June 29th, 2009 · No Comments

Austin has recently had a hail storm that caused sweeping damage across large areas of Austin and the surrounding areas.

Many homes have had their roofs damaged during the storm.  It will be important when evaluating homes to move into,  that the roof is in proper condition.

If a roof is not in good condition,  it may allow an individual to reduce their offer for a house,  allowing them to save money temporarily until the roof can be fixed.

Investors Worry About Office Value Drop

June 19th, 2009 · No Comments

Investors across Texas are worrying about the potential for office building prices to drop in value over the next year.

With the shaky economy,  many worry that businesses will not be able to afford the higher priced office buildings.  This will leave vacancies in the more expensive properties,  possibly driving down prices.

If the economy can improve significantly over the next year, prices may not drop a lot,  but a drop is still expected.

The major areas affected by this would be Dallas, Austin, and Houston.  It will be interesting to see how each local market handles this situation.
