COLLEGE STATION Texas FAMILY FRIENDLY – Are you SURE?
August 31st, 2010 categories: Community Events
College Station Texas is Family Friendly? That is what the RECON Report 8/31/2010 says! I agree!
COLLEGE STATION – College Station was the only city in Texas to make Kiplinger’s list of top ten great cities for raising families.
The findings were based on job growth, healthy economies and vibrant local culture. Additional information such as areas already filled with families with children, quality of public schools, low crime rates, and amount of parks and recreation were then taken into consideration.
“Great public schools and low crime are not the only draws of this small Texas city,” said Kiplinger. “College Station has also seen steady wage growth and a low unemployment Read the rest of this entry »

College Station I.S.D.’s rezoning for the 2011-12 School Year
August 31st, 2010 categories: The Realtor's Life
As I recently reported, College Station will be opening two new schools in the district in the near future. Greens Prairie Elementary is set to open its doors in August 2011, and College Station High School will open in August 2012. To accomodate the opening of these new campuses, the school district has been hard at work on the daunting task of redrawing attendance zones. Not only do these attendance zones affect the new schools, they affect all College Station I.S.D. campuses – elementary through high school.

Why College Station Homebuyers Should Be Wary of the 2-1 Buy Down
August 27th, 2010 categories: The Realtor's Life
For those with good credit and the means, it is one of the easiest times in history to get into a new home. But for some, though the market is right, they find they just do not quite qualify for that new home loan. In a situation like this, it is tempting to consider the FHA 2-1 buy down. When a buyer applies for a loan, but doesn’t qualify for it at the current interest rate, the option of a 2-1 buy down is often put on the table. In this case, lenders will allow borrowers to temporarily “buy down” the interest rate on a mortgage. This allows a purchaser to reduce the initial interest rate on their mortgage by 2% the first year, 1% the next year, and 0% every year thereafter. (It is important to note that there is generally a fee in the form of discount points to buy down a mortgage.)

While some foreclosures can be considered distressed properties, many of these cases are well-maintained homes, simply examples of owners who could not keep up the payments during these hard economic times.
