In a town of 15,000+ residents, with 80%  living in apartments, there aren't many non-investment properties to begin with. The problem of low inventory has not bypassed Addison. For a while last year, we were down to a supply of just 3-4 homes for a few months.Inventory started to ease a few months ago, but never reached more than a dozen or so properties for sale at any one time. And some of those properties are incomplete new construction, so if you wanted a move-in ready home, your choices were further reduced.But now we're back to single digit inventory. Three of the available homes are over $1M. Another one is incomplete new construction. Three of the under $1M properties are single family homes, two are townhomes, and one is a condo. The market may be shifting around us, but here ... 06/10/2022

While there's no Sam Malone (Ted Danson), Norm Peterson (George Wendt) or Carla Tortelli (Rhea Perlman) at the Vitruvian Park Tavern, there is the smiling proprietor, Craig Vaught, happily serving up drinks and eats at this upscale neighborhood hangout. It is located at 3870 Ponte Avenue in Addison, Texas, just north of the red bridge. I was there recently for a real estate networking function and got to experience VPT first hand. The event planners provided drinks and appetizers and I can personally vouch for the frozen pina colada, served in a pineapple glass, and the mouth-watering fried cauliflower. The kitchen is open from 2:00 pm - 10:00 pm and the bar from 2:00 pm til midnight. They also offer a weekend brunch (both Saturday and Sunday) between 11:00 am and 4:00 pm.The sophistica... 04/10/2022

Once upon a time, there used to be an unsightly Super 8 Motel on Beltway Drive in Addison, Texas just west of Midway Road. The motel burned down several years ago and eventually what remained of the motel was bulldozed. The lot was listed for sale, but sat vacant.Over a year ago, Cobalt Homes began discussions with the owner of the property about purchasing the lot. In February, these developers of small, infill communities reached out to the nearby home owners to get some input. As if in a fairy tale, they actually listened to the residents and made changes to their plans based upon those suggestions. The Planning and Zoning Committee approved the updated zoning change plans, and last month the town council did, too.Welcome to Addison, Cobalt Homes!Townhomes Approved at Former Super 8 ... 04/04/2022
