Here at Texas A&M we have a tradition before the football games, where all the fans meet at midnight the night before to get ready for the game. Sometimes as many as 30,000 people show up to practice their yells for the game the next day. Here is a glimpse of that experience and the #2 activity on the bucket list. Each of these activities were voted in by followers on my facebook. If you have any new bucket list ideas for the Texas A&M area, stay tuned for the next voting session and maybe you can come be a part of the activity with me on camera.

Home prices are one factor in determining your cost of ownership, but so are interest rates and financing availability. Even though interest rates have gone up in the last six months, they are still near historic lows. Since your monthly mortgage payment is a combination of paying down your principal and paying the interest owed, if home prices come down a little further but interest rates up, it could cost you even more to service a mortgage on an identical home!

While a home is a major investment, it is also the center of your personal life. It's important to live in a home that reflects your taste and values, yet is within your financial "comfort zone." To that end, it may be more important to lock in today's relatively low interest rates and low home prices, rather than to hope for a further break in prices in the future.

Please give me a call if I can be of any assistance in determining how much home you can afford in today's market.
