I hear that 2"-3" is the norm and that no foundation is ever zeroed out? One engineer tells us that it slopes and to have it repaired. The other says there are slight variations but does not suggest any repairs? The slope claiming engineer used a water level. The variation claiming engineer states that a more expensive tool called a zip line level should be used for more accurate measurements? No cracks or sticking windows present. What would you advise to your client?

We have a great new listing at Windsor Oaks Condominiums! 10% Down and 0% financing! You can't beat that! This is perfect for that person trying to close on an exhange before the April filing date!

The old fashion soda fountain is at a pharmacy called Nau's. They make a great burger too! I don't have a picture of the pharmacy, but I will put one up soon enough! Nevertheless I had been enchanted by a few of my fellow team members raving about the neighborhood pharmacy and it's circa 1930's soda fountain! I was drawn to the prospect of having some of my woes magically medicated with a different tasting soda! The fact that I had recently seen the history of soda on the History Channel probably had a bit to do with it as well! Perry and I sat down and stated chatting about the neighborhood and it's charm. We were going to walk across the street to the Galaxy Cafe but decided to enjoy a burger from the pharmacy instead. Man o man was that a keeper! I felt like I was in the Andy Griffith show. This pharmacy, its soda fountain, and timeless wide mouth burger threw me back about 20 years! If ever you have a change to visit Austin, Clarksville captivates what Austin is, was, and aspires to be! I highly recommend the neighborhood!

We receive negative energy here in Austin when we are compared to the rest of the world. Fortunately for me for the last few weeks I have seen a flurry of activity reviving the faith in Austin and a few other metro cities. Here is a great link about the 10 Least Most Stressful Metros, and how Austin is among the LEAST stressful metros at number 5! Does anyone else have a great story to share about Austin? If so, I would like to know.

Everywhere you turn you see another market reporting record losses from stocks to residential equity in homes. Only Austin seems to be chugging right along. Not to say that things have been unaffected, 30% less people qualify these days since the sub-market slow down. Things seem to be going back to the way I remember when I was growing up with mostly FHA. That's not so bad, with Affordable Housing Programs, sub-prime just take more effort and paperwork.

I wan't to know what the average consumer is WILLING to pay. What do you think they would pay for an average 700 sq. ft. 1 bedroom place near Downtown? You can see what I thought of at Commercial Property News.
