I first view homes in Bel Etage in 2006 & I liked them a lot. But the new developments that were built in that areas since 2006 concern me. Del Norte HS, Del Sur, new shoppping center … will increase the traffic & noise level. Bel Etage used to be a peaceful gated community. I doubt that I will stay that way for long.
When I viewed Ivy Gate in 2006, it was full of buyers who bought at the peak. Many of the owners were realtors whose incomes plummeted along with the real estate market. Some of the houses lack landscaping b/c the owners stretched to buy. Some other languished on the markets for a long time. Some were listed as rentals b/c the owners couldn’t sell them….
In the long term, the “financially shaky owners” in Ivy Gate will make way for other owners who buy at lower prices through foreclosures/short sales. ….[/quote]
I rest my case….
Eve, if you don’t like what’s on offer here, you can always encourage your spouse to start interviewing for jobs in TX! The ENTIRE STATE is full of properties just like what you are seeking …. at 1/3 to 1/4 of the price!!
