Daily Toreador

I was quoted last week in the Texas Tech University newspaper regarding home sales to Texas Tech parents. In essence, the peak of sales for student housing that happens almost every summer did not happen this year. If you read the Avalanche Journal you will see that sales are down some from last year. Still, and at the risk of being a Pollyanna, Lubbock's housing market is strong and thriving. I know if you have a house for sale right now, you likely don't see that. We are in a buyer's market and homes are taking longer to sell and in some cases, seller's are making more concessions to get their homes sold. Still, it can be done. First, have a really fine Realtor on your side. (Give me a call!) Then be sure your home is in tip top condition.

One point I attempted to make in my interview with the writer for the Daily Toreador is that the slow sales of this summer were not limited to Tech Terrace. Initially, she was asking specifically about the Tech Terrace neighborhood, perhaps hoping for some bad news about the area. Despite a few bumps in the road, Tech Terrace is still a popular and wonderful place to live.

I'll end with wishes for a great year for our Texas Tech students and faculty who live here. Also, welcome back to school Roscoe Wilson and Hutch students, staff, and teachers! I hope everyone has a successful and happy school year.
