Yesterday I got to visit with a homeowner and take a leisurely driving tour through Tech Terrace. Including some great Tech Terrace homes that are for sale by their owner's, there is now a near record number of homes available in this great neighborhood.
If you have time, drive through the neighborhood some morning. It is so quiet and lovely. People are out walking, jogging, taking their pups for an outing. The trees and many of the yards are worth some ooohing and aaahing.
Yesterday I saw a couple of great examples of mid-century modern architecture in Tech Terrace. I tend to photograph the bungalows and cottages that were likely built from 1925 through 1940. However, Tech Terrace homes are as diverse in style as the neighborhoods residents. I took some new pictures yesterday and will post them soon.
I plan to go see my 'good vibrations' home soon. (see previous post) If you want to go with me, please give me a shout and I'll plan around your schedule. If there are any other homes in Lubbock you want to see, give me a call.

Tech Terrace Homes, July 2010
Did you read the news in the Avalanche Journal today about Lubbock's housing market? If not, you might want to check it out. In a nutshell, June 2010 was a slow down month for local housing and we now have just over a 6 month inventory of homes for sale. When our supply of homes tops the 6 month mark it typically shifts some control to buyers. There is more supply than demand right now so sellers should be sure their home is priced to beat the competition (other homes for sale in your area) and is in tip top condition.
There are 58 Tech Terrace homes for sale today per the MLS. If you are an investor or are not opposed to some traffic noise, check out the homes for sale that are located on the corner of Indiana avenue. The home located at 3318 25th is one example. It has 3 bedrooms and 3 baths and is priced at 130K which is only $42.79 per square foot...compared to the neighborhood average of $86.70 per square foot.
I plan to see this Tech Terrace home in person soon because just from reading about it and viewing the listing I get really good vibes. So I'm calling it my Good Vibrations Pick of the Week. Take a look at 3209 28th Street! This home is located on a great street in Tech Terrace, has 2180 square feet, and is priced at only $183,500.00. An easy walk or bike ride to Texas Tech University. Okay, to tell you the truth, they had me at "Santa Fe style". The photos live up to the verbage. Go to my website, www.lubbocktxrealtor.com and do a search for this cool home and if it gives you good vibrations too, call me. I will make an appointment. Don't wait...I don't think this home will last long!
I love working with buyers and sellers and know the Lubbock real estate market. And I especially love working with those buying and selling Tech Terrace real estate. If you have a favorite home in the area, a yard of the month that needs to be recognized, or want to go see some Tech Terrace homes, give me a call or send me a note!
