College Station Home Prices Home prices are moderate and well positioned to rise. In the last 5-7 years we've had a steady appreciation of 3-5% per year. Not bad, but not enough for a "crash". We've seen a bit of a tougher market just recently but even then the prices didn't dive like they did in many areas. For … (7 comments)

college station homes for sale: College Station Condos and Townhomes Vs College Station homes
- 07/16/09 08:54 AM
Many parents, wanting to buy a College Station home for their students, visit the idea of a condo or townhome. As with anything there are some very positive points to consider and some other negative points on these issues. First let's talk about what the difference is between condos and townhomes. The major difference is that condos always have associations and the homeowner doesn't actually own the land beneath the condo, the association does and you typically only own from the studs in. The exterior is owned and maintained by the association. Townhomes may, or may not have associations formed to maintain community … (2 comments)

Easily found in certain price ranges here (typically 250K and up, but sometimes lower, pricing will go up to over 1 million). Things to consider are land upkeep, and costs associated as well as garbage pickup, septic system costs (a contract with a reputable maintenance company is required by … (4 comments)

A little known townhouse community is directly across from the University Golf Course and easy walking or biking distance to classes. Oakwood Intermediate and A&M Consolidated Middle School are quite handy as well to these units. Not many come up for sale each year, but when they do they easily sell as they appeal to professors, students and people wanting a second home to watch games. These units were built in the 70's, but many have been updated with appealing items such as granite countertops, new flooring choices and energy efficient appliances. A community pool is yours for the taking and mature … (2 comments)

college station homes for sale: How to Negotiate the Best Price
- 12/30/06 03:03 PM
When I'm working with a buyer I like to be able to get them the best price and terms possible for them. Many buyers are concerned about how to get the best price possible. There are several ways to achieve the lowest possible price. 1) Be preapproved and have your loan in place subject to the property. 2) Be flexible on the closing date. Some sellers will want to close as soon as possible (especially on vacant homes) while others want to wait until the end of the school year or another fixed time. If you can accomodate their needs they are much … (0 comments)
college station homes for sale: Why You Don't Want to Write a Contingency Offer
- 12/30/06 02:32 PM
You searched for the perfect home and found it! Slight problem, you can't buy without your current home selling. Is it time to write a contingency offer? Think hard about whether or not you want to write that contingency. There are things you need to know about a contingency offer before you even start. 1) The house will continue to get shown to other people and they will be able to write offers on it. 2) If an offer comes in while you are under contingency you will have a one or two day (typically) time frame in which to waive the contingency, meaning … (1 comments)
college station homes for sale: Your Home "Warranty"
- 12/27/06 12:27 PM
A home protection plan, or what we manytimes call a warranty is a policy that typically costs less than $500 a year in our market. With one of these plans in place if the buyers air conditioning breaks down, or their dishwasher dies they pay a deductable (usually about $60) and the item is repaired or replaced. When I take listings I inform the sellers that they will probably be paying for a home warranty on the property. They aren't marketed as warranties anymore, they are called protection plans. When I represent the buyer I tell them that we will be asking … (3 comments)
