of Rowlett Facebook Page City of Rowlett Facebook Page     In addition to the kiddos being able to play at Kids Kingdom, there will be bounce houses and a few other fun activities for them to do. But don't let t...

Now I’m no Bird Watcher or expert in the subject of Birds, but I do know that having a SNOW OWL   in Texas is a crazy thing!   Well just a few days ago, a  SNOW OWL  , was spotted hanging out at the Robertson Park in Rowlett, on the banks of the beautiful Lake Ray Hubbard!   It’s my understanding that  SNOW OWLS   are hardly ever seen south of the Arctic Circle in Canada, and is actually the  6th Time  a SNOW OWL   has been spotted here in the state! Because of this, it’s easy to understand why so many people are making the tract out to Lake Ray Hubbard, just off I-30, to see this amazing bird!   Below is a clip from the local Fox News … Snowy Owl in Texas Sparks Watching Frenzy: MyFoxDFW.com   If you’d like to learn more about life in the Lake Ray Hubbard area, or available homes, plea...

Another year has come & gone, like the sun setting over the beautiful Lake Ray Hubbard! So how did Real Estate market do in 2011 in the Lake Ray Hubbard area compared to 2010?  Overall, 2011 was an alright year for both Sellers and the Buyers in the Lake Ray Hubbard housing market considering the economic state of our Country. Houses tended to stay on the market a bit longer than 2010 and sellers typically recieved less than their asking price ... BUT ... on the positive side, the Housing market saw amazingly low mortgage rates! Real Estate is local and it's actually Hyper Local ... so with that being said, here's a quick glance of how the different cities fared around Lake Ray Hubbard. GARLAND, TX: 2011 saw about 18% less Listings (2,757), about 4.6% fewer Sales (1,666), and Sale Price...

When moving with children to a new city, 1 of the most important things that you need to find is a PEDIATRICIAN! This is something that is best taken care of before actually needing  one.   If you are in the Lake Ray Hubbard area or are thinking of moving to Rowlett, Rockwall or Fate TX, allow me to give you a recommendation for an amazing group of Pediatricians that I use PERSONALLY. Lake Pointe Pediatrics, 6900 Scenic Drive #103, Rowlett, is made up of Dr Pamela Wieland, M.D, F.A.A.P, Dr Dynal London, M.D, F.A.A.P, & Frank Zucconi, CPNP. Not only are they knoweldgable pediatricians but they are also parents and understand the importance of personal care & educating the parents as best as possible.   My son sees Dr Wieland but when she's not available, he's also been seen by Dr London...

YES, it IS a great time for you to sell so you can buy that Bigger/Nicer home you want! There are homeowners that would like to have a larger/nicer home but are patiently waiting for the market to improve. A frequently heard objection is that they can't Sell their Home for what it is Currently Worth. Believe it or not, it's actually to your advantage to Buy up in a down market because while you might get less for the home you're selling, you're also getting the larger home for less. For instance, if you had to sell a $200,000 home for a 10% discount, you might feel that you left $20,000 on the table. However, buying a $300,000 for the same 10% discount would put you $10,000 ahead on the sale and purchase. The other obvious matter is that when the mortgage rates increase while you're wai...
