Sun City Texas Real Estate and Lifestyle

With the long hot days of summer upon us, many people are taking advantage of the extra daylight hours to look at homes. Many families are relocating to the Central Texas area at a great time, taking advantage of the lowest mortgage rates we've seen this year, now in the mid 4% range. The State o...

Getting out this weekend to Georgetown Square on Saturday, it was great to see so many people out and about enjoying the weather.  People are expressing more interest in Central Texas & Georgetown. Being cooler, the city's appearance is very attractive, as I was told walking around the square.  ...

It's property tax time in Texas! 2011 Property Tax Appraisals have just arrived in the mail and it seems valves have risen! Of course the appraisal district thinks our home values have increased to collect more of our property tax dollars. Since Texas is a non disclosure state, be sure to call yo...

Have you seen the fruits and vegetables at the local farmers markets? (Above photo from Dallas Farmers Market, March 2011) Monument Cafe, our local eatery here in Georgetown, just opened a farmers' market adjacent the restaurant. We got a peak at it this past Saturday and was impressed with the l...

It seems as though whenever a planned get away approaches, business picks up for us.  Although we have an amazingly talented, licensed assistant who can handle the office as efficiently as if we were there, it is still a challenge to separate work from personal time.  I think one thing we have to...

It could be springtime just around the corner. Seems I am getting antsy for the planting of some geraniums, petunias and cool weather vegetables.  However just last year we had a 2 inch snow that blanketed out Georgetown Square and Sun City. I'll keep you posted as to my planting excursions and p...
