georgetown village: Georgetown Village home for sale on Rosedale - reduced to $169,000! - 04/23/09 11:16 AM
Here's a cute home in my neighborhood that has 4 bedrooms and has just been reduced to $169,000. The architecture has the same characteristics of those downtown historic homes like big front porches, large dormer windows and siding/stone exterior. However, you don't have to worry about updating the plumbing or leveling the foundation because, unlike those old historic homes, this one is built in 2004. I like these homes in Georgetown Village because it combines the best of both worlds: Old home look without the old home maintenance.
Video of home can be found here:

georgetown village: Working in Temple, Ft. Hood or Killeen, Texas and want to live in Georgetown? There's still hope! - 09/07/08 12:39 AM
You hear a lot about how Georgetown, Texas is such a great place to live for people who work in Austin. But what about 30 minutes in the other direction North? Well, that would land you right in Temple and the entire Killeen/Ft. Hood area.
Don't be scared off by the picture on the left...that would be more like your commute to Austin, then Temple. You see, if you're heading north, there rarely is any traffic! Heading south into Austin, well, that's another story.
I have recently had an influx of clients who are working in Temple/Ft. Hood/Killeen and one thing … (3 comments)

georgetown village: Georgetown Village - Yes, there ARE Big Lots here! - 09/05/08 09:45 PM
Don't worry, I'm not talking about this Big Lots,
I'm talking about THIS:
That's right, .25 acres of beautiful irrigated grass that backs up to a panoramic view of the woods. It's hard to find a lot like this in Georgetown Village. The lot has a nice slope towards the back of it, which would be ideal for building an in-ground pool with a negative edge that gently slips off into the horizon. You can best get this view from the back patio, living room and kitchen:
The kitchen is … (3 comments)

georgetown village: Buying a Green home in Georgetown, Texas - 08/07/08 12:10 AM
Craftsman-style home by Green Builders in Georgetown Texas
A few weeks ago, I helped one of my favorite clients, Rod and Carol, purchase a home by Green Builders in my neighborhood Georgetown Village. This was very special for me because it now meant that I have sold every major builder that has been built in this neighborhood! That would include Perry Homes, Bowen Homes and Origin Homes; which are the current builders, and also some past builders like David Weekley, Lennar and Morrison. That seems like a lot of builders for a small neighborhood of around 500 homes like Georgetown … (1 comments)

georgetown village: Underwriters just "doing their job" or being a little overzealous? What's your call? Read on... - 07/19/08 12:03 AM
I'm in the middle of buying my next home here in my neighborhood, Georgetown Village in Georgetown, Texas and my loan is almost out of underwriting. Then I get the call from my lender that goes something like this:
Hi Edward, there's just one more thing they need.
Sure, what is it?
Well, the underwriters are having a hard time accepting this home as a primary residence
Ok, that's easy..."Yes...it is." Can you just tell them that? Isn't this what I indicated when I applied?
Yes, but they want you to write them an explanation and "convince" them because you … (9 comments)

georgetown village: Kudos to Green Builders in Georgetown Texas: Wins award from NAHB - 05/12/08 09:23 PM
Hooray for the little guys! Well, I guess they're not that little if they're on the American stock exchange. However, Green Builders is not somebody you hear about all that frequently, yet they just got recognized by the National Association of Home Builders for being the "2008 Single Family Affordable Home of the Year" at the National Green Building Awards. Nice to know that you don't have to pay an arm and a leg to have something environmentally friendly eh?
Congratulations to their President and CEO, Clark Wilson, and the whole Green Builders crew. To learn more about Green Builders … (6 comments)

georgetown village: Warning: Real Estate Agent Buys His Own Client's Home...ethical or not? - 05/11/08 11:34 PM
I am a real estate agent. Let's face it, when it comes to nest egg options, I doubt my broker has a 401k prepared for me. Therefore, I'm also a real estate investor. I buy homes and hold them for the long term. But what happens when these two roles collide? What should I do if, during the course of listing a home, I tell myself, "Gee, this is the exact type of home I'm looking for!" (Note: I really don't use the word "Gee" in real life.)
Real World Situation I just got off the phone with a … (16 comments)

georgetown village: Georgetown Village: Another victim of overzealous marketing - 04/25/08 09:34 AM
"...and what about the pool?" the excited, but naive, 26 year old was buying his first home and he couldn't wait to tell his fiance all about it.
"Well, that is a community pool and you can swim in it anytime you want!" mentioned Tim, the slick salesman for David Weekley. His Otis Spunkmeyer cookies were warm and freshly baked and the air conditioning inside was blasting...I couldn't resist....he had me....I had to buy the home.
The year was 2002, and Georgetown Village was just starting to take off. After relocating from Arizona and attending Military Intelligence Officer Advanced Course, … (1 comments)

georgetown village: Georgetown Texas Real Estate - Georgetown Village Case Study - 04/02/08 06:00 PM
What sells for $100/SF and higher in Georgetown Village?
Time is just FLYING by this year and I wanted to write about a series of case studies on my own neighborhood, Georgetown Village. One of the most common questions I get asked is, "How much $/SF are the homes going for in Georgetown Village?" This is simply too difficult to answer because the median $/SF would not accurately reflect the value of your own home. For example, since Jan 2007, homes in Georgetown Village have sold from as low as $78/SF to as high as $112/SF! For a home … (2 comments)

georgetown village: Georgetown Texas Real Estate Case Study: Better to Rent or Sell Your Home in Georgetown Village? - 03/11/08 10:22 PM
FREAK - Frequent Real Estate Asked Kuestions
"Back in the day" when we were just starting the accumulation of toys for our children we used to go after some real bargains on Craigslist. Sometimes we would get a toy for such a great deal that when the kids got tired of playing with it, we would sell it on Craigslist again...for a profit! Well, unfortunately, selling a home in Georgetown, Texas is not the same as selling a toy. I just received this letter today from a lady in my neighborhood:
