They are not, it's all really relative to your market. That's the problem with a lot of the national news coverage you hear, they report Real Estate/home value news, that's based on a broad view, and tend to generally paint every area with the same paintbrush. record lows in home prices This is absolutely not true, and any Realtor, who knows their stuff will tell you Property value is based on the individual market.

round rock: Hope you didn't turn back the hands of time?
- 10/30/07 03:43 PM
...Well at least not yet. :). Usually, we would turn our clocks back on the last sunday of October every year, but remember back in 2005 the Energy Policy Act changed all of that. We are set to fall back and turn our clocks back an hour next Sunday, Nov. 4th at 2am. And no, your machines haven't gone mad, it's just that any electronics with clocks made before 2005 are likely to be affected, so until Sunday, you'll have to annually adjust it, and then adjust it again on Sunday, or you could of course just leave it be till SUnday, (9 comments)

round rock: TEXAS Chili Anyone??
- 10/23/07 08:50 AM
So, even though I'm not a native Texan, I have come to learn a few things about Texans since I've been here. First if all...the truth that everyone know, which is that everything is Bigger in TExas! Bigger hats, bigger Football, Bigger Plates, Bigger Land!, and of course Bigger houses for your money! Another thing about Texas is that Texans love to make everything uniquely theirs ( I would say ours, but I'm still earning my stripes ;)) for instance we have Texas Burgers, Texas Steaks, Texas Chili (I'll talk more about that later) and even Tex-mex food :)

round rock: Round Rock's getting connected!
- 09/20/07 04:47 AM
After years of having no reliable and inexpensive public-transportation way to get from Round rock to Downtown Austin, and back, The City has finally responded with a new Bus system that will connect Round Rock, to Austin's Capital Metro lines. They plan on actually hiring a private bus company to get it started soon. They expect it to have a stop near Downtown Round rock, where people can take the bus to the Tech Ridge Park and Ride lot, by I35 and Parmer. Round Rock is growing rapidly, and because of that, there is a need for a lot of people for (0 comments)
round rock: Flipping pages in Round rock Texas
- 09/01/07 11:21 AM
That's pretty much part of what I do every day living in Round rock, TX :), and most of the pages are provided by the wonderful Round rock Library. :)
I love reading, and being that I also like saving money, the Library is my one-stop shop to satisfy my word-appetite. It's also a great place to take classes on anything including Computers classes, Genealogy classes, Reading classes for Kids & Teens, and even Dog-obedience classes. I am yet to try many of those classes, but I definitely make great use of it for borrowing books, and sometimes even Educational Dvds (4 comments)

Round Rock, TX is one of the booming towns in the greater-Austin Area.
