National Association of Realtors Admits to Overstating Sales

December 14, 2011 Craig Smyser Leave a Comment

The National Association of Realtors (NAR) is downwardly revising home sale numbers dating back to January 2007. As it turns out, they were double counting some houses.

Let me step back a bit to give you the overview of how the numbers are compiled. Most multiple listing … [Read more...]

Miami Beach Condo Sells for Record $21.5 Million

December 9, 2011 Craig Smyser Leave a Comment

A closing yesterday on Miami's South Beach set a record for a condo sale with a price of $21.5 million.

Christmas Light Display at Chinati Court in Cedar Park

December 5, 2011 Craig Smyser Leave a Comment

If you are looking for a great Christmas light display, I suggest going to visit Chinati Court in Cedar Park. All twelve homes on the cul-de-sac are decked out with a dazzling array of lights. Storyboards declare 'Twas the Night Before Christmas,' two Lionel trains run through two yards, Christmas carols ring out, and more. On Friday and Saturday evenings, you can buy hot chocolate and donuts with the proceeds going to Brown Santa of Williamson County (they are also a toy drop off for Brown Santa). Take some time … [Read more...]
