There is a Special Government Home Renovation Loan Program with Colleyville TX FHA 203K Renovation Loans. Many are not aware of a special government loan program that is actually a part of FHA (Federal Housing Administration- a department within HUD). A buyer or existing home owner can do meaningful amounts of remodeling or updates to their existing home without having a higher cost second lien thanks to this special FHA loan program. Items like a hot tub and a swimming pool are not allowed by this FHA loan program. You can repaint, remodel cabinetry in kitchens and bathrooms, replace appliances and flooring, add wallpaper, or even add a room to an existing structure (which will increase the value of your home because of more square footage). There are many advantages with this governme...

Have you ever heard the phrase the ink is still wet? This is that market! This spring I am very happy to report every one of my listings are sold or under contract. That's right. Zero available inventory today. I would say I have some, because I have pocket listings coming up and I have agents taking listings daily, too, but, as soon as I say it, we sold it. Literally had a house this season I sold before pictures posted online. For real!  Spring 2013 - I think I'm in love! One property I enjoyed this spring is photographed at left on a fantastic sunny Colleyville, Texas day. This property was owned by a local firefighter and appraiser and his sales career wife. He and Blondie and I all weighed in our pro opinion on pricing, as we all have good experience and pro opinion to do so. Think...

Colleyville home owners are celebrating a new report that says that U.S. employers added 236,000 jobs last month, dropping the unemployment rate to 7.7%. After a week of stock market rallies, this is just the latest indication that the economy is continuing to recover. The report pointed to robust home sales and residential construction, indicating that higher priced homes tend to make those with money more likely to spend. This, in turn, has given businesses and employers renewed confidence, allowing them to create more jobs and add employees. The 7.7% rate is a decline from January's 7.9% rate, and also is the lowest unemployment rate in four years. Experts say job gains were broad-based, and that wages continue to increase as well. On average, over 200,000 workers have been hired per...

Colleyville home owners are proud of Toni Byam-Pirotte, an art history teacher at Colleyville High School, who received Texas A&M's 2012 University Inspiration Award for Exceptional Secondary Education. This is the first award of its type to be sponsored by a public Texas university. Former student Michael Preston, who recently graduated from Texas A&M on December 15, nominated Byam-Pirotte for the award. She was recognized during the commencement ceremony and was presented with a check for $2,000. The high school will also receive $1,000. Preston says he nominated his former teacher because she both inspired and challenged him. He adds, "I picked the class because of the rumor that it was an easy A.

Good Lord!  Even the fish are dying from the heat!   Colleyville, Texas (Tarrant County) officials are blaming the unrelenting hot weather for dozens of dead fish, including catfish and bass, in Colleyville's Kimsey Park pond.   Temperatures have reached over 100 degrees for 24 consecutive days in a row in Dallas/Fort Worth.  Rafe Brock, a fishery management biologist for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's DFW district says that these dead fish, died from a depletion of oxygen from the water due to the heat. "As the temperature increases, [water's] ability to hold oxygen decreases," he said. "We're getting surface temps close to 90 degrees..."  It was estimated that Grapevine Lake water temperature was 92 degrees this weekend, which is very close to Colleyville's Kimsey Park pond...

Another short sale closed! The sellers avoided foreclosure, the buyers purchased a nice home at a discount, and the lender did not have the losses involved with a foreclosure. Many people feel that the nation's economy rises and falls with the housing market. While this is often true, we believe the current housing crisis is a direct result of the economic downturn and massive job loss across the nation. In the Short Sale community, the vast majority of homeowners did not get a bad loan or buy more house than they could afford; they're just good, hardworking Americans who fell on bad times. All indicators point to Short Sales being on the real estate horizon for the foreseeable future, at least through 2012, and maybe longer. We encourage homeowners across the United States to get educa...
