How did the Texas real estate market perform in 2014? A spike in home sales and sales prices in the last quarter of 2014 helped make it the second-best year ever for Texas real estate, according to the2014-Q4 Texas Quarterly Housing Report released today. Demand for Texas homes continued statewide through the final months of 2014, says Texas Association of REALTORS® Chairman Scott
Kesner. “The fourth quarter of 2014 marked three-and-a-half years of continual home sales growth for the Lone Star State and the highest annual home sales volume since 2006—a testament to the strong and enduring demand of Texas real estate.” Here are a few highlights from the report: · 66,664 singlefamily homes were
sold in Texas during the fourth quarter of 2014—an8.46% increase from the same time in 2013. · Median sales price for Texas homes was $185,900—a 7.76% increase from 2013-Q4. · Average sales price increased 6.99% to $240,976. · Statewide housing inventory hit an all-time low of 3.3 months.
Markets with 6.5 months of inventory are considered to be balanced between supply and demand. The report uses data from multiple listing services in markets throughout Texas.

Think hosting a dinner party is difficult? Think again (BPT) - Some might call the dinner party a lost art, but gathering family and friends around the table to eat great food, drink fantastic wine and enjoy each other’s company is the perfect way to celebrate. Creating an elegant, effortless evening to remember is easier than one might think. Perfecting the dinner party is about putting people at ease and creating an environment that encourages conversation and laughter - the two most important elements of a successful dinner party.
So, instead of trying to impress guests with fancy culinary skills or decorating prowess, focus on five simple tips: 1. Light can be the life of the party From glowing centerpieces to sparkling votive candles, elegant party lighting is always a bright idea. Candles set the mood and create ambiance - and allow your guests to truly shine. 2. Let the wine flow The right wine can perfect the moment and no dinner party would be complete without
it. Greet guests with a bright and beautiful sparkling rose and keep it flowing during the cocktail hour. During dinner, offer one red and one white wine. Santa Margherita Chianti and Pinot Grigio are two delicious options with wide appeal.
Giving guests a little something to take home when they leave extends the good vibes. Say goodnight in a unique way by sending guests home with a bottle of wine or votive candle to re-create the magic in their own home.
3. Of course dessert is a food group! Dessert is the perfect way to end an amazing meal. Leave your guests floating on air with angel food cake topped with a Prosecco-infused frosting.
5. Remember to breathe If you’re having fun, your guests will too. Take a deep breath and, while you’re at it, give your red wine a little air, too. Aerators open up the aromas and flavors, making every sip better.
4. Don’t let guests leave empty-handed

What happens when camping and glamour collide? Choosing your glampsite Unlike traditional camping where pitching a tent and maybe inflating an air mattress are your only accommodation options, glamping offers you much more to choose from. Does a treetop abode with running water and goose-down comforters speak to you? What about a yurt or villa? Regardless of your budget, country preference or sleeping needs, you’re bound to find a glampsite that speaks to you.
fishing and reinvigorating hikes, you just won’t have to worry about meals or getting a poor night’s sleep. Depending on where you glamp, you may even have access to more activities and excursions than you would camping. Many hosts are extremely knowledgeable and will go to great lengths to ensure you have memorable experiences to write home about.
No need to pack (BPT) - You love the great outdoors, you really do but you were somehow gifted with that sweet blood mosquitoes crave. Not only that but your body simply doesn’t do well sleeping on the ground and, let’s be honest, it takes no small amount of lighter fluid and matches for you to warm your hands over an open fire.
Travel inspiration website DreamPlanGo suggests you go “glamping” instead. Short for glamorous camping, glamping gives travelers the best of both indoor and outdoor worlds. As in, explore the majesty of Yellowstone, but return to a down bed and gourmet meal at the end of the day. Sound alright? Keep reading.
You’ll still need to bring clothes, of course, and hiking gear, but no need to do the heavy lifting. Leave the cookware, lanterns, sleeping bags and clumsy tent at home. What you’ll be doing -

Selling Your Vacant Home
f you’ve tried to sell a vacant home, then you understand the importance of unloading it quickly. There is a lot of money on the table because of ongoing mortgage, maintenance, insurance and other carrying costs that need to be paid for all these months that the property is sitting on the market.
That money can be better spent fix0 ing up your new home or cushioning your savings account. The beneficial aspect to selling a vacant home is not having to load up and leave every time a prospective buyer requests a showing. It also allows you to keep the home nice, tidy and staged in a manner you feel com0 fortable in displaying. Unfortunately, in many cases selling a vacant home can offer more chal0 lenges than selling a full one. But there are some ways to make your vacant home more attractive to buy0 ,%#- *,%, "%, !+(#$
KEEP SOME DECORATIONS
When potential buyers walk into a home on the market, they imagine themselves living there. That’s why keeping some decorations on the walls and furniture on the floors can be a good tactic in catching their attention. A completely vacant home is void of the personality and refer0 ence points that buyers depend on to decide if it is the right fit for them. While going out and purchasing furniture to fill your vacant home may not be the smartest investment, try to leave behind a few smaller pieces if possible. Any extra picture frames or wall art pieces can go a long way in giving your home some life. However, be prepared to negotiate everything you leave behind as buyers may fall in

DROP THE PRICE
Nothing says “ready to negotiate” like dropping the price a couple of times during the first six months
of a listing. Your actions in doing so will send a message to buyers that your home can be purchased at a great deal compared to other comparable listings on the market. Small, strategic reductions during peak market times like early spring
can generate buzz and increase the amount of foot traffic through your home. Every time you reduce, you send off a barrage of '&!+.+/"!+&'# !& )&/") %,")0,#!"!, agents, who can then tell their clients about the change in pricing.

Five home design tips on layering avoid feeling overwhelmed. Art fans should collect a variety of frames in different finishes and styles to create a “living room gallery” featuring a beautiful art display.
(BPT) - Designers are often drawn to a simple, modern look - however, layering unique patterns and textures in the home is a quickly growing trend. Keep your space harmonized, yet distinct, with the tips outlined below. Fancy frames. An empty wall holds endless potential. If the room is small, expand your space with a mirror collage featuring a variety of shapes and varnishes. Is your heart set on a colorful patterned wallpaper? Showcase your favorite print in a large frame for a beautiful living room backdrop to
Transitional design. For a distinct kitchen environment, combine the artisan feel of the early 20 Century with sophisticated technology. The Artesso collection by Brizo features an industrial yet refined design that works in both contemporary and traditional kitchens. The single-handle pull-down faucet offers SmartTouch Technology, which allows users to activate the flow of water with a simple touch anywhere on the spout, hub or handle. “From urban-loft to chic farmhouse, it’s important to choose a faucet that matches your individual style and offers an enhanced user experience,” says Seth Fritz, Brizo product designer. “The kitchen is the perfect

similar color scheme and play with the positioning by placing the top rug at a purposeful angle.
Pillow patterns. Choosing pillows isn’t always easy. While it’s fun to mix and match, certain textures complement each other better than others. For example, linens and wool tend to look better with woven fabrics while shiny and matte fabrics are best kept separate. Mixing contrasting textures such as silk and corduroy calls for a strong sense of design confidence but it can be done.
Old, renewed. When thinking about your space, it’s important to remember that design inspiration can be found anywhere. Look for antique candle holders or paperweights. Check out antique shops or thrift stores for hidden treasures. When traveling, visit flea markets and local art fairs. Transform an old object like a rustic slab of wood into a glossy countertop for your kitchen island. No matter where you travel, keep an eye out for timeworn treasures for your home.
Rugs on rugs. Layering is a design tactic that fashion and interior designers use to make a statement. Start with a flat, neutral rug as your foundation and add a smaller, accent rug on top. Investing in a large rug with a subdued color is smart, but have fun with the accent rug. Whether cowhide or a geometric print - choose a
