Riverside Texas St. Patrick's Day Parade

Living Lake Livingston ♥ Keep it Simple!

When I see Big Sam (the statue), I know that I have almost made it home. To get to Riverside from Houston on Interstate 45, you simply take Exit # 113 (the 2nd exit after Big Sam.) Go 15 miles on Texas 19 and you've made it to the lake. It's that simple!

Looking for a place to get away? Keep it simple. Make sure that your drive is no longer than 2-3 hours. Anything longer than that will not be used.

What's simple?

• 510 people (Riverside's population)
• Quiet coves - check out the links below!
• Great fishing
• Great skiing - Check out Camp Wake at Bethy Creek!
• Friendly people - Check out the Thomas Lake Road Community Association facebook page!
• Great churches
• Great food - Archie's Restaurant on the River, Daisy's Diner, Tallent's... to name a few.

Here's the BEST thing about living in a small town...

There is no WALMART, no Starbucks, NOT EVEN ONE apartment complex...

I have nothing against any of these things. But when I need them... they are only 20 miles away. I don't need them EVERY day!

Here's some other really good news....

You are SECONDS away from:

• Bell and Ford - A great place to wave run!
• Bethy Creek - Don't be mislead.... this is no small creek!
• Carter's Cove - I love to hang out at the sand bar!
• Carolina Cove - I loved living here!
• Thomas Lake - The heart of Green Rich Shores!
• Trinity River - Our I-45 to all of Lake Livingston!

So... when you get ready to look for property on Lake Livingston... give me a call!

TX: Walker County: Huntsville: Real Estate, Homes for Sale and More!

What's happening in the world of Real Estate in the Greater Huntsville TX area?

I'm glad you asked!

Walker County and the Greater Huntsville TX area offer solid family values in many ways including real estate. Come to Walker Co and you will find lifestyle that is much slower paced than our neighbors to the south, north and west, and relatively affordable homes to boot!

Even at the worst of the "crash" in 2008 (which, by the way is when I chose to enter the world of real estate full time and full throttle), Walker County Real Estate was relatively stable and held its value better than most areas of the country.

Now, whereas the sales volume of closed single family homes in Houston Memorial in February 2012 was $22,568,884.00 and Pending Sales Volume for the month was a staggering $55,360,362.00 and new listings ring in at a whopping $69,382,962.00, Walker County number are, let's say, a study in contrasts.

Houston Memorial Single Family Home Sales February 2012:

Walker County (Area 43) Single Family Home Sales February 2012:

As you can clearly see, this is how the comparison "shakes out"

February 2012 Single Family Home Sales------Houston Memorial------------------Walker County

Closed sales Volume $22,568,884.00 vs. $1,882,495

Pending Sales Volume $55,360,362.00 vs. $3,852,544

NEW Listings Sales Volume $69,382,962.00 vs, $5,341,788

Although the sales volume closed in the highlighted areas are "slightly" different. (yes, that is sarcasm) One point is clear. The momentum building in these very different markets is remarkably consistent. In Walker County, roughly .7% (That's LESS than 1%) of real estate business is transacted as compared with Houston Memorial.

But, it is also interesting to note for the VAST difference in sales VOLUME, the difference in the NUMBER of transactions making up that sales volume is NOT that different. That is why it took closing 70 transactions in 2011 for me to reach a CLOSED sales volume of just over 9M. AND, remember, the real estate transaction is a Real Estate Transaction whether it's 500K or 50K. When looking at Single Family Home Sales, it is still someone's HOME and that is SACRED, regardless of the sales price.

That's another reason I LOVE being as Realtor in Walker County and surrounding areas. I LOVE the fact that buying a HOME is attainable for the average person.

To close 10M in sales volume in 100 transactions just means that I have the privilege of going to 10 times more closings than if the average sales price were 1M !
