College Station is 6th Fastest Growing in America

College Station, TX Ranked #6 among the fastest growing cities in the nation!
WASHINGTON (WalletHub) – ​​​Four Texas cities have snagged spots on WalletHub’s list of 2018’s fastest-growing cities in America.

​Midland​ and Pearland ranked second and third​​​, respectively. ​McKinney came in fifth, and College Station followed in sixth.

​The four cities were also the top ​fastest-growing mid size cities on the list. Frisco and Round Rock​​ were the ninth and tenth.

Austin was the fastest-growing large city.

​​​​Frisco, McKinney, and Pearland​ tied for first in the highest population​ growth category. Other cities tying for first were ​Enterprise, Nev.; ​​Lehigh Acres, Fla.; ​​​and Meridian, Idaho.

Frisco and McKinney were also first in highest job growth, tying with Meridian, Idaho;​​ Lake Charles, La.; ​Fort Myers, Fla.; and ​St. George, Utah.

​Pharr had the ​​highest poverty rate decrease in Texas. It tied with ​​​Lake Charles, La.; Fort Myers, Fla.; Compton, Calif.; ​Port St. Lucie, Fla.; ​​and Victorville, Calf.

​​​WalletHub asked Real Estate Center Chief Economist Dr. Jim Gaines to chime in on ​the biggest challenges for rapidly growing cities.

“Local government(s) generally cannot keep pace with fast population growth in providing necessary public goods and services,” said Dr. Gaines. “Everything from water/sewer capacity, roads and transportation infrastructure, police/fire/EMS services, schools, and virtually every other service typically lag behind the increased demand for facilities and services. The faster growth occurs, the harder it is for local government to keep pace. It also may not help that current residents may not really want the growth, not want to foster the growth, and especially may not want to pay for the growth.

“The result is that not only are fiscal problems revealed – unwillingness to support higher tax rates or increased bonded indebtedness – but also local philosophical and political attitudes either for or against the growth.”

​The rest of the top ten fastest-growing cities rankings are: No. 1 ​Fort Myers, Fla.; No. 4 ​Bend, Ore.; ​​No. 7 Lehigh Acre​s, Fla.; No. 8 ​Mount Pleasant, S.C.; No. 9 ​​Enterprise, Nev.; and No. 10 Irvine, Calif.​

A couple ‘not so well known facts: 

1.      Interest rates are projected to increase at least 3 times in 2019 with at least one more by December of 2018!   If you’re thinking of purchasing a house in College Station in, you’d better do it fast.  Small interest percentages can increase your mortgage payment significantly.  

2.     Land costs are still increasing.  A typical lot can cost $50,000+ which means homes being built are approximately $300,000 today. 

3.     If you’re thinking about building, it will cost you approximately $6000 through the city of College Station for impact fees. 

4.     There is currently a labor shortage which means if you’re building your dream home in College Station or Bryan, it will take 8-10 months vs 6 months previously.  Plan for it to take a little longer.  

5.      Approximately 4000 people are moving to the College Station and Bryan areas each year.  College Station is no longer considered a small town, but a metropolitan area according to Dr. Gains of the Texas A&M Real Estate Center. 

6.     Dr. Gains reported this morning to local real estate brokers  that Texas has more oil than Russia!  Who knew, right?

Is there a Lien against you?

What a buyer and seller needs to know about LIENS

What is a lien?

A lien is a legal notice that’s attached to your property title because of an unpaid debt. It gives the unpaid party a legal claim to a portion of your property when it’s sold, and you typically can’t sell or refinance your property in the Brazos County if the lien isn’t cleared.

Has someone filed a lien against me?

Homeowners won’t always know if a lien is a filed against their property. For instance, if the seller hasn’t paid the mandatory HOA fees (Homeowners Association).  As per their deed restrictions, the subdivision can file a lien with the county and the seller won’t be able to sell until it’s satisfied.  This can take place at the time of closing.  But finding out if there are liens is fairly simple—and by finding out early, you can take steps so that it will not hinder selling your home. Here’s how to find out if there’s a lien on your property, and what to do if you do find one.

Brazos County Public Record Links:

Liens are a matter of public record by address online, within the Brazos County, or on anyone else’s property.  A municipal lien search looks for unrecorded property issues that a traditional title search won’t uncover. This includes unpaid utility bills, code violations, special assessments, Brazos County property taxes, and open or expired permits.

You can also hire a title company to do the legwork for you, but there will be a charge.   For the most part it’s going to do the exact same thing you’d do anyway. If you have your eye on a property, it’s a good idea to conduct your own search as well so you don’t run into any surprises at the last minute.

What to do if a lien is discovered:

If the buyer or seller does find a lien or assessment, (or one you want to purchase), don’t panic. If the lien is paid off already, you may just have to contact the appropriate party with proof in the form of a lien release. But if it hasn’t been paid, you’ll need to sort this out before your home sale goes through.

Liens can become an issue for everyone involved, especially if the total liens on a property add up to more than the contract sales price.  If this is the case, the seller will have to bring cash to cover the difference at closing. If the seller lacks the cash available for this, the buyers may have to help clear the lien with their own money, or walk away from the deal.
