[speaker001:] okay Jay where do you live in Texas
[speaker002:] I live in Dallas um
[speaker001:] in Dallas
[speaker002:] right at the intersection of the busiest highway in the state and a uh that goes east and west and a north south tollway
[speaker001:] what's that the I-30 and Central Express
[speaker002:] it's no it's called 635's the highway it's the looper that goes around the city and then uh the tollway is called the Dallas North Tollway just moved here about uh
[speaker001:] okay yeah right yeah
[speaker002:] oh uh one about a month ago after twenty one years two miles to the east
[speaker001:] oh is that right oh how about that
[speaker002:] so it's a very different house from the typical Dallas uh house
[speaker001:] it's a new home
[speaker002:] it's about eight years old it's uh it's a duplex type thing uh very modern and um very open and airy light
[speaker001:] about eight years oh uh-huh
[speaker002:] so it's different than those than the long Texas ramblers um-hum
[speaker001:] right uh-huh well we we live in a brick story and a half um
[speaker002:] what's your house like
[speaker001:] Cape Cod style I guess you'd call it and uh a big
[speaker002:] oh great yeah
[speaker001:] sun room on the back of it it
[speaker002:] so it's got a lot a openness openness openness and light also
[speaker001:] no have
[speaker002:] oh it doesn't well that's what my wife really wanted and so uh
[speaker001:] with openness and light I understand that I would love that too
[speaker002:] yeah that's uh our our last house wasn't too bad but it was just too traditional and so if uh
[speaker001:] uh-huh yeah this is very traditional
[speaker002:] the next the next time uh probably a year and a half from now we're gonna try to build
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] so make one really um contemporary and and very modern and very open and very light
[speaker001:] uh-huh do you have children at home
[speaker002:] no I have three in college they they usually get back for the least two of them for the summer so
[speaker001:] three oh boy you still need space plenty of space
[speaker002:] but still need a little bit of space we we have a lot less than we had uh recently already cut back
[speaker001:] uh-huh huh uh-huh well
[speaker002:] how big is your place
[speaker001:] it's uh oh about twenty five thousand twenty five hundred square feet I guess
[speaker002:] oh that's good size
[speaker001:] it's four bedrooms and two baths
[speaker002:] yeah we we had
[speaker001:] and that it has one wing built on it's a kitchen family room and then uh big room on the back
[speaker002:] yeah we had four bedrooms two and a half baths uh in the place we just left
[speaker001:] um uh-huh
[speaker002:] so down now we're down to two and two
[speaker001:] two and two uh-huh
[speaker002:] um-hum so it won't be terribly wonderful when the kids are home but it won't be that long because we not for sure you know how long they're gonna stay or whatever
[speaker001:] right uh-huh I was just reading an article um that there were nineteen thousand properties available in Texas uh for sale by the Resolution Resolution Trust Company Corporation repossessed
[speaker002:] oh yes yes and if you can get in the if if if you can find one in the right area you can really pick up a steal
[speaker001:] I I guess so
[speaker002:] uh we we really didn't go that route and didn't look uh but um the plenty of them and the and the housing market probably still gonna even go lower there are many many houses just for sale just by the regular route
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] so um
[speaker001:] that's discouraging if you own property
[speaker002:] yeah and we just decided uh uh sell and we got we got a pretty good price uh for for what we had uh not as good as it would've been
[speaker001:] few years
[speaker002:] say three or four years ago but
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] that um that was just the timing
[speaker001:] right well our daughter and son-in-law moved up back up here he's from Texas but course she's from here um about a year and a half ago
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] and had their house on the market down there and they never did sell it so they stayed six months and she got her job back and he got a job down there because
[speaker002:] oh well yeah they're not moving very well for sure
[speaker001:] huh-uh no
[speaker002:] and that's a good uh example of it
[speaker001:] they live in Rowlett
[speaker002:] oh yeah I know where that is I've been we've been here twenty five years I'm from Missouri and my wife's from Kansas so
[speaker001:] have you uh-huh
[speaker002:] I teach I teach at a college here so it's uh it's sort of home now
[speaker001:] uh-huh

[speaker001:] oh
[speaker002:] and it's just about two miles to the west of where I'm living so it's very nice very convenient
[speaker001:] uh-huh only one I know is Richardson
[speaker002:] yeah now Richland College is out it serves Richardson and uh Garland and that's about nine miles to the east of here so uh
