#GoodNewsFriday: Homes For Sale!
We have talked several times about Stamford’s housing crunch. The supply of high-quality, affordable houses is one of our biggest obstacles to growth. We are constantly working on solutions and today, I want to introduce another one!
I am often asked about “good” tax foreclosure houses for purchase. Most tax foreclosures are vacant lots or houses long past saving, but we recently acquired three unique properties. 1105 Wells Street and 203 Williams Street would make great residences with a little work, while 1102 New Hope Road is aching to be our next HGTV-worthy renovation! Due to the potential of these these properties, our tax resale partners at Texas Communities Group have undertaken a pilot project to market them to interested buyers. TCG will host an open house for the Wells and Williams Street properties on Saturday, October 23. Bids will be accepted online (there is a minimum based on the projected value) and a letter of intent will be required for all three properties.
Councilmember Dawn Smit Miller deserves much thanks for heading up this idea. For more information and to place a bid, please go to www.texascg.com (select Stamford under “Properties”) or call 806.texascg (806-839-2724). This is a special opportunity to purchase and improve your own piece of Stamford. We hope that this pilot effort is the first of more such projects to come!
