            <title>High Tech Houses that Have it All</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
If you are looking for a house and want to have one which is high on the high tech side of the equation there are many out there just for you.  Depending on what you are looking for you will have many options but there is one particularly that will absolutely have everything you can possibly imagine.It starts with retractable walls that you can move in and out depending on what size room you want – perfect for that large holiday dinner.  It also features a retractable roof for those nice, star filled nights.  The windows are all automated for opening and closing as are the doors.  All are on remotes and can be accessed through a computer as well.  The windows shades and all other coverings can be adjusted simply by working the remote for the window you desire. Moving on to outside it has a geothermal HVAC system, which makes it not only high tech, but also very green.  The lighting in the entire yard is automated and computer accessible, and there is a state of the art sound system throughout the entire yard.  The yard has a covering which protects the outside entertainment area which features a television, DVD,  and a seating area.  The pool is geothermal heated and includes a spa that is state of the art, and green as well as modern.   To put a final flair on the yard, there is a one-touch fire pit to enhance the ambiance in the yard at night. The garage area is completely automated with the garage door, the security system, the rotating shelving for ease of accessibility for the tool you are looking for and the driveway lighting is solar, driven by the sun, again making the house high tech and green.  Back on the inside every appliance is state of the art energy efficient.  The two oven stove allows for multiple meals to be made at once.  The flat top stovetop is a 6 burner unit with a warming area.  The refrigerator is a large state of the art unit with many accessories.   There is a second to none audio/visual room which extends throughout the home with recessed speakers and the overall sound system is, as you might have guessed, accessible both by remote and your computer.  There are not many houses like this one, but if you are lucky enough to be able to afford a house with this much high technology, the only thing you will have to worry about is getting out of bed in the morning to enjoy it.  And even that can be programmed.

            <title>Using the Internet to Sell Your Home</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ Given the fact that most homebuyers use the Internet to aid them in their search for a home, using the Internet as part of your marketing strategy is an important step toward getting your home sold. After all, the more people who are able to see your home, the more likely you are to find an interested buyer. Therefore, if you are serious about getting your home sold, it is a good idea to talk it over with your real estate agent in order to develop an effective Internet marketing strategy.

Listing Your Home Online

When it comes to listing your home online, there are many websites available. The most technologically-savvy real estate agents will have websites for their own business and will list homes on directly on their sites. There are also many websites that are dedicated to helping those who are trying to sell their homes on their own. Listing a home on these sites is not free, however, so you should be prepared to spend at least a few hundred dollars to list your home there. When hiring a real estate agent, on the other hand, listing your home on the Internet should be included as part of the marketing plan.

Sharing Photos

Aside from reaching more people with the help of the Internet, you can also share more information online than you can in a simple classified ad. Furthermore, you can show more pictures than you could with a magazine ad or any other form of advertisement. The more pictures potential buyers can view of your home, the better they can determine if your house is a good match for their needs. While the photos may cause some potential buyers to turn away from your home, these are generally the ones who would not have made an offer to begin with. By narrowing down potential buyers to those who would be truly interested in purchasing your home, your agent can focus all of his or her energy on the best prospects.

Creating a Virtual Tour



The Internet is also an excellent tool for creating a virtual tour. Virtual tools take photographs to a whole new level by offering panoramic views of the rooms in your house. To create a quality virtual tour, your agent will need to use good lighting as well as a quality camera. He or she will then need to use software to create the final tour. When interviewing real estate agents, be sure to ask about virtual tours and to find out if one will be created as part of your agent’s marketing strategy. In some cases, creating a virtual tour will require paying an extra fee, but the cost may be worthwhile if you want to create the best marketing strategy possible.

            <title>Seller’s Checklist: Waterfront Properties</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ Many people who put waterfront homes on the market think their homes will sell themselves. While this may have been true a few years ago, the reality is that the economic downturn has made it more difficult to sell even the most beautiful homes in the most attractive locations. Furthermore, even if the home will be an easy sell, you certainly want to get as much money for the property as possible. To get your home sold quickly and to make the process of selling your waterfront home as easy as possible, be sure to keep this checklist in mind.




Get an Appraisal

The first step to selling a waterfront home is to get an appraisal, but be sure to work with someone who specializes in appraising waterfront properties. After all, regardless of whether offering Admirals Cove or Lake Austin homes for sale, waterfront real estate is a niche market, so you want to be sure the person you hire is someone who is experienced and knowledgeable in this area.

Consider Making Upgrades

Oftentimes, making even the simplest of upgrades can help increase the value of a home while getting it moved off the market more quickly. This is particularly true with waterfront homes, as most people who are interested in purchasing a waterfront property are looking for a home with high-end features and modern equipment. Some renovations to consider include installing new windows, remodeling the patio or deck and taking steps to enhance the water views.

Clean and Declutter

Clutter is a huge no-no when selling any type of property, but it is particularly problematic with waterfront homes. Remember, you are trying to sell the buyer on the natural beauty of the setting. If your yard is full of clutter or if your windows are so dirty that the buyer can’t fully appreciate the view, you are doing yourself a huge disservice.

Stage the Home

Staging is an important part of selling any home, but it is important to consider the type of property you are selling when it comes to staging a waterfront property. When selling a waterfront home, you have to sell the buyer on the ambience just as much as the property. Therefore, you should take the steps necessary to make your home feel like a true lakefront retreat. Simple things such as placing newer furniture on the deck, adding some beach-related décor and taking other steps to bring the beach into the home will go a long way toward winning over potential buyers.

            <title>FHA Bridal Registry – Little-known Program for the Newlyweds</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ Gone are the days when you gift the newly-weds with bed, bath and things beyond that! Do you know what the recent couples are asking for? Well, with the fluctuating mortgage interest rates post the credit downgrade and the housing prices at their record lows, most couples are asking for financial assistance in the form of down payment under the Federal Housing Administration’s (FHA) Bridal Registry program. With the rising costs of houses and commodities, the newly-weds are clear enough about declining the traditional gifts and asking friends and family members to assist them financially in investing in their first house and building a brighter future.

How did this particular Bridal registry program originate for the newly-weds?

Since 1924, the Marshall Fields Department Stores launched this first ever Bridal registry program so that the couples could facilitate the chance of shopping for their family and friends and also avoiding the chance of receiving any kind of duplicate gifts. It is then only in the year 1997, that this aforementioned bridal registry program was yet again refurbished by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and this was turned into a down payment assistance program for the newly-weds. Though the bridal registry has been around for a couple of years, it is presently getting the added impetus due to the present conditions of the US housing market.

The down payment assistance program – How can the FHA make it happen?

If you’re about to get married or a newly-wed, you can certainly get help from the little-known bridal registry program of the FHA if you’re keen on making your wedding gifts have a substantial financial impact on the rest of your life. You must be aware that with the present economic conditions, it is pretty difficult to save enough money for making the required down payment on a mortgage loan. Most couples think if they could turn the lavish gifts into cash so that they could start off as smart homeowners. Getting hold of generous family members or verifying every gift fund for a down payment is more time-consuming than ever.

During such a situation, you can get help from the FHA streamlined program that provides the opportunity to the prospective homeowner to create a new bank account named ‘Bridal Registry Account’. The wedding attendees, the family members and friends will be provided with the details of this bank account and all the funds that will be accrued in this bank account will qualify for gift funds and can be used to apply for the home purchase for the buyers. There is no further documentation necessary and it is as simple as this. This way, getting closer to that 3.5% FHA down payment will be much easier for all the newly-wed couples, keeping in mind the tight lending standards.



It may happen that you no longer want to use the accumulated money in your account for making the down payment on the mortgage loan; you may simply withdraw the amount. If there’s a celebration approaching and you want to buy a house, you must definitely check out the FHA bridal registry program.

            <description> <![CDATA[ 
I drove by Frenchman's Harbor yesterday evening and was impressed at how far that community has come so quickly!  A friend of mine who is the engineer who designed the bridges within this community let me know that the bridges are all now complete in the community.


So this is what the corner of Donald Ross Road and Ellison Wilson Blvd. looked like not very long ago.





 


And here are some photos taken of the progress in the community.
