As Cedar Creek Lake's water level continues to drop during the worst drought in Texas since the 1800s, many of the boat ramps are becoming difficult to use.  We've received phone calls from home owners asking where they can still launch or take their boats out of the lake.  Don's Port / Tiki Hut, in Tool, TX, is in good shape.  The water along the east side of the docks is about 7-8 feet deep today.  While you're at Don's Port, buy some gas without ethanol.  Your boat will thank you, and it's good to support the marina in this tough year for business. 07/28/2011

We hear frequently from our clients that they'd like to wait until the summer months to sell their homes.  They believe homes just don't sell during the "r" months. Sometimes we have the opportunity to re-learn the old adage "Don't believe what you think."  This may be the case for some folks... For the past 3 years, 49% of the Cedar Creek Lake area waterfront homes sold from May-August.  24% sold from January to April and the remaining 27% sold from September to December. Seven homes priced above $1 million have sold from January of 2009 to today.  Only 1 of those sold in the summer months.  To see some of these gorgeous homes, please visit our website: www.cclake.biz. 08/26/2010

Cedar Creek Lake Blog3-24-08The mortgage crunch has effected mostly California, Arizona, Nevada, New York, & Florida. If you can still qualify for a good "old fashioned" loan (meaning decent credit and 5 - 20% down), Texas is one of the best markets in the country right now. Here at Cedar Creek  lake, our waterfront is still appreciating at 5-6% a year! So NOW is the right time to buy that vacation or retirement (or investment) home while the rates are still very low....they won't stay that way forever!Call Me 903-399-2732 03/26/2008
