Good afternoon, friends! I'm back from another long day at work, but it's a job that I enjoy so... what can I say?
Today's events took me out to the cozy burb of Gardendale. John Williams, my broker at Williams & Assoc., is nearing completion on a spectacular new home on Goldenrod. We ran an advertisement in the Midland Reporter-Telegram in the "Gallery of Homes" section, which also announced today's Open House. Well... the weather just wasn't on our side. /sigh
Whatcha gonna do? It rained.
But, needless to say... we were open! Mr. Williams and I took the opportunity to put up some of the blinds in the house, survey the status of the construction and see what work is left to be done.
This really is one of John's BEST homes that he has ever built. A beautiful new four bedroom house with two and one half baths, it has a two car side entry garage... and beautiful country! Sitting on one acre, this home is warm and inviting, with many details of craftsmanship: custom hickory cabinets, keystone rock-work that is inner-twinned with the brick to create an eye catching display of simple elegance. Cliche'? Nah. It looks good!
During the coming week, we will repair and improve upon the roads and landscaping around the house. Due to the rain, it was almost impossible to actually get TO the house... thus shutting down the "open" house. But, it's nothing that can't be fixed; and it will be very soon.
Keep your eyes open for Gardendale in the coming year. There is a water utility due to go in very shortly and will take apx. six months to complete. Once completed, the shortage of water feeding Gardendale will come to an end and the town will bloom and prosper. Thankfully, we don't have that problem with this current endeavor... water wells are a good thing! However, soon it will no longer be needed and simply a matter of choice.
Call me at my office: (432) 694-9663 if you have any questions or would like to learn more about the "open house" that almost was! ;) Have a good one!

Hi Tex,
Thanks for your comment, it's a good question. The answer is: new construction in Midland or Odessa for something with this square footage is running much higher!
The house we've built in Gardendale is asking $70 per sq.ft. In town, you can expect at least that, and some reaching up to $75-80 per sq.ft. Not to mention THIS house is sitting on a full acre of land, rich soil, good water, beautiful setting... it really is a deal.
Mr. Williams is hard to under sell. His new construction prices are the best in town for amenities he gives. I'd be happy to pull comparables in any price range to show the difference between what he can build and sell versus others in Midland.
Anyone interested is welcome to give me a call! Thanks again for asking... good question!
