lubbock homes: Contract to Close Guidance for Home Buyers
- 04/10/16 11:34 PM
You found the Lubbock home you want and your agent submitted an offer. You are now entering the time frame known as Contract to Close. It is too early to celebrate because there is lots to do over the next 30 – 60 days. This process can be stressful but a good REALTOR and LENDER can help smooth the way.
Be ready to negotiate with the seller. Depending on the housing market in your area you may or may not have the upper hand. The seller can reject your offer, give you a counter offer, or accept your offer as written, which rarely happens in … (3 comments)

lubbock homes: Downsizing in Lubbock
- 06/03/15 05:17 AM
For most of us downsizing is based on finances, health, being nearer extended family, or a desired change of lifestyle. You may want to sell your big home and buy smaller to save money on taxes, water bills and to reclaim the time you’ve spent doing yardwork.
For most of us, options for a smaller home with less maintenance include traditional homes, garden homes, condominiums and townhouses.
Garden homes are a very popular choice. A garden home occupies most of the lot and often features landscaped patios with very small or no yard.
Traditional homes with a small or low maintenance yard … (0 comments)

lubbock homes: Top Ten Tips for Buyer's
- 01/04/15 04:50 AM
Let’s assume that you already know the basics and you are pre-approved for a home loan (necessary unless you are paying cash) and that you have chosen a local REALTOR to guide you.
A few months before you want to buy a home, look at homes for sale online to see what is available and how much they cost and attend Open Houses to familiarize yourself with what type of home you can expect to get for what price. Trulia is user-friendly or your real estate agents website* may have a search engine that ties in with the multiple … (3 comments)

lubbock homes: Lubbock Homes and Home Auction Information
- 08/30/11 10:47 AM
There is a great Lakeridge home that is going up for auction. This home has been listed and withdrawn, and then it has been a HUD home owned by Fannie Mae but still the home did not sell. The primary problem is likely the location in that the home sits on a corner lot on 98th Street just a few blocks east of Slide Road. This is a wonderful neighborhood but high traffic street. I have owned a home on a busy street before and don't want to again but I would say this - if you are mostly an 'indoor' person … (0 comments)

Hey, if you are getting all your back to school shopping done, it would be nice to know what date to send the kids back to school!

Greetings all! Of all central Lubbock neighborhoods, Tech Terrace is by far the most popular with homes here in great demand. Earlier this week I took some time to drive through the neighborhood. The tree-lined streets are quiet and I never tire of looking at the great variety of homes. If you are new to Lubbock and have not yet been to the Tech Terrace neighborhood, it is the area located between University and Indiana, and 19th Street and 34th Street. I just took a look at Lubbock's multiple listing service and found that there are currently 26 homes for sale … (2 comments)

lubbock homes: Lubbock Homes For Sale - Owner Financing Available
- 12/07/10 09:26 AM
I have talked to a number of buyer's lately about Owner Financed homes in Lubbock. Although they are rare, we do have some available today. A search of the MLS system showed 17...that is around 1% of all homes listed that are willing to owner finance. I want to tell you about a few of these homes that are available now with OWNER FINANCING. Specifics found below!
However, I'd like to review some of what it takes to get into an owner financed home. It is an alternative but certainly not a good plan for every potential home buyer. Read on!

lubbock homes: Country home near Lubbock
- 10/06/10 02:43 AM
For those who aren't from around here, Lubbock, TX is on the high plains of Texas and our economy is agricultural based. Of course we also have Texas Tech University and the best hospitals in this area of the state. Most Lubbock homes don't actually have cows grazing in the front yard and we don't have dusty streets and saloons either. What we do have is a great economy and lots of wonderful homes for sale in all price ranges. If you are from out of state or elsewhere in Texas and looking for a new place to call … (4 comments)

lubbock homes: September Update - Lubbock Homes for Sale
- 09/20/10 04:47 PM
I have had a great few weeks with lots of business and some fun travel too. I have been to Phoenix, Vegas and Austin. But like Dorothy says, there is no place like home.
The Lubbock real estate market is still very stable but has shifted to a buyer's market. This means that buyers have more to choose from, while sellers are likely making more concessions to get their homes sold. All in all it is a super time to buy a home in Lubbock.
I just did a search of our Multiple Listing Service and wow! I show 1536 homes … (0 comments)
