    Just in case you forgot… 

    What that large orange looking thing is in the sky…

    The sun lies at the heart of the solar system, where it is by far the largest object. It holds 99.8 percent of the solar system’s mass and is roughly 109 times the diameter of the Earth — about one million Earths could fit inside the sun.

    Good Stewards or bad management? 

    Abraham Kuyper, Prime Minister of the Netherlands in the early 20th Century and a devout Christian said:
    “There is not a square inch – in the whole domain of our human existence over which Christ, who is Sovereign over all, does not cry, Mine!”

    From Kirby Anderson’s Articles on the Founding Fathers of America… Jesus Christ is Lord of ALL. And without the Bible, America would not have been born.

    But who teaches you that today? Have we been good stewards – and protected the gift God gave us in America?

    Rememberance 

    Was thinking of Janice Wilson today as it is her birthday day. Janice was one of those folks I always liked being around or just chatting with on the phone. Sure glad I got to spend a little time with her before she passed. I was blessed by knowing her the short time I did.

    Homeowner Tax Relief Proposition 

    One of the things that Proposition 1 will do along with lowering property tax, especially helping seniors and people with disabilities by giving them much-needed tax relief is constitutionally ban real estate transfer taxes, which target home sales as another taxing source. This means that Texans won’t ever be double-taxed on their property.

    Over the years many of the Realtor’s I’ve met through leadership at the local and State levels in States that had enacted these “real estate transfer taxes” said was if this ever comes to your State fight it. They stated that the transfer tax started out fairly low but within a few years had increased and become a tremendous tax burden.

    Well, we’ve been fighting this now for several years and this time we have an opportunity to put a complete stop to it!

    See more information at: Texans for Proposition 1

    More good news regarding our State of Texas Real Estate Market 

    Per the Real Estate Center at Texas A&M Texas home prices, per the latest Multiple Listing Service (MLS) data show Texas home sales had a 9 percent year-over-year increase last month while the median price was up 5.9 percent. Months’ inventory was at 3.6 months. Real Estate Center economists consider 6.5 months a balanced market. Also construction on new homes in Central Texas jumped nearly 8 percent in the third quarter as builders began making up for time lost because of bad weather earlier this year.

    If you are thinking of selling it’s still a very strong sellers market but to all you folks interested in homeownership, moving to a larger home or downsizing, with continued low-interest rates it’s a great time for you as well.

    Thinking about purchasing a new or pre owned home? Why not consider keeping your current home as an investment property by leasing it? It could be a great opportunity to add income and even funds toward retirement! Call or email me to find out if your situation would work for this or if you would just like more information on purchasing investment property. I have provided professional leasing and property management for over 24 years and know the ins and outs of whether it is a good idea for you to lease out your home and if you would even be able to do it at this time.

    Correct knowledge is power and finding out the correct information is the best way to get started! If you like I can email you my leasing and property management synopsis as well.
