David Singleton, President of a company building a new kind of development in Georgetown, Texas, has recently been going public with a project that I've been hearing about through the grapevine for quite some time.  I had a delightful phone conversation a while back with the gentleman who's planning it.  Goodwater is planned for the former site of the Adkins Ranch on 195 at Shell Road/County Road 143.  The vision that was described to me for the 600-acre subdivision consists of several neighborhoods, surrounding a man-made lake (currently under construction, based on what I see when I drive by the site daily), each neighborhood consisting of a diversity of home styles and prices, from first-time homeowner homes built in bungalow style to three story brownstones with living quarters in t... 08/24/2007

It is amazing to me that the stock market and the housing market can be manipulated by the press to such a point that both can change overnight just by the printed word. 07/27/2007

The market in Sun City right now is a buyers market due to the large amount of inventory on the market. So, buyers, now is your time! This is something that can change overnight to a sellers market. Once the inventory goes down it will turn into a seller's market.Seller's need not fear. Homes are on the market an average of 4 months if priced right and in good shape. Do not let the news media cause you to fear. They sensationalize on one particular area of the market not the market in Georgetown, Texas.Just remember to be patient, there is a perfect home for you. 07/20/2007

Georgetown is growing by leaps and bounds.  In an attempt to guide that growth for the good of the city, the city has put certain parameters in place.  And now we're seeing the results of that effort.  A new subdivision is coming to town - Water Oak at San Gabriel, a conservation subdivision.  Out of 1900 acres (4000 homes, 100 acres commercial/retail, 1500 multi-family homes), 650 acres are being reserved for conservation.  It'll be interesting to watch this development grow and see how well the new rules work.  They're intended to protect our environment as well as the overall ambiance of the area (not to mention our water supply).  I've seen other developments in the works or in the planning stages that reflect this more holistic approach to developing.  Some that are planned or unde... 02/24/2007

Alternative fuels are a hot topic right now.  Well, heck, with first Willie and his BioWillie, and then the President, talking them up, how could they not be?  One major problem remaining, however, is how to get them distributed in the same widespread fashion as fossil fuels.  An infrastructure is needed in order for alternative fuels to be competitive.  What to do?  What to do? Well, CleanFUEL USA, Inc., a Georgetown, Texas, company, and ProTec Fuel Management, LLC, in Florida, are joining together to provide a turnkey solution to this problem. I can't wait until I can fuel up with biodiesel as easily as I can with regular diesel!  02/01/2007
