Waco, TX

What do you think about this real estate market? I live in Gatesville Texas and work the Waco and Temple areas. I have not seen a decline in home selling or home buying. Business is good in the Heart of Texas. But the media, scares me almost everyday. So I cut the TV off and remember this scripture. "Be Still and Know that I Am God." Psalm 46:10. I remind myself that God is in control and as long as I keep my focus on doing good, and loving Him, He will take care of me. What helps you get up and keep going?

According to the Real Estate Center at Texas A&M University, here is how the month of August 08 broke down in 3 key areas:

1. Sales were up by over 8 percent
2. Median prices were down over 10 percent
3. There was an inventory that reached the nearly 8 and half percent mark.

So in a nutshell, sales are up due to reduced pricing. And we are still clearly in a buyer's market.

Sellers: Don't be afraid to list your home for sale; just don't expect miracles with overpricing. Make sure your home is in the best condition possible and shows well. Make yours the best listing available.

Buyers: if you are thinking of buying, why wait? Prices and interest rates are good. What more could you ask for.

I took some nice photos a couple of weeks back while at Cameron Park where my kids were playing Frisbee Golf. Even with the dry weather, these shots still show how pretty this Waco area really is. Also caught a beautiful sky shot as we were driving home towards China Spring. Hope you enjoy this display of Waco TX Beauty.
