The stars at night are big and bright...Deep in the Heart of Texas! That's not to only thing great about Texas...more Texans are keeping their homes and that's great news.According to Gerald Klassen from Texas A & M Real Estate Research Center..."Foreclosures in Texas are down 28%". This is incredible news, especially in the wake of all the "negative media". As a native Texan and proud Austinite, I am very pleased to hear some good news for a change.
Mr. Klassen also reported that the best city in Texas for job growth is....drum role please...Austin, Texas of course!!! We're the greatest thing since sliced bread...and for those of you who've never heard that saying, it's a "Texas-ism", better know as Texas slang. We have lots of them...
TEXAS SLANG (my favorites)
1) "Eat what you kill': if you don't sell anything you don't eat.
2) "If the good Lord's willing and the creek don't rise": If God's willing or if everything works out for the best.
3) "The greatest thing since sliced bread": It's great!
4) "More tired than a one armed man in a shooting contest": very tired...(this statement is totally not "PC", so I apologize if it offends anyone, that's not the intent!)
5) "Not he sharpest knife in the drawer!": kinda dense, dumb, slow, not very smart!
Well...I digress...It's wonderful to have such great news about the market in these troubled economic times! Have a Happy Holiday Season!!!
