Texas Real Estate

Low inventory and high/increased demand made last year the second best year EVER for Texas home sales, said Jim Gaines, economist from the Real Estate Center at Texas A&M.  Gaines also stated that the growing interest in Texas real estate is in part due to the state's population growth...a main concern for the state will be accommodating these new residents.

Time to list

Time changes Sunday March 8, 2015 and the 1st day of spring is March 20, 2015.  If selling a home is on your mind, now is the time to get the property "show ready" and on the market.  Research shows that homes sold using a Realtor sell for 30% more than homes for sale by owner.  Tight inventory of good, clean, move-in properties insures a quick sale.  Don't forget....you only have 1 chance to make a good 1st impression, make sure it counts!
