My 2021 Outlook: 

Hope you are well!

As we begin the final month of the wildest year any of us have seen in a long time, I wanted to give you my outlook moving into the new year.

I have an extremely positive expectation for 2021. Especially in the real estate market.

Of course, I could be wrong...nobody truly "knows."

A few things I see that are drastically different from the mid-2000's real estate bubble are:

much stricter lending regulations, third party appraisals, very little speculation, low interest rates, low inventory, high volume of cash on the sidelines.

Even with all the difficulty that went on this year, real estate actually did very well. Our local market values are up about 10% year over year.

With the mortgage rates expected to stay low, I expect steady growth next year as well.

New Updates: 

Hey everyone! Hope you're staying safe out there.

It's interesting to see the effects of COVID-19 by looking at the May stats compared to the same month 1 year ago. Keep in mind with all things real estate, every statistic you see is a LAGGING indicator. This means what were looking at is a snapshot of history, not necessarily what is ocurring right this second.

To that end, we have noticed showing volume and general activity picking up since the Texas quarantine lifted on 5/4 and we believe we're going to see an extremely high volume summer.

Rates are at historical all time lows, Texas is still a great place to move, and there are definitely people around the country still taking advantage of that.

If your personal home loan's interest rate is above 4.25% and you're planning on staying in your home for the next 3-6 years, you ought to seriously consider refinancing.

If you need advice or assistance with buying or selling a home, lets talk about how to get your house ready. We'll show you how to get the most money possible for your house in the least amount of time.

Stay safe out there and make it a great week!

Interest rates are at historic lows right now.

THOUGHT OF THE DAY:

Actions speak louder than words...but not nearly as often.

This photo comes up in our facebook memories every Memorial Day.

When it does we can't stop looking at it.

The resolve of this little boy to be brave in the face of the loss of his father is gut wrenching.

It's an incredible sacrifice made by the soldiers who give up their very lives to the cause of freedom. Then further, the ramifications for their family members is grief carried for a lifetime.

Of all the places each of us could have been born, we are so fortunate to have ended up in the 4% of the world population that is the United States.

Hug your family.

Hug your kids and tell them you love them.

There are some people who would give anything to be able to do that again.

We  hope you are having a great week. Be safe and be well my friends.

Tis'  the season of taxes: 

Hey Everyone! Over the last couple of weeks you have likely received your new property tax valuation. In some cases it may be as much as 4% higher the last year. You generally want to see your assessment at a price that looks like it is 5-15% below what you could ACTUALLY sell for on the open market. Quite a few of you have reached out me with questions about whether or not your assessment this year was fair, especially in light of the situation we're all currently facing. In some of the cases I've researched, the assessors seem to have gotten it right, but in several cases, the assessment was as much as $50,000 too high! If you have any questions about the assessment of your current property value, or if you're wondering if this new valuation is fair, please feel free to reach out to me for a 5 minute phone call and we can run a quick market analysis on your home and subdivision. We'll know in less than 5 minutes if you have a case for protest.   Want to know more about how our team works? Click HERE for our seller info package.
