College Station Real Estate Market On the RiseThe National Association of Home Builders/First American Improving Markets Index (NAHB/IMI) recently released their report showing which areas of the country indicate an improved local economy. Thanks to its positive job growth, increasing home prices and higher housing permits, College Station is one of 11 Texas cities that have made it onto this list. This proves that the College Station real estate market is on the rise.

The NAHB/First American IMI looks at three factors to determine a which metropolitan areas have shown a measurable improvement: employment, home prices and single-family housing. A rise in jobs, home prices and single-family housing indicates that the College Station real estate market is showing its strength. According to this report, employment levels have increased 4.5%, home prices have gone up 7.8% and permits to build single-family homes has risen by 3%.

The index updates its list monthly using the most recent data available. January's index indicates an 85% increase of housing markets across the country that show a marked improvement from the previous month. December's index contained only 41 markets that had improved. November 2011's statistics showed 30 markets, while October 2011 only had 21 markets showing improvement.

What do these numbers mean for you? If you are interested in purchasing a College Station home, there's no time like the present. With home prices beginning to rise, you'd better start looking now. If you are looking for a wonderful place to live that offers good job prospects and a steadily growing economy, College Station is for you!

Citizen Police Academy in College StationCollege Station makes every effort to get their citizens involved in the community. They truly believe that the more involved residents are in their neighborhoods, the more the city will thrive. That's one of the reasons it's so great to live here. I wrote previously about the Citizen University program taking place later this month where College Station residents can learn about the day-to-day operations of their own local government. Well, the police department doesn't want to be left out. So, they're holding their own Citizen Police Academy in College Station.

Beginning February 7, 2012, the College Station Citizen Police Academy will begin their 10 week free program. Classes will take place every Tuesday evening from 6:30pm to 9:30pm at the College Station Police Department (2611 Texas Ave). During the course of the program, residents will learn about how the criminal justice system operates and the ways you can work with the police to help keep our community safe. In addition to classroom education, students are invited to attend a ride-along with a College Station police officer during one of their actual shifts.

If you're interested in becoming a student of the Citizen Police Academy in College Station, you will need to fill out an application. Applications can be picked up at the College Station Police Department, you can call (979-764-3573) to request to have one sent to you via email, snail mail or fax or you can download an application online by going to their website. All applications must be filled out and turned in by the end of business (5pm) on January 27, 2012. The course is absolutely free but seats are limited. So, apply soon.

Even if you choose not to attend the Citizen Police Academy in College Station, you can help keep the streets of your neighborhood safe by being vigilant to activity going on around you. Please report any suspicious activity to your local police department (College Station: 979-845-2345, Texas A&M University: 979-845-2345, Bryan/Brazos County: 979-361-3888). Since the police cannot be everywhere at all times, they appreciate any help the community can provide. If you see a crime in progress, do not try to stop it yourself. Instead, call the authorities. That is what they are for.
