Buda is a thriving small community southwest of Austin in the Texas Hill country. Buda was settled in 1881, and originally named Du Pre, but in 1887, the town changed its name when the residents realized there was another Du Pre, Texas. The town was founded on the route of the International-Great Northern Railroad, which traversed a route from Austin to San Antonio in the 1800s, and the town's early residents named the streets either for well known types of trees or local cities, such as San Marcos and Austin. The population of Buda was reported to be just over 2,400 inhabitants at the time of the 2,000 census, although it is estimated that the population has doubled since then. The area of Buda is 2.4 square miles, with just 0.41 of the area being water, and the city is situated 13 mil... 12/03/2008

Well we all thought the schools in HAYS CISD were improving and now we have the proof.  Barton Middle School went up to a Recognized Status this year along with two of the elementary schools Buda Elementary and Kyle Elementary bringing the number of Recognized Elementary Schools in Hays CISD to four.  But a special shout out goes to Elm Grove Elementary for getting an EXEMPLARY Rating...way to go!!! Hopefully we will continue to see improvements, and as we see the elementary school ratings improve, these are feeder students to the Middle and High Schools, so in time logic would have it that the kids are better prepared and therefore these ratings should continue to improve as well. So way to go HAYS CISD! Across District TAAS Rating Comparisons for the last 3 years In case you're wonder... 08/29/2008

Sometimes it's nice to look back at a community and see what has happened with the prices of real estate over the years. To help with that I pulled together the sales of single family homes in Buda Texas  from the year 2004 to mid year 2008.  You can see a definite trend in pricing...upwards.  Back in 2004 almost 30% of the homes sold in Buda through the MLS system were under $125K.  Today when I buyer says they can't afford anything over $125k as a real estate agent, I almost have to rule out Buda as an option as there are so few available at any time.  Looking at the other end of the spectrum you can see that the homes selling in the over $350k Range are increasing in Buda.  You might expect these homes to be in subdivisions such as Ruby Ranch and Elliott Range, acreage communities wi... 08/10/2008

The kiddos sure do love going for a hike / wade / swim at the nearby state parks. They have recently been to McKinney Falls State Park and Pedernales Falls State Park and have had a great time. Visit the website for Texas Parks & Wildlife and find a park near you. Each of these two parks are very near my favorite area: South Austin & Buda. That makes it an easy drive to the park to enjoy a day trip for the kids. At McKinney Falls they went Armadillo spotting and found 3 of these crazy critters plus one unidentified swimming snake. Pedernales Falls yielded no Armidillos but had a large supply of lizards which the kids love to spot.  I think next up is going to be Bastrop or Lockhart State Park. Maybe we'll see you there.

Don't change jobs. Even if you have another job in place before you leave and it pays more also don't leave your current job until you've closed on your mortgage. Don't move your money or long-term investments around. Keep things the way they are until after the closing. Moving money from your savings to checking or vice versa could slow things down if you end up needing to re-submit paperwork with your lender. Don't co-sign for anyone else on a loan. This shows up as a new loan or line of credit on your credit history. It will play havoc with your debt to income ratios and force you to document tons of stuffDon't let anyone run your credit report again. Too many inquiries on your credit report could signal to a bank that you're over-extending yourself. Don't let any other lenders run y... 07/19/2007
