tim moncrief: My First AR Blog in 2006: Prediction of the bust.. What was yours?
- 10/24/12 12:34 PM
Well, perhaps it was not well received at the time, but 'tis fun to look back on one's opinion in the past to see how accurate predictions can be. I was a fraction off on the timing and way off on the depth of the devistation. But, I was dead on with the success of our local market because of the bust.

We present this luxurious Morrison (Taylor-Morrison) “Lexington” home in the prestigious “River Dance” community of Steiner Ranch. This home was designed with a 5th bedroom, large enough to be considered a second master suite, or ideal for a private media room.
