2010 SCHOOL RATINGS are in. Lots of A+ grades for Austin Area Schools

At 1:00 pm on the 31st of July I was glued to the Texas education agency website as they released the latest campus accountability ratings for Texas public schools. Professionally, in that as a Realtor my clients seem to appreciate it when I can speak intelligently on the quality of the public schools in any given neighborhood.

As a Cedar Park resident and with many of my clients in the Leander ISD and Round Rock ISD I was go pleased to see that most of the area elementary schools were rated exemplary and now several of the local middle schools had increased in rating. Just one more reason why AUSTIN TEXAS is the place to buy real estate...

To see the 2010 accountability ratings click the following link: http://www.tea.state.tx.us/ or call me and I will gladly get you a brochure with all the school ratings. Until next time, STAY COOL!

4.375% Interest Rates... Are We Dreaming?!

Interest rates this low sounds like the stuff homebuyers' dreams are made of; but this is reality! It is such an opportune time to be on the market for a great home and Austin, Cedar Park and Round Rock are no exception.

Don't let the fact that the first time homebuyers' credit has expired hinder you from exploring the fantastic listings that are available. In the long run, having low interest rates on your mortgage puts you at an even greater advantage than the federal tax credit.

According to the Wall Street Journal, "The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 4.57% for the week ended Thursday, down slightly from the prior week's 4.58% average and 5.2% a year ago. It is at the lowest point in (Freddie Mac's weekley) 39-year survey."

These record low mortgage rates should be inspiring you if you're in the position to buy a home.
