How do I sell my House FAST? This is a question that, as Realtors, echoes in our ears on a daily basis. Believe me when I say that you are not alone in your desire to get out of the old house and into your new dream home in a hurry! Everyone wants to get their house sold quickly, but there is always one tiny reservation. . . "BUT I don't want to come down in price." This is inevitably followed by a plea for help. Is there anything that can be done? If you find yourself currently in this situation, you are in luck. Now is a great time to get your house on the market for eager buyers to see! The Bryan/College Station market has not seen the massive deflation that many areas across the nation have. Compared to the rest of the country, in fact, we are relatively unscathed. In addition, there has been an extension and expansion of the federal housing incentive that allows both first time home buyers AND many current home owners to take advantage of up to $8,000 of refundable tax credit. Keep in mind this incentive ends April 30th. This means that buyers...| Discussion: Your Comments Please »

New Lakeridge Townhomes in College Station, TX Expected to Follow The Success of Builders Predecessors
February 1st, 2010 categories: Community Events
Lakeridge Town Homes will mark the 3rd Development from Starfish Development Group here in College Station. The first two, Waterwood Townhomes (2003-2007) and River Oaks (2007-2009), have proven to be well received by both parents/investors and residents alike given their continued demand as premier college living along with the success on the cash flow and property appreciation side of things. Waterwood was 170 units, River Oaks was 97 units and Lakeridge will total 210 units. Out of the current 267 units, from Waterwood and River Oaks townhomes, Starfish Development has only been able to retain 12, which have consistently leased out annually. Since their inception into the real estate market here in College Station, Starfish Development properties have seen an average price appreciation increase of just over 5% ONLY 41 units will be available for move-in come August of 2010. So we are encouraging all potential buyers to strongly consider making a decision in the near future. We have already had much interest in Lakeridge and expect it to only increase. For investor clients, this property bodes well on the cash flow side, and if a move is made in the near future, I do not see an issue with leasing out that...| Discussion: Your Comments Please »
Five Bryan, TX Schools Recognized by NCEA as High Performing Schools!
January 26th, 2010 categories: Community Events
Five Bryan schools have been recognized for achievement by the National Center for Educational Achievement through the Just for the Kids campaign. Bryan High School, Bowen Elementary, Sam Houston Elementary, Johnson Elementary and Mitchell Elementary have been named "Higher Performing Schools" based on achievement in 2009. NCEA uses two measures in the analysis for this recognition: growth and college and career readiness (CCR). Schools recognized for growth achieved better improvement rates for their students compared with other schools with similar demographics. Schools recognized for CCR are the top five percent of schools in the state, based on the percentage of students scoring at or above NCEA's College and Career Readiness Targets.
