The city needs to stop allowing so many multi family developments and low end homes. They also need to address how shoddy the town now looks with overgrown weeds, grass and general neglect in common areas. There’s no reason for that with so much money coming into the city treasury. NB needs to do better!
I live 20 mins from NB. NB is overcrowded, overpriced and lacks parking.
sounds like where you live is ideal, for you
I get the infrastructure needs however, why is the burden being placed upon existing residents? New infrastructure including upgrades to existing areas, for the most part, should be the burden of developers and new residents.
The city IS collecting MUCH more from developers, called Impact Fees
Everyone loves country music, im the black sheep because I love prog metal music 🤓
Calling all landscape, architects, and city planners from outside of New Braunfels. Not sure if any of my NB gov people are here watching this, but I want this to be a public announcement that New Braunfels really needs to buckle down on heavy landscape through the 35 corridor. Saltgrass new steakhouse that’s being built what is up with the signage. The freaking thing is out of control. This is the type of permits. I’m talking about that’s killing the vibe of what made New Braunfels special place. Please take down the salt grass business sign positioned off of 35. It’s too damn big come on man. Let’s add some more trees and plants and heavy landscape already get back into your country mindset. Time to declutter this Highway 35 service roads it’s all junk up
Hello, Raad! 😊 As your fellow Michigander resident! Living here since 2017, it’s not “Spanish” food!!! It’s Mexican food! Or known as “Tex-Mex” !! Spanish is the language! Just sayin’! 😂
Who cares about politics, i can handle the Trump train, just ignore them.
You forgot scorpions :)
@@angrypickle they’re in there
@@raadalawanrealtor Woops. I think my mind blanked them out. I got stung by one (by not paying attention). Interesting experience. Makes your lips and tongue tingle for a couple days.
That's it...that's a deal breaker...friendly people and critters. I'm staying put in Hawaii. 🤣😂 jk
@@dlasti 😂
Republican town!!! I'm here for it.
lead, follow, or get out of the way
This is a great video! I think you covered everything. The heat and traffic are probably the worst, but it is good to hear they are being mindful of the growth when it comes to the road system.
@@lisag5684 agree 👍🏻
Had some friends visit from Louisiana. Thought they could handle the heat (both outside and in the food).. They were surprised.
Can you do one on San Marcos?
@@ryandudenhoeffer4479 no one’s doing any San Marcos content?
How about an HEB near all the new subdivisions on 46 between Cbicken Express and I10.
@@JoeArmendariz-xt7hv HEB closed on land across from Legacy at Lake Dunlap right off 46
I can handle it
What do you think happens to any interstate through any city when there is an accident! 😂
@@pauljuliegiffen8928 ummm. It doesn’t take you three hours to drive 1.4 miles. It’s so bad that I pull over, park and walk home
I can handle it
Tex mex 4-5X a week is fine by me 😂
@@maybethistimeIV 😂 have at it
Besides all the downsides to NB, I still love living here.
Can they build houses any closer together? it looks like I could stick a broom stick out the window and touch my neighbors window god cookie cutter to the maximum!
Which high school is parkside development by?
Depends. Long Creek is closest, but that new school is I believe only freshman and sophomores this year. Then they'll add junior next year, and seniors the following year. It's New Braunfels Independent School District. Call the district to confirm
Coded and secured gates. Kind of like the Walls Unit in Huntsville or Mountainview in Gatesville.
Trader Joe’s and Aldi!
What happened to the second Granzins that was opening on 396?
Not a new tax rate increase but these bonds pressure the city to more aggressively increase property tax by the max of 10% each year thanks to the increase in home values. Luckily there is no foreseeable economic situation that would decrease home values so we are safe for now…..
@@pauljuliegiffen8928 a slower market and tons of inventory softens prices and eventually decreases values
Where's it at now??
Would be helpful to have association dues info. Also, might want to go to a clip on mic as the sound is very poor in some cases hard to understand.
Still over priced and under Built
I would be afraid to buy a mass-produced home from builders like D.R. Horton. ALL my friends have told me to stay away from that builder. D.R. Horton have been named largest home builder in the country along with Lennar. However, I've seen videos of homeowner complaints and class action lawsuits. Home buyers should do extensive research and not just be starry-eyed about a nice home. That being said, these are very informative videos. Thanks, Raad.
HOA fees in these communities would be helpful info too.
I've been looking in this area awhile, they all seem to be in HOAs but seem pretty low, $20-30.
The name of the subdivision 😊
which one?
@@raadalawanrealtor near viramendi
Jokes on you, I come from south america, so I don't care about old houses and cars all over the street.
We need more HOMEGOODS 😭
Really great!! Thanks for this.
I like your videos! I’ve noticed some issues-let me know if you want to discuss them.
I watch your video every day and also a subscriber of your channel but I have found some problems in your channel If you want I can shire with you.
Being a local NB land surveyor for many years I can say the amount of inquiries we are receiving lately for title surveys is at a very low point. It reminds me of how it was before the 2008 crash.
can you shoot me an email Chris?
Will do
Hey Raad. Great content again. I could not agree with you more. I think that the housing market is going to look a lot different next summer as rates fall. I think that prices for new home builds may stay where they are for a while BUT incentives will be less. With that said, builder profit will still be higher as they will offer less incentives within and will shift the incentives that will come from the lenders (title policy, some closing costs, etc). High interest rates are scary for sure, especially if they are fixed as that would call for the need to refinance which adds cost. It's going to be an interesting 18-24 months ahead for sure, but it looks like we are headed in the right direction. Cheers Raad.
@@veritasmanagement18 thank you and you hit on every point. We should see activity pick up.
These big box builders are building absolute garbage, I feel sorry for those coming in buying this crap
The fed chairman said it's time for a cut.
@@kevinh.7994 yes. But he didn’t clarify time. You gotta read past the headline. He said it’s dependent on September’s report.
As the saying goes, it’s only worth what someone is willing to pay for it… Keep up the good work, I enjoy your videos!
Exactly. Thank you
Great job
A hotel or nice multi eatery like the pearl has in San Antonio would be really nice Id lean on the boutique hotel to keep the hallmark look of downtown going
Could you do one of these for San Marcos, TX? Please!
Isn't there a Buc-ee's coming?
This was GREAT! All this is so exciting Raad! All of these new projects are simply wonderful for our NB community for sure. So many exciting things are happening here and we love to see this kind of growth. This is the amazing thing about NB. Its a place where there is always something to do, the area is simply beautiful, there is always something new being built, but honestly, one of the things that we love the most about NB are the people. We have met some amazingly positive people over the past year and are making life long friends and connections. Cheers Raad.
