  2. Whew. Today I did a lot...

    1) had an appointment with a new doc who wagged her finger at me about my weight and my blood pressure.
    2) paid a $1600 deposit to my realtor
    3) paid a $500 inspection fee to have my potential new home inspected
    4) paid a $750 appraisal fee to the mortgage company.

    Oy. I'll be glad when I'm moved into the new place, Lord willing and the creek don't rise.

  7. Buyers Advice – Location Location Location

    It’s the three words that home buyers constantly hear: “location, location, location”. That’s because location is a key reason why home buyers will purchase one dwelling over another, regardless of what the home offers. Why? Fixtures and fittings are changeable but location isn’t. Nearby amenities, particularly rapidly evolving ones, will also add to the property value. But exactly what makes a great location? One word: convenience. With busyness now the average way of life, time is more treasured than ever. So, search for a property within a 10-minute drive of a grocery store and other basic retail points such as a gas station, schools and medical facilities. Home buyers in urban areas may also be keen to live close to a larger shopping mall. Other things to consider: School proximity
    • Locations close to top-notch educational facilities are a driving force for home buyers, including those currently without children but planning to have them in the future. Even those planning never to have children should check this point as school proximity can add to home values.
    Transport convenience
    • Whether by road or public transport, this is another major location key, especially when it comes to an easy commute to employment, schools and everyday facilities. Also check on current and upcoming transport developments in the area.
    Entertainment
    • While not as crucial, entertainment and recreational facilities should not be forgotten when it comes to ideal locations. Think public parks, walking trails, sporting facilities, pools, bars, restaurants, cafés, museums, art galleries and everything in-between. Parents will particularly prefer an easy commute to local sports fields.
    Do your research! The best way to check a property location is to drive or walk around the area at different times of the day and week. Inspect all facilities close to the home and talk to people including  local residents and store owners.

  8. Dallas Area Residential Sales Report – Town Homes Carrollton, Texas

    As an experienced Realtor, I can tell you that the townhome market in Carrollton, TX during October 2025 continued to appeal strongly to buyers who want the convenience of low-maintenance living without sacrificing the feel of a residential neighborhood. Townhomes in Carrollton offer a blend of modern design, functional layouts, and community amenities that attract both first-time buyers and those looking to downsize. Buyers this fall found a market shaped by steady builder activity, thoughtful neighborhood planning, and a demand for homes that provide an easier lifestyle with quick access to major employers, shopping, parks, and entertainment. For you as a potential buyer, this means options that balance comfort, style, and value—while still giving you the sense of “home” that many seek beyond traditional condo living. The atmosphere of the market this season felt confident and balanced, making it a strong time to explore opportunities and secure a property that fits both your lifestyle and long-term goals.
