Missouri Living at it's BEST!

According to my local MLS, Branson single family homes sales last month total was 14 homes sold.  The highest priced one sold for $169,000 and the lowest priced one sold for $25,000 with a median price of $110,000.  That is 3 more homes than the previous month's sales total (yahoo!) but the lower median price keeps it from being all good news.

 Condo sales were also down with only 2 closing escrow last month.  The highest one sold for $64,500 and the lowest sold for $62,900.  They also had a lower median price of $63,700, so no real good news for condo sellers last month.

Market information for land, farms, and mobile-home sales as well as other local information is available by request.  Real estate is always local and there is no problem getting financing for good buyers and a fair price for good property, if you know the market.

Naturally, whether you should buy or sell depends upon your particular circumstances more than any other factor.  If you would like to go over your situation and get an honest evaluation of whether you are in the right "timing" or not, I will be glad to help.  You can call my cell phone (417) 350-9743 or click on the following link to see what is available:  Search Listings Here

Predominent Tex-Mex style Mexican food has such a strong influence on Ozarkians tastes for Mexican Food that I feel it is necessary to promote my new friend Alex's Taco and Burrito business in Branson.  He has only been open for a few months and already is seeing more and more people are finding out about them by word of mouth.  Even though that is the best type of advertising there is, other media as my blog could help too. 

No, it is not selfless on my part, you see I LOVE the Baja Style of food and spices that you can only find here in SW Missouri, that I know of, that is.  I have tried the burritos, tacos (including fish), and the Plate Special and can tell you, it is better than I could have ever hoped I would find in SW Missouri.  I do not want to lose this source of good food that can't be found anywhere else in the Ozarks so I am promoting them for my own selfish reasons:)

You can get there by stopping at the last strip mall on the right before the Cracker Barrel Resturant on the strip across from Olive Garden when driving west on Hwy 76 from downtown Branson.  Hours are Monday through Saturday from 11 am to 10 pm and Sunday from 11 am to 6 pm.  They are clean and nice and speak perfect English for those who don't know Spanish.

Call them (417) 334-4833 and order to go or go on in and watch them make your food and enjoy the atmosphere of Mexico City and have from bebidas such as horchita or fresas or regular fountain drinks too.  Let me know what you think, it this the best Mexican Food in SW Missouri or what????

According to the local MLS, Branson single family homes sales last month totaled a whopping 11 homes sold.  The highest priced one sold for $$325,000 and the lowest priced one sold for $96,040 with a median price of about $135,000.  That is less than half the number of homes sold in December and lower in prices as well.

 Condo sales were steady with the same number closing in January, 6, as closed in December.  The highest one sold for $367,750 and the lowest priced one sold for $38,000.  They had a higher median price of approximately $130,000, so at least there is some good news for the condo sellers from last month.

One of the best things about Branson, (heart of America to me) Missouri is their honoring of American Veterans.  People who have risked life, limb, career, and more to protect and serve the home of the free, are our heros!

Branson Veterans Website

Welcome to "Veterans Homecoming Week" November 5-11, 2009

"American tribute to ALL Veterans" Our Theme for 2009 is: Branson Doesn't Forget "Our Military and their Families" America's largest Veterans Day celebration, special events, many of which are free and all of which present patriotic salutes to veterans.

Words are inadequate to describe the many moving moments as Branson entertainers and community members, young and old, pay tribute to America's heroes.
 

This year we will be honoring our Veterans with a week of special events you will find at the above website.  Registration will be at one central location this year to make it easier to find and get all the info you need:

Headquarters & Veterans Village will be located at the Cobblestone Inn, Suites & Conference Center, 276 Tanger Blvd., behind the Peppercorn Restaurant on Hwy 76, Branson, MO. Vendor booths will be open from 9:00a.m. (0900 hrs) to 4:00p.m.(1600hrs).

Because I am a Vietnam Veteran I know how important this is to those who have given so much and gotten so little thanks from those whom they have served.  Make sure you thanks to a vet this year, I will too.
