We are closing on a Condo about two blocks from where we live right now....We lost out on the first one that was up for sale because the sellers had already accepted an offer from another buyer even though we offered more for it....Our realator sent out letters asking If anyone was interested in selling in the complex and there were two other people that were.....We are getting this one for $30,000 less then what we offered for the first one....In the area were we live just North of downtown in an area called Turtle Creek your lucky to find something you can buy and own that does not start at a million for a shell....The Condos were built in the 80's....Three bedrooms two and a half baths,two car garage, two fire places. (Wood Burning) 2,500 square feet with a pool and tennis court.....We are going to have it reapainted, wood floors put in the living room, and new counter tops.....People are still buying but they seem to be building more in the Frisco (North of Dallas) Denton and Collin Counties...Also North of Dallas. You can get a 4,000 square foot home up north for what we are paying for 2,500 downtown....But we are about a minute or two from where we work....You could not pay me enough to live up North and have to commute every day downtown......The traffic has gotten insane in and around Dallas.....Plus becasue of The "Victory Project" upscale high rises are going up all over North Downtown.....One bedrooms start at $400,000 two bedrooms start at $570,000.....And they are selling like crazy.....They have them full before they have even finished building them......They are trying to bring people back downtown and I am all for that...Nothing worse then a dead downtown on a weekend.....And If it wasnt for Laura Miller screwing up the Cowboy's deal....We could have had a new Stadium at Fair Park just a few minutes from downtown......Not Arlington.....That would have brought people down before and after the games......And helped with the growth of Downtown.....Thanks Laura Miller...For Nothing.....
