barksdale: Herby K’s - Home of the SHRIMP BUSTER - 10/08/11 04:14 AM

When we visit anywhere, we always want to do what the “locals” do.  We want a non-commercial, real people, a real experience.  My husband and I not only when we travel but also when we PCS to a new area.   I have been working on hitting all the “must-do” things in Shreveport-Bossier myself, and reporting back to you the awesomeness that I experience.  This time I wanted to give you a heads up on a experience you can take part in before it happens!
 
Herby K’s is a great Shreveport experience, with great food and great people.  Next Sunday … (1 comments)

barksdale: VA Assumptions = Great Investment Opportunity - 10/03/11 01:58 AM
VA loans are a great avenue for not only the military and veterans but normal people too!  Especially for Investors!
 
In the Barksdale AFB area we saw a slight rise in homes values when the Global Strike Command moved in.  Now that they are almost all here we have seen prices begin to drop in the area.  They are not dropping dramatically, just back to the pre-Global Strike real estate market.  Unfortunately, that is putting a lot of military personnel in a tough situation.  A lot people bought during that time, and now are PCSing to other areas. The problem … (0 comments)

barksdale: Southern Maid Deliciousness - 10/02/11 07:40 AM

When I have clients moving to the area they always ask what they should definitely do when while in Shreveport-Bossier City.  Locals have a long list of things they recommend, but it is hard to recommend them until I experience them personally.  One thing I have found being a military spouse is that the area we are stationed in is only as good as I make it.  The only way to truly enjoy yourself is to immerse yourself in the culture.  This morning I experienced yet another great part of the Shreveport-Bossier City area… Southern Maid Donuts.

barksdale: Shreveport-Bossier City Real Estate Absorption Rates August 2011 - 10/01/11 03:23 PM
Where has the time gone?  It is already October 1st and I just realized I never posted the Absorption Rates from August!  Here they are, so we can move on to September's!
 
The Absorption Rate is the ability of the real estate market to absorb or sell all of the houses for sale in a given amount of time. For example, if 100 homes are sold every month and there are 1200 homes for sale, it will take 12 months to sell all of the homes currently for sale. If there are 2400 homes for sale, the absorption rate will … (1 comments)

barksdale: Pricing Your Property "Right" - 07/04/11 12:13 PM
What does pricing your house right really mean?  I often tell my sellers that if we price your home "right" it will sell quickly but when I explain the "right," it always seems to be "wrong" in their eyes.  Well the truth is the right price is the price it sells at, not what your neighbors sold for (though a good comp), and it is not what others are listed for; it is below that.  David Knox (a very successful Realtor turned speaker and educator from St, Paul, MN) has a great phrase for this situation... "Do you want to stay? … (0 comments)

barksdale: Shreveport | Bossier City Real Estate Market Trends (as of April 2011) - 05/19/11 07:14 AM
Shreveport - Bossier City's real estate market has been very fortunate in not seeing the down turn that much of the rest of the country has seen.  In fact, with the addition of the Global Strike Command to Barksdale AFB and the new headquarters of the 8th Air Force, now located in North Bossier, the local area has seen a lot of real estate activity over the last few years.  With the high volume of people moving to the area for these changes we saw lots of property being sold, and an increase in the home values.  Now this influx of … (0 comments)
