Depending on which report you were listening to, Georgetown, TX got 13-16 inches of rain in a 24 hr period this week. Here's a video of my neighborhood, Berry Creek, and the golf course that was flooded. As far as I have heard, all the homes were spared....    The flooding to the course is especially disappointing, as major renovations had just been completed over the summer.  But the wonderful management and staff of BCCC will have the course looking great again in no time.   We are again thankful that no homes were damaged.  There were others in Georgetown, unfortunately, who were not so fortunate.  The Red Cross is sending out people to evaluate the damaged areas and provide assistance to those who lost homes and/or belongings in the flood.

Beware of Ant Infestations - Central Texas Rains Drive Ants from the Ground and into Your Homes This week we had record rainfall is many locations around Central Texas.  Georgetown, Texas was one of those locations.  We got well over 5 inches on Wednesday alone.  That's a lot considering how long it's been since our last big rain. One of the things that goes along with heavy rain after a dry spell is increased levels of ant activity.  When it's hot and dry ants tend to seek a cool place to hide out.  Thats means that they will normally stay in the ground when the temperatures are cooler.  When the rains come they are often pushed out of their underground homes and forced to seek shelter in other places. This evening we went in our daughters bedroom to help her get ready for bed we disco... 09/10/2010

Berry Creek stats for August - hot off the press! Let's start with the how many were sold last month - the good news!  We have been moving upward since May on number of units sold.  We are even 60% up from same time last year!  That's great!   The number of units for sale, while up a small percentage (2%) over last year, is actually down from last month by about 8 homes or so....   Now let's talk about median sold price.  While we are slightly down over last year at the same time, we are up a small amount over last month.  That's good, after having drops for the last 3 months.   Finally, we have a rather disturbing average Days on Market report...it's down 8% from last year, but that's little consolation considering August for 2009 and 2010 have the highest numbers for the 12 month peri... 09/09/2010

The Place to Be Friday Nights in Georgetown, TX - Dos Salsa's Tex Mex Restaurant Two weeks ago tomorrow I was out with the kids (my wife had to work late) when our son mentioned that he would like to have his favorite quesadillas for dinner.  After a little bit of interrogation on my part I learned that his favorite quesadillas came from a small, but well known, restaurant in Georgetown, Tx called Dos Salsa's. So, I had the pleasure of dining with our 5 year old son and 2 year old daughter that evening.  And....the food was great.  But, the real eye opener for me was how many people we "ran into" that evening.  We saw friends, family, local business leaders, parents from our kids school, customers, several local Realtors and even a local politician.  It was one of those Who's Who in Geo... 09/09/2010

The card game of Contract Bridge, or Bridge as it is known, is a great game for beginners and masters alike.  Four players in two teams bid on many "tricks" they estimate they can take based on the strength of the cards in their partnership's combined hands. Once they agree, they make a "contract" to try and accomplish their goal.   In Sun City Texas located in Georgetown TX, Bridge can be a wonderful social game and a good excuse to gather friends & neighbors with multiple tables playing at the same time. Duplicate bridge is for the more serious players who want to match their skills against other players of similar caliber. They do so by playing in organized tournaments where the teams all play the same hands over the course of the tournament.  The teams who maximized their score bas... 08/29/2010

      Sun City Texas is Not Just Golf, but Golf Has a Commanding Presence. Sometimes Sun City Texas in Georgetown is mistaken for a "Golf Only" Community, and that if one didn’t play golf there would be little else to do.  That is simply not the case as there are many other active adult pass times other than golf.  However, Golf is one of the central themes in Sun City Texas and does have a commanding presence.

Sun City Texas Legacy Hills Golf  Course Grand Reopening- Sun City Texas will be celebrating the reopening of the Legacy Hills golf course on Saturday September 4, 2010. There will be both an 8:00am and a 1:00pm shotgun. There will be special “Grand Reopening” gifts for all players as well as Hole in One contests (8:00am Shotgun only), beat the pro and superintendent contests on all par 3’s and special offers on new Legacy Hills merchandise.    Legacy Hills was shut down this summer to rebuild a number of the greens and bunkers.  I have been past the course a number of times and it looks great.  I can't wait to get on it and see how it "feels".  I hope I get to be on the course on opening day. 08/21/2010

Announcing Two New Groups In Active Rain Focused On 55+ Active Adult Communities It struck me that there are plenty of agents and brokers in Active Rain that focus primarily on 55+ Active Adult Communities.  It seemed only natural that we should belong to our own group, but I could not find any.  As a result I have created two new groups: ·         55+ Active Adult Communities Specialists Public ·         55+ Active Adult Community Specialists The public group is just that, open to consumers, agent, brokers, or anyone else whose focus is primarily in serving 55+ Active Adult Communities.  The other group is private to industry professionals who want to talk “shop talk” about successful marketing of 55+ Active Adult Communities or other related issues. I hope there is lots of interest a... 08/21/2010
