Recent indication is that first time home buyers are getting tired of sitting on the sidelines. According to a recent online poll taken by the National Apartment Association, 17 percent of renters plan to make the jump to home ownership in the next year; 41 percent of the 2,041 respondents planned to be home owners within two years. Only 31 percent planned to still be paying rent five years from now.

Housing Industry in 2008

I am getting the question a lot now from professionals in my industry, "How are you thriving in the 2008 housing market when most agent are running away from the business?" The key is showing up for work everyday, but also knowing how to market on the Internet.

My coaching program opens up this summer. I am inviting anyone that wants more business in the housing industry i.e. Builders, Realtors, Lenders etc.

Normally I would charge thousands of dollars for a program like this one. In the effort of stimulating the economy, I am going to have a special price for my first 1000 registrations!

Gables Residential and Urban Partners Houston Mixed-Use

HOUSTON (Texas Real Estate Business) – Dallas-based Urban Partners and Gables Residential have topped out phase one of West Ave, the partnership's mixed-use project. With the skeleton of the building completed, interior work will begin.

Located on five acres at Kirby Dr. and Westheimer Rd., the project’s first phase will consist of a seven-story building containing 180,000 sf of retail on the bottom two floors and 390 luxury apartments on the top five floors.

Residential units averaging 1,070 sf will be available for occupancy in August. Retail space will follow a year later. Restaurants will include Pie Bar, The Social House, Swig, Cru and Wildfish.

Memphis-based Looney Ricks Kiss is the designer.

Houston Biodiesel: We Have a Refinery!

HOUSTON (Houston Chronicle) – Texas expanded its lead as the biggest producer of biodiesel fuel in the country with yesterday's opening of the nation's largest biodiesel refinery on the Houston Ship Channel.

The facility, owned by Grapevine-based GreenHunter Energy, will have capacity to produce 105 million gallons a year of the fuel, which is touted as a way to help reduce U.S. dependence on foreign oil.

But the refinery may be more notable for its ability to make biodiesel from non-food sources. While most U.S. producers use soybean oil or other vegetable oils to make the fuel, GreenHunter officials said their plant is "feedstock agnostic." It can make biodiesel just as easily from animal fats as it can from vegetable oils.

"We now have the opportunity to participate in our country's goal of reducing its continued dependence on foreign crude oil supplies," said GreenHunter chairman and CEO Gary C. Evans.
