LAS VEGAS – A weak national economic recovery will slow down the pace of the housing market rebound this year.
Even with an expected 25 percent increase in nationwide home starts, U.S. housing construction will remain at one of the lowest levels in generations. But at least the numbers are moving back up again, economists at the National Association of Home Builders’ conference this week say.
“The builders have been through a really tough time the last three years,” said David Crowe, the builders association’s chief economist. “It won’t be a strong recovery, but it will be a recovery – that’s still very good news.”

Every year Flower Mound has an awesome Christmas parade. There were over 75 floats in the parade this year and many of them were very cool. Of course, Santa also made an appearance which was pretty awesome. If you have never been, please check it out next year. It will certainly be worth it.
We helped you buy and sell your home, we’ll help you protect your home also! The Real Estate Station, led by Ross Johnson made their presence known at the Country Lakes gatering of “National Night Out”. Thanks to everyone that helped out, and we’ll see you again next year

Tuesday, October 6th, Country Lakes participated in National Night Out in Texas once again. More than 200 people attended even in the rain! The Argyle Police Department cooked the hot dogs and sausages while other volunteers helped serve. They also answered questions and handed out information about safety to the parents and trinkets and balloons to the kids. Members of the HOA Committee, Community Watch, Census Committee, and the Denton Police Department were on hand to answer any questions with free information too. The Argyle Fire District was also there to support National Night Out. Ross Johnson and associates from The Real Estate Station sponsored the hayride and other great giveaways while answering any questions about home sales.

I want to thank you, Ross Johnson and other Real Estate Station representatives for coming to Country Lakes’ National Night Out. I’m the Safety Chair for Country Lakes and organizer for the event. I was very excited when Ross said he would sponsor the hayride! I think it turned out great even with the rain! -Deborah Cottle
I love our newest texting technology! It allows us to get instant leads on our listings and it also helps show our sellers who and how many people are requesting information. I especially love how it makes us stand out on listing presentations because it shows we are current on the latest technology. I’ve had several clients and potential leads comment on how impressed they are with us because we offer this service. It makes us stand out against the other agents who still believe in brochure boxes. They are about 10 years behind the tech curve.
We have recently signed a contract to have one of the most innovative tools to come to real estate in 20 years!!!!! TEXT technology!!! if you have an agent that has a flyer box on your front lawn FIRE them please for your own good!! They do not know how to market and I cannot tell you how many opportunities that they are giving away to sell your home!

New U.S. home sales surged 9.6 percent in July, rising for the fourth straight month and beating expectations as the housing market marches steadily back from its historic downturn.
The Commerce Department said Wednesday that sales rose to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 433,000 from an upwardly revised June rate of 395,000.
It was the strongest sales pace since September and exceeded the forecasts of economists surveyed by Thomson Reuters, who expected a pace of 390,000 units. The last time sales rose so dramatically was in February 2005.
The median sales price of $210,100, however, was still down 11.5 percent from $237,300 a year earlier.
There were 271,000 new homes for sale at the end of July, down more than 3 percent from May. At the current sales pace, that represents 7.5 months of supply _ the lowest since April 2007. The decline means builders have scaled back construction to the point where supply and demand are coming into balance.
Buyers, meanwhile, are rushing to take advantage of a federal tax credit that covers 10 percent of the home price, or up to $8,000 for first-time owners. Home sales must be completed by the end of November for buyers to qualify.
Builders and real estate agents are pressing Congress for that credit to be extended. If it isn’t, sales could reverse their upward trend.
