Mother's Day is this weekend! If you're still looking for something special for your mom - here's an idea!
The Lakeway Resort and Spa has a Mother's Day Brunch you can check out! Or maybe mom (and you) would rather visit the SanSaba Spa? Of course, if you were really generous, you could purchase Mom a brand new, luxurious Marina Village waterfront condo overlooking Lake Travis so she could enjoy the Lakeway Resort and Spa's amenities whenever she wanted!

More than just a waterfront condo...an investment you can ENJOY now!

Things are rough. You can't help but hear about it, well...everywhere. But, I thought I'd buck the trend and give you some pretty good news.
The most recent federal statistics in many markets are showing patterns that you may not have heard much about. The majority of markets still show net cumulative value growth over the last 60 months. The Federal Housing finance Agency released a survey on Nov. 25th revealing that 273 out of 292 metro markets showed positive net home values over the last 5 years. Austin, Texas, for example, saw average housing prices gain by 5.6 percent during the last 12 months and by a cumulative 35.3 percent since the third quarter of 2003. You can find the complete survey at http://www.fhfa.gov/
Kenneth Harvey states,
"Unlike stocks, where your asset values can go from peak to zero in a matter of weeks, house values tend
to be far slower moving, and can be more durable over extended periods. Buy a house and hold on to it for
five to 10 years in all but the most severely depressed local economies, and you're likely to see positive
growth in its value, even if a rough patch of price deflation intervenes."
