Sam White's College Station Real Estate Blog

Dear readers,

This weekend, June 17-19, is special to Aggies and their parents as they come together for Texas A&M University's 2009 Parents' Weekend. There are many great activities. I'll post a schedule at the end of this blog.

Also, he Dixie Chicken is busy today, as many Texas A&M Seniors (whoop!) received their rings this week, and they are flocking to The Chicken to dunk them.

It's an exciting time for everyone. The spring semester is almost over, Aggie Muster is coming up on April 21st, and graduation is just around the corner.

We are looking forward to meeting the families who have appointments with us this weekend. There is a great selection of homes, town homes and condominiums on the market right now. Many are priced to sell.

We have two Websites set up for students and parents looking for Aggie housing:

parents.SamWhiteRealty.com
students.SamWhiteRealty.com

Dear readers,

With parents' weekend coming up in a few days, I want to spend some time talking about College Station condominiums. I've chosen two examples, Fox Run Condos and Woodsman Condos.

Fox Run is known locally as a safe, relatively new upscale complex, located on Luther Street between Wellborn Rd and Harvey Mitchell Parkway. The complex features 2 bedroom/2 bath units located on the ground floor, priced in the $120k range, as well as 3 bedroom/3 bath units located on the second level which are priced in the $140k-$150k range. There is a pool and volleyball courts. The complex is gated, and each unit has an individual security system. For more information and photos, see FoxRunCondo.com.

Woodsman Condominuims, which were constructed in the early 1980's, are located on Longmire Drive in Southwood Valley. These units, built in a Hill Country style with wood siding and real rock, have two distinct floor plans. Both plans feature 2 bedrooms and two bathrooms, with one being slightly larger with vaulted ceilings in the living area. Although this complex doesn't feature a pool, there is covered parking for each unit, which is valuable in College Station during the warmer months. For more information and photos, see WoodsmanCondo.com.

Dear readers,

Spring has sprung in our college town and thoughts are already turning to graduation and the coming academic year. One spring event that students and residents look forward to is Texas A&M University's Parents Weekend.

Parent's Weekend festivities will be held April 17-19 this year, with a long list of activities for Aggies and Aggie parents. They include:

For more information on parents' weekend and activities, see http://parentsweekend.tamu.edu/.

Parents' Weekend is also a great time for residents to show off the College Station community, and is a busy time for the local real estate industry. The student housing market has already picked up, and we are looking forward to meeting many Aggies this spring and summer.

Sometimes it makes more since to buy a home for your student, versus throwing money at rent for four years. We've built special Websites for students and parents considering investing in their future. See:

• parents.SamWhiteRealty.com
• students.SamWhiteRealty.com

One of the misconceptions that we spend a lot of time talking about refer to local market conditions. College Station market conditions are not like the remainder of the United States. For up-to-date local market conditions visit MarketReports.SamWhiteRealty.com.

I hope everyone's week is going well!

Blue skies,
