Hi Y'all!
If you live in The Woodlands, sign up for your village newsletter. Here is the Grogan's Mill Village Assoc Newsletter. It comes out about once a month. They seem to get better over time. I tend to find things out (like the road tips) here that I don't see other places. They also have occasional coupons!
If you don't live in The Woodlands, then look into to see if your local community has a newsletter. I know that many subdivisions produce them around the area.
It is another way to become in the know!

The market in Grogan's Mill has been relatively strong in terms of average selling price, which has increased 7% between December 2007 and 2009. The market is showing some softness in the fact that the average time on market has increased from 49 days to 65 days (as compared with 6 months for the Houston area and 7 month nationally) in the same period. This is due to an increase in the number of homes being offered for sale. Kayelin Wright's interpretation of the longer time-on-market trend is that buyers trying to take advantage of the first time buyer tax credit had a deadline of the end of Nov....before the president extended this program. It's likely that buyers may have set a goal to contract and set closings for end of October so they were certain to secure this tax benefit. In the overall home sales data for The Woodlands, the $100,000 - 300,000 range was very strong and generally sold quicker at an average of 3 months which reduces the supply in lower priced homes while the higher priced homes were still on the market for sale. The higher end market has been more saturated and tips the scales for a higher average list price, time on market and months of inventory. Monthly real estate information on Grogan's Mill and properties are shown our web site and has been for the past two years. This information has been provided by Kayelin Wright, a Coldwell Banker agent, who keeps our web site up to date on properties. Be advised that the information provided is deemed to be reliable but not guaranteed. It has been reported that Exxon has purchased several hundred acres immediately south of Spring Creek and west of I-45 (where the Parrot stand is) and they will build an office complex over the next four years for 10-12,000 employees. This should increase our home values. | | 2010 Community Elections ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Woodlands Township is gearing up for the 2010 RDRC and Village Election.

The best thing to do is drive to the nearest police or fire station or other heavily trafficked area. He also suggested using common sense when making business bank deposits. If possible have at least two people go to the bank and have the money bag hidden inside some other insignificant looking bag. | |
