My office is doing something fun today I thought I'd share.  As I'm sure you've heard, Keller Williams Realty is all about "Culture."  The whole idea of "sharing and caring" as to unite this company as one "family" as oppose to 80,000 individual units.  I think this is oh so important when choosing an office.  I like the feeling that my fellow agent is my co-worker, my friend - not my enemy.  We welcome eachother into this company and do what we can to assist others in achieving success in this crazy industry.  We learn that if we work together to create a win-win for our clients, everything else will fall into place and work itself out.  I like this mindset and this is one of the main reasons I chose Keller Williams.  I've been in those negotiating situations in which the other agents ...

I recently stumbled upon this small townhome development in the Lower Greenville area of Dallas.  This are 5609 Lindell Avenue and 5613 Lindell Avenue.   These are two buildings of 5 units each with a shared gated drive between the two buildings.  There are apparantly two different floorplans in each building.  Units 1,3, and 5 have one floorplan with units 2 and 4 having a slightly different layout.  The buildings are not mirror images of each other, but a flip of the plans.  Each of the townhomes has two bedrooms and two or two and 1/2 bathrooms and a two car garage.   The layout has of course the garage on the ground floor, as well as the laundry, and a small tiled room as the interior entry from the garage that is great for bike and toy storage, a small office, or just a great mud o...

Did you ever eat at a little "hole in the wall" type of restaurant and fall in love with their food?  You kept going back for years and years and eventually when you are not paying attention, they become a chain? Well that's what happened to me and my love affair with Dodie's Seafood Cajun Diner. I was first introduced to Dodie's back in 1991 when I first moved to Dallas.  My cousin Abby and I used to go to their first location at 2129 Greenville Avenue, a few blocks away from Abby's house at the time, and chow down on some very authentic Louisiana style Po Boys.  The food was always good and the beer was always cold... that makes for a winning combination in my book. Over the past 18 years, Dodie's has been a regular on my eating circuit.  It became even more convenient for me when my...

The Dallas Observer publishes a great article on teh tale of two different neigborhoods. CHeck out http://www.dallasobserver.com/2009-01-29/news/empty-victory/1 or see below: Dallas' Victory Park Struggles to Deliver a Win Blame it on a bad economy, a bad idea or both. Ross Perot Jr.'s glitzy downtown district is in big trouble By Matt Pulle Published on January 28, 2009 at 2:19pm In October 2007, Dallas businessman Ross Perot Jr. was featured in a USA Today story about the unlikely rise of urban living in Texas. Photographed on the balcony of the towering Ghostbar, at the apex of the posh W Hotel, Perot looked confident as he discussed why developments such as his Victory Park-a $1 billion glimmering collection of high-rises, pricey restaurants and shops jutting from the American Airli...

The Big Picture.  Things are pretty good here on Lower Greenville. Despite the dismal economic news, interest rates are good, prices are mostly holding and homes are selling. Even though Dallas saw a 35% decline in home sales in November compared to November 2007, our neighborhood faired well for the most part. Lot purchases continue to be non-existant and new development condos are moving slower than the developers would like, but the mainstay of our area, the older single family homes, are still moving. Original Homes: Inventory was reduced considerably in Dec. for the older original homes from 107 to 89 bring us down to 7.5 months of inventory. Considerably better than the Dallas average and not too far off from the ideal level of 5 months. The AVERAGE selling point is still $190/ft ...

WIN SOME, LOSE SOME.  October was a pretty tough month for Lower Greenville. At the end of the month there were a lot of homes under contract looking to close in November, so hope remained. The good news is that those homes did in fact close. Not as many as July, but pretty good for a November. On the downside, lot values are not looking good. Could this be a bubble? Stay tuned.... Original Homes: The smaller, original homes are the strongest part of the market here. They comprise the most sales, fetch the highest $/sqft and are generally what people have in mind when they say "I wanna live in Lower Greenville". Inventory dropped from 125 to 107 homes this month and 18 sales were recorded (compared to 11 in Oct.) We have right at 6 months of inventory in this part of the market which is...
