I Love Texas

Gun, I live about an hour from San Antonio and my brother lives in San Antonio, off Bandera in Live Oak area.  He just had a pool put in at about $45,000 for in ground pool.  His previous house had an above ground pool.

House looks nice.   Once you get settled in and finish your WAPs testing we should plan a get together ( I cant believe you have to test during a move, thats like extra stress:confused: )

also Bill Miller BBQ is to barbeque like MacDonalds is to Hamburgers.  Rudy's is the way to go.  ;)

That wasnt a very nice thing to say you greifer :)

As far as BBQ places go the small mom and pop ones are the best I think. Rudy's is good, but there is better.

WOW,  and I liked Miller's too.  Guess I'll have to try rudy's when i get back here.  Either way I think I make the best ribs ever made ;) .  You know you are in Texas when the local grocery store is selling cut in half 55 galon drums painted black as BBQs/Smokers right out front for under $70.00.  

I almost went looking thourh the HEB for Blue Bell......I lacked time though and Home Depot was calling me.  :aok

I am a Realtor in Austin for the past 8 years. The prices have been going up and Austin has grown withis this increase. Yes you can buy a house like Guns but its not going to be downtown. Most of my cali clients think that Texas has these LOw Low prices but its not the case. Their are some great buys but you need to look around for them. Gunslinger if they are building homes around that area if so do not sell for 5 years. I see people move and a year later sell thats really bad. Most new construction areas will not bring the resales up for some time. Good luck good to see ya back in Texas..

Whats the builders name?

The builder is KB.  Them and Centrex (?) have a bunch of projects out here being the main two builders.  The home itself still has 5 years on the builders warrenty.  They are still building IN the subdivision itself so I figure that's a good sign that the area is still growing.

Shop around for your note! Closing cost are killing some buyers under 150k also if they are paying closing cost make sure you can use the full amount. I closed one a month ago because my buyers bank would only allow 2500 to go to his closing cost. He had 500 on the table after closing ):

I lucked out there.  I'm doing a VA loan so alot of the costs are fixed.  I put down $1k in Earnest money, the seller agreed to $3500 in costs and I can roll my VA funding fee into the loan (usually 2.1%) so that will probably leave me with next to nothing out of pocket closing costs.
