Prepare for traffic: Texas A&M students make the world go round

If you have enjoyed smooth drives to the grocery store over the holidays, you might want to invest in a stress ball as all the Texas A&M students arrive for the upcoming semester. Everyone is familiar with seasons, but here in Bryan College Station we have a couple different kinds of seasons. There is the holiday season when Bryan College Station is a relatively calm and peaceful place, and there is the traffic season when Texas Aggies roam the streets at all hours of the day. I wouldn’t have it any other way. Many of us were in their shoes not too long ago, and we were just as guilty for the traffic jams and half hour Wal-mart lines. The influx of students does not just affect the traffic. Those same students feed our local economy, and yes even our real estate market. Many small business owners are ecstatic to see their customer base return home and begin pumping money back into our local economy. It is because of this influx of students that our real estate market has been so lucrative over the years, especially in the arena of multi-family housing. When I first moved to Bryan College Station I often heard phrases like, “Wow they sure are building a lot of apartment complexes”, and I think I have heard similar phrases every year since then. They keep building them, and the students keep filling them up. Granted, there is pretty much a unanimous consensus among economist that we need to slow down the production of new homes and multi-family developments to bring the supply and demand back to a comfortable equilibrium, but overall we can look at the traffic jams and the Wal-mart lines around us and know that the Bryan College Station real estate market is sustained by the blood, sweat, and tuition money of Fightin’ Texas Aggies.
