Stats GEEK, why yes I am!

Knowledge is power...at least that's what they always said on School House Rock!  If you agree with that statement, then according to the article, Stats Geek? from the November 2011 issue of Texas REALTOR, our Texas Comptroller has a website for YOU, http://www.texasahead.org/ .  This site is chock full of statistics and reports you can view regarding our local and statewide economy.  As your realtor, I'm able to utilize this sight to make the information work for you.  Key economic indicators such as employment, tax collections, retail sales, building permits and population trends for the entire state or any local county can provide valuable insight.  For more information specific to your county, you can visit the Texas EDGE Data Center section of the site and browse the county interactive map tool.  You can also run a report with the data indicators that most interest you.
