I didn't see the original article so I'll have to work from this

I don't recall if I mentioned anything about the real estate setup
here, but here's the latest anyway:
On the new house I'm buying in a gated community:
The developers report they've obtained permission to go ahead with
the clubhouse and the first block/unit, of which mine is one of the
four dwellings. So, maybe late October or early November I should
think. If I go on this vacationin britain, that will fill in September for me
anyway and stave off boredom ....
The one I'm in now will have to be done up and made pretty for
prospective buyers. It's in a good area, and basically sound, so I
don't anticipate much of a problem selling for about the price I want.
I'm hearing there is some big money in California looking at Ft
Worth and nearby with speculative interest, as it is said to be the fastest
growing city in the country. So, property prices should rise...
I also have an investment/leasing property in Arlington, near here,
no problems there at the mo.
That's my latest. Watch this space!

Are you using a realtor on this deal?

Good Gawd. Don't touch it! I don't remember seeing your posts
on this business so I don't know the details of course, but there are
plenty of buyers out there, depending on where you are of course, so
theoretically you should be laying down the conditions.

A buyer's market? I don't think so either! Again, depending on
where you live, condition of property, etc..

Apologize for poking my nose in here, but this sort of thing I've been
doing for a long time, first in England and now here, so it's
interesting stuff to me.
