James Kunstler, whose name reminds me of William Kunstler, would call this home at 10233 Betty Jane near Merrel and Marsh an Eyesore. Or maybe even an Abortion. I really, really think it’s an opportunity. OK, let’s face it: an older person lived here and I will bet you it took five dumpster truck loads…
I get it. I really do. ‘Specially after you see my next post. 8712 Argentine Way (Plano) is like a virgin home with 3881 square feet — Jeeze Louise that’s almost 4000 square feet, in fact you can just fudge and SAY “I have a 4000 square foot home”, I give you permission. Let it roll…
It was like a coming out party this afternoon over at 3505 Turtle Creek Blvd. as every high end agent in town tossed on a fur wrap and checked out the former home of Bill and Margot Winspear. Mrs. Winspear now lives in a smaller unit in the same building. You cannot blame her: this one is 14,740 whopping square feet and they were not kidding when they said 24 foot ceilings!

A report out today from a major researcher housing indexer says we have one of the lowest home foreclosure rates among major U.S. cities. At the end of 2011, 3.4 homes were in foreclosure across the nation, but in Dallas, only…
Hey Kenneth Robinson, the folks of Flower Mound might soon be shining your boots. The more this story gets around — the story of the man who tried to get a home by adverse possession for $16, the better Flower Mound sounds: the latest description I’ve heard is “ritzy”. Now Flower Mound is a great little community out there…
