In my business I see many homes each week. On occasion there are some real standouts in the unique homes category. I want to share one of those homes with you today. There is a Cobb house in Bastrop county for sale. This homes construction is unusual in Texas, but very common in England. When I went to England this spring I saw Cobb houses all over the countryside. This style of home has been around for hundreds of years. The walls are thick and curved and the roof is constructed of traditional thatch. Here are a few pictures to peruse on this cold rainy afternoon. Let me know what you think about this unusual cottage.
Enjoy!

CQ Press an independent publisher just released a list of the ten most dangerous cities in the US. Thankfully Austin Texasis not on this top ten! It seems to be the only one we are NOT on! In this day and age we all want your families to be safe and it gets harder everyday. The weak US economy is making things difficult on more people. The holiday season intensifies things, as fewer people can afford necessities much less luxury items. the holidays also tempt thieves with cars full of shopping bags. Crime rates are on the rise across the country as people struggle to make ends meet. It seems that some people take the criminal way out and hurt others in the process. It is hard to believethat home invasions have become commonplace, when ten years ago they were unheard of. Below is an excerpt from CQ Press's findings. to see the entire list you may go to their website: http://www.cqpress.com/product/City-Crime-Rankings-2008.html
"Find out how your community fares in the fight against crime.

My hometown is Austin Texas and it is fairly walkable, it really depends on what part of town you live in. If you live downtown or in Zilker or Travis Heights or Hyde Park neighborhoods it is very walkable. My house in Zilker is rated as an 82 out of 100 being a perfect walking city score. If you live in the burbs, you may require a car for those trips to the store. Here is a nifty website to see just how walkable your neighborhood is. www.WalkScore.com.

My associate at KB Homes just sent me a list of quick delivery homes in several neighborhoods in and around Austin. There are three homes in Circle C under $300K!! Please take a look and if any of these homes appeal to you, please give me a call and I will send you more details on the homes and take you to go see the homes in person. Remember the Seller pays for my service as a Buyers Agent. So having a Realtor help you with your home purchase still costs you zero. Call me if you want to buy a new or resale home in the Austin area.
Sincerely,
Betina
