texas: Don't believe the hype, homes values aren't down everywhere....
- 02/26/08 03:39 AM
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.
lol..now, that I'm off my Soapbox :P I'll get to the good stuff. :) The Austin-Area market is doing Great!!, and we're currently celebrating our 2nd highest year in Austin Real … (4 comments)

texas: 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 :)
texas: Kayaking On Town Lake in Austin, Texas
- 09/04/07 07:13 AM
I lOVE Kayaking. It's one of the most relaxing things to do. My husband and I go to town lake in Austin as often as possible, and try to get our friends to go too, but most of the ones who live here, don't want to try it, and are missing out indeed.
Because whenever we have guests in from out of town, we always take them out there. It's just another one of the charming things about ATX, the fact that you can go out and rent a Kayak for about $20/hour, or $30 for the whole day at … (6 comments)

- 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)

texas: Californians changing the scope of Texas Real Estate.
- 08/11/07 11:15 AM
According to the Austin Statesman's Jean Kwon, and just by virtue of visual confirmation after paying attention to the Austin or Central Texas Real Estate Market, it's not hard to see why Californian natives are migrating to Texas in droves. The biggest reason is the discrepancy in Prices of property out in California in comparison to property Prices down here in Central Texas. The gap is phenomenal, and you are readily able to see that you can get almost twice the house for about half the price here in Austin, than you can in most, if not all the locales in California. Other … (3 comments)
Great information about the Central Texas Area. Place to find out about Real Estate in the Greater Austin Area, including Round rock, and all other surrounding cities, events happening in the area, and trends in Real Estate.
They are not, it's all really relative to your market.
