"No Real Estate Bubble or Recession in Texas!"
July 27, 2010
It's a great day to be in Real Estate in Texas!!! Not only has the market been steady for a number of years without any blips in the radar, but Texas has kept the pricing of it's homes consistant for many years! What recession? Here in Texas, everything's bigger... just not the price of great home you truely desire. Read this article from Marketwatch.com , and learn just how well the Lone Star State is doing in Real Estate.
Take a look at this chart from Carpe Diem...
You can see just how much Texas (the light blue line) was not affected by the recession. No Bubble here!
MarketWatch's Kurt Brouwer writes "Apparently, there is at least one exception and that is the recent and unlamented real estate bubble that is rocking states from Florida to California. Somehow, Texas managed to avoid the huge upswing in prices."
This real estate success in Texas is largely due to less restrictive land use regulations when compared to other states. Brouwer states, "Unlike Texas, all of the markets with steep house price escalation had more restrictive land use regulations. This association between more restrictive use regulation and higher house prices has been noted by a wide range economists, from left-leaning Nobel Laureate Paul Krugman to the conservative Hoover Institution’s Thomas Sowell."
It's a perfect time as any to move to or buy a home in Texas!

Government Affairs MythBusters: 2 False eMails in Circulation!!
Two e-mail chains have circulated among members and are generating a lot of confusion
in the REALTOR® ranks. Both are wrong!!
1. “ Homeowners Listen Up”
Claim: Pending legislation in the Senate would require an energy license or retrofit for home sales.
This email is FALSE: There is no requirement in H.R. 2454, The American Clean Energy & Security Act, that home sellers obtain either a license or energy audit or make energy retrofits before they can sell their home. The legislation, earlier passed by the House, is pending in the Senate.
For more information on the energy bill, contact:
Austin Perez, 202-383-1046, aperez@realtors.org
2. “ National Real Estate Transfer Tax” E-mail
Claim: The health care bill contains a 4.0 percent “transfer tax” on homes sales.
An opinion piece in the Spokane, Wash., Spokesman-Review last month FALSELY reported that the health care bill contained a provision for a 4.0 percent “sales tax” or “transfer tax” on the sale of a home. This e-mail was circulated far and wide, and is inaccurate.
- The new Medicare tax will take effect January 1, 2013.
- The legislation makes no changes to the mortgage
interest deduction.
care legislation, contact: Linda Goold, 202-383-1083, lgoold@REALTORS.org

Importance of Caravans!
July 15, 2010
Century 21 United Northside holds "Caravans" every Wednesday at 1:00pm. An agent volunteers to present one( or two if near to each other) of their homes listed to their fellow agents. The home and agent is then evaluated by their colleagues.
How does this help our agents you wonder?
Team Northside stresses Caravan participation because inevitably, the duty call will come in and these agents will be able to sell these properties and close for an appointment with their "product knowledge". Knowing the inventory is essential in sales--you must know your product to sell it. Not only is the Listing Agent practicing showing their property, but fellow agents are gaining product knowledge of listings other than their own!
If you can provide a customer a clear perspective of a home over the phone then you have a better chance of reeling them in for an appointment due to your strong product knowledge base.
