If you ask anyone in the greater Little Rock area, Cabot, Arkansas seems to be a blossoming community that is attracting more and more residents each year. Due to it's close proximity to the Little Rock Air Force Base and award-winning schools, families are relocating to this city just 20 minutes outside of the State's capital.  Of the many new developments and master-plan communities in Cabot, Greystone has remained a favorite of many. The Greystone Country Club is known for its challenging golf course, pro shop, restaurant and event spaces. It is common to run into neighbors a couple of nights a week at the restaurant because the food is just that good! (Try the Ribeye steak or French Dip if you plan a visit!)   Affordable living is another great feature of Greystone living, Despite a...

This is a continuation of my last post. I wrote about the number of active homes for sale in the Cabot Arkansas area. The supply of homes listed on the market has dwindled down, there are 26% less homes listed on the market then were a year ago. Homes sales for 2009 are higher in the Cabot area then last year. So why am I listing all these numbers? We need sellers in the Cabot area. I am in the process of posting several posts of sellers that are needed because of limited competition. Here is a perfect example. Homes on 1 acre or more of land under 130K. There are currently only 16 detached homes on 1 acre or more for under 130K listed in the Cabot area. A good majority of buyers I work with request a home with some land. Some buyers I work with are not opposed to land and hardly any bu...

Government loans require a lot of documentation so don't allow yourself or your customer to become frustrated.  It is imperative for everyone to cooperate fully in order to have a smooth government transaction.  Here is just a list of some of the "hold up" items as well as some recommendations on making it a smoother transaction.  Tax returns must be SIGNED and DATED even if they were filed by an accountant or online  (Full return w/all schedules must be included) Bank statements must include NAME of the bank and the customer, Account number, and cover a 30 day history.  If they are online statements they must be printed directly from a secure website indicated by "https" at the bottom of the printout.  If they are provided by a bank employee, ALL pages must be signed, dated, and stampe...

     Well, I guess it is about time that I start blogging.  I read a ton of blogs, on a daily basis, but I never thought I would be a "blogger".  Since this will be my first, of hopefully many, I am going to take this chance to introduce myself, my wife and tell you a little about our family.  After that, I'll tell you the story of how Real Estate found me and a little bit about how we do business.  To start with, I am 28 years old, born in February of 1980.  My wife is the same age, but more beautiful than I ever thought I could catch.  Brains and beauty, I don't know how I keep her.  We have one HANDSOME little sonAustin (AJ) and he is our world!  I would go to the end of the world for them both and will do absolutely all that I can to keep a smile on both of their beautiful faces.  A...

With the negative media on the real estate market, home selling has become tough. In Cabot there are price ranges that are good to be in right now when selling your home. Some price ranges are tough to sell a home in right now. I wanted to give the statistics of homes that have sold in Cabot Arkansas in the past six months.Here are the stats for Cabot homes sold in the past six months:                                                                100K and below          82 Cabot area homes sold100-150K                    175 Cabot area homes sold150-200K                    72 Cabot area homes sold200K-250K                 30 Cabot area homes sold250-300K                    9  Cabot area homes sold300-350K                    5 Cabot area homes sold350K and up               3 Cabot area ...

A recent article was posted that spoke about how officials were trying to relieve some of Cabot's traffic congestion problems. The main thing that stuck out to me in the article was widening 89 and adding turning lanes to the road. The article stated that Highway 89 in Cabot was identified as the third most congested street in Central Arkansas. To view the article go to this link.Good day

Today I just seen a clip on Yahoo that spoke about the foreclosure capital of the America. The article said that Stockton Cal. was the capital. It mentioned that at one time a couple of years ago Stockton Cal. was one of the hot-spots in America for real estate. Home values were booming and then the bottom fell off in 2006.They were interviewing a real estate agent in the area that said 2 out of every 3 homes that were listed were foreclosures or distressed sales. That is incredible! I can not imagine that in Cabot. Right now there are foreclosures in Cabot, but no where near that many. Right now there are not very many homes listed on the mls that are in foreclosure right now. For a list of homes in foreclosure visit my Cabot Arkansas real estatewebsite. Just click the link. Good day

By now we have all heard the news about the real estate market, and now the news about the overall economy. Everyone says a recession is near and the economy does not look good. I graduated college with a minor in economics and I have a little knowledge of what is going on. My opinion is that the national economy is not doing well right now. I do not know enough about it to say I think we are headed for a recession, but I do know that the Cabot Arkansas real estate market is not doing as bad as other markets in the nation. I am not trying to sound like a used car salesman either. I have done research and seen that there has been a slow down in the Cabot Arkansas real estate market, but nothing like the rest of the nation.The good news for Cabot home buyers and investors is that interest...

There was a recent article posted by Yahoo. It highlighted ways to help your home in a down market. Even though I would not consider the Cabot Arkansas home market a down market, there were some interesting tips that may help some Cabot home sellers. 1. Try to look like your neighborsNot physically, but your home should be similar to what other homes in the neighborhood look like. You do not want your home to be the largest home on the block or the nicest. Why? When pulling comparables in the neighborhood (which is what agents and appraisers do) it will be hard to get the added values if your home is much more extravagant. If your home is larger it may be hard to get the same price per square foot as the other homes on the block.2. Keep up the maintenanceRemember to do the odd jobs that...

The National Association of Realtors released an article about expected home sales in 2008.  The article says that home sales are expected to stay steady through 2008 and pick up in 2009. The article states that home sales in the middle of the county are expected to offset the declines in some of the previous hot spots. There are wide variations of housing markets throughout the country. Nearly two thirds of metropolitan areas are showing home increasing home values.I have always said that the Cabot real estate market has remained steady. There has been a decrease in homes sold, but nothing dramatic. You can view in-depth Cabot Arkansas real estate market reports on my other blog. It is located on the home page of my Cabot Arkansas real estate site. Just click the link.Good Day

Orchard Estates is a subdivision located just outside of Cabot with homes ranging from 99K to 125k. Many people like Orchard Estate because it is close to Cabot and new homes can be bought for around a 100k. Austin is approximately 2.6 miles from Cabot Arkansas. There is also easy access to highway 67/167. Homes in this subdivision are selling well due to the price. Here are some pictures of what Orchard estates looks like.               As you can see there are some very nice homes in Orchard Estates and there are a lot of new homes being built.
