estate: Realestate Recovery - 09/05/12 07:45 AM
The statistics for 2012 are in for up to the month of July from the Texas A&M Real Estate Center for the Bryan-College Station. While the statistics are broad and can be confusing, the overall trend suggests that the real estate market is growing and recovering. Overall real estate sales have been growing steadily between January and July. This, however, is a general trend in real estate sales, so there is little hope that this growth will continue for the next several months. But comparing monthly sales between the 2012 year-to-date and the previous two years suggests that an overall growth … (1 comments)

estate: Georgia Bulldogs Avoid the Aggies for 2012 - 08/28/12 07:35 AM
The University of Georgia Bulldogs will not face off against the Texas A&M Aggies in the latter’s premiere season in the SEC. This, however, is no excuse to ignore that Georgia is, and has been, an elite program with the Southeastern Conference, and will remain to do so throughout the upcoming years of A&M’s assimilation.            University of Georgia is in the Eastern Division of the SEC, one of the determining factors of their avoiding a confrontation with the rookie Aggies. They are one of the founding institutions of the SEC, joining the conference at its creation in 1932, and one of … (1 comments)

estate: Pebble Creek Living - 08/01/12 04:33 AM
Pebble Creek is a neighborhood that has been firmly founded in the College Station area. It is new enough so that investors can be confident in the reliability of the subdivision, the HOA and the comfort of the property, but not so old that the homes are guaranteed to be falling apart. It houses one of three championship 18 hole golf courses within the Bryan/College Station area, being the only Country Club within a subdivision and linked with an HOA. The surrounding amenities, including close fire, police, and medical centers insure it’s safety as well as the outstanding record of the … (0 comments)

estate: Rights of HOA's - 07/26/12 04:16 AM
Living in Texas under HOAs is not always a pleasant experience for the 20% of homeowners falling under that category. For instance, one homeowner in Atlanta laments his inability to install Solar Panels on the roof of his house due to HOA ruling. U.S. and state court systems have time after time enforced HOA control… until recently. New rights have been granted to Texas property owners under HOAs. The first of these rights allows homeowners to install solar energy devices on their property without the interference of HOA authority. A similar right allows property owners to install roof panels that are … (0 comments)

estate: Gators in College Station? - 07/24/12 03:57 AM
University of Florida is one of the most nationally known universities, what with their national titles, Gatorade, and Tim Tebow. However, they are strikingly similar in many ways, including academics, campus and enrollment size. Both Universities have similar (if not identical) national university rankings. Both universities are ranked in the top 10 for single-campus size, A&M being 6th with Florida right behind them at 7th. Both schools are founded in similar cities and around the same time. Both universities are founded as land, sea, and space grant research universities. They do differ, however, in football. Florida, with their 3 national universities … (1 comments)

estate: How to Price and Sell your Home - 07/13/12 01:07 AM
It is imperative that you take a step back and logically assess your property when you decide to sell your home.  A real estate agent can help you determine a fair value for your home up front by suggesting a listing price. Overpricing and underpricing are both dangerous. In order to make this decision, it’s important that you educate yourself. You may consider getting an appraisal of your home. Pricing it right initially will make your home an attractive offer to a large pool of buyers as soon as it hits the market. Ask your real estate agent to run a … (1 comments)

estate: A&M and Missouri join SEC - 07/09/12 07:34 AM
    When Texas A&M left the Big 12 there were mixed responses. Not only were they leaving behind a history with the Big 12 and a traditional rivalry with UT, they were also leaving the universities of the state of Texas offended and hurt. UT still refuses to schedule future athletic competitions. The University of Missouri also left the Big 12 with Texas A&M to join the SEC, making A&M’s departure slightly easier. However, Missouri is much less likely to succeed athletically then A&M due to their small budget. But apart from athletics, Missouri looks to bring a rich history to … (1 comments)
