Dear readers,
All of a sudden its summer time. The Aggies graduated. The first summer session at Texas A&M & Blinn is underway. Bryan & College Station schools are out, and oh, its getting hot.
We've been very busy, and this is the fist time I've had a moment to update my blog and newsletter. I'm going to hit on a few quick things, and write more about each as June progresses.
First, April College Station home statistics are available on my market reports Web page, http://MarketReports.SamWhiteRealty.com. Truly, the numbers aren't pretty, but fortunately, the arrow on the graph is pointed up. I'll visit more about market conditions later in the month, but let me quickly say that my business is up over the last two years, with active and successful buyers and sellers.
Young buyers should consider the $8,000 first-time home buyer tax credit being offered by our Federal Government. There is also a new program available to help buyers get that money up front. For details, visit my news page at http://facebook.SamWhiteRealty.com. You don't have to be a member of facebook to view articles and links posted there. You can also find more information about the buying process at http://buyer.SamWhiteRealty.com.
Student housing activity remains good, but don't wait to put your student property on the market. For general tips for sellers, visit http://seller.SamWhiteRealty.com.
Parents and students considering buying should visit http://parents.SamWhiteRealty.com and/or http://students.SamWhiteRealty.com for specific information about student properties.
Of course, you can search all properties in the Bryan / College Station Multiple Listing service at http://search.SamWhiteRealty.com.
On a lighter note, tomorrow is the first Friday in June and time to head to downtown Bryan for their usual festivities plus Art Step. It's fun, satisfying (food & drink) and really accents our sense of community. We always hit the Village Cafe and Art979, as well as the Frame Gallery, where I think John Flynn will be hawking What's the Buzz Coffee. All of the details are posted on http://facebook.SamWhiteRealty.com.
Locally, don't forget that College Station water rates are up, and you could get doused watering your lawn this summer. Monitor your consumption. Also, there are several more RED LIGHT CAMERAS operating in town. Turning right on red will get you unless you really come to a complete stop. I encourage everyone in our community to be active and vote.
Blue skies,
Sam White
