Hey Diddle Diddle, The Cat and the Fiddle, Kari Kloewer’s Having a Baby Soon!

Written by Candy Evans on March 7, 2013

Last Saturday was Celebrate Baby Day at Allie Beth Allman’s fabulous Crestpark penthouse that, quite honestly, rivals Tim Headington’s. I mean, does Tim (or the new owner) have a greenhouse or a pond on HIS terrace? The occasion was a joyous baby shower for agent extraordinaire Kari Schlegel Kloewer who is expecting a baby boy this spring, though from looking at her you would never, ever know it. Kari’s sister Kim Schlegel Whitman is also expecting her second child, and mom Myrna is gearing up for three grandchildren and many, many hours of babysitting!

Don’t Faint: Case-Shiller is Getting Almost POSITIVE These Days

Written by Candy Evans on February 26, 2013

Even this FSBO has a contract on it!

You know I am not a huge fan Standard & Poors/Case-Shiller Home Price Index. Why? you ask? I’m sure they are very nice people, but their data is old and does not take into account new construction. By old data, I mean that what they are reporting today, this news that has us all giddy, is coming from transactions that were conceived in 2012, like November and December. It takes time to buy a home. A transaction begun last November may be closed in January or February. And Case-Shiller does not take into account new home sales. So like the 6,000 units that Mehrdad Moaydi has vertical, the vast developments booming like Phillips Creek Ranch and Craig Ranch up north of us, all those new home sales are not counted. No condos, either. Case-Shiller only counts residential re-sales.

What I’m saying is that when Case-Shiller is positive, it’s not just good news, it’s UBER great news! And today, Case-Shiller was as positive as I have seen in eons.

Monday Morning Millionaire II: This Rooftop Ritz Palace Comes With a Terrace Better Than a Preston Hollow Backyard — Even for Pets

Written by Candy Evans on July 23, 2012

I told you we had a rooftop unit at the Residences at the Ritz Carlton, Unit 905, with a potty pad for pups. What I didn’t tell you was that the exterior patio living room in this unit is fit for royalty with the most extensive landscaping, fountains, and furnishings I’ve seen since Tim Headington’s place a few floors… and million dollars … up. The stamp of talented designer to the stars Sherry Hayslip is all over this home, from the jewel-toned chandeliers to the patterned custom carpets. Much of the furniture is also negotiable, and I would barter away for those two etagere cabinets in the living room which were MADE for the space. Talk about knock your socks off! The millions of dollars of art inside those etageres is not, I’m told, for sale.

The real art here, I think, is the whole unit! Very rare to have a three bedroom, three and a half bath with Downtown, Uptown and Trinity River Corridor views — again, like Tim Headington’s, but for a fraction of the price. And no champagne cellar, boo hoo, but the kitchen pantry is large enough to retrofit with a cooler. Besides, there is a wine fridge in there anyhow, and I am limiting my Prosecco consumption. The extras are truly priceless — years of Hayslip’s sophisticated eye in every corner: chandeliers, sconces, wall finishings, draperies, tassels. Custom and premium finishes are way over the top, such as the imported jewel chandeliers, stunning hardwood floors, marble, stone, all windows have electric shades and Lutron lighting system. Chef’s kitchen is enhanced with granite, Wolf, SubZero, that wine chiller I need, ice maker, one of those large farm sinks, and a huge island you don’t find in every Ritz unit. Master retreat is huge– big enough for two beds and boasts a sitting area, his/her closets, jetted soaking tub, dual sinks with a makeup vanity and what I refer to as better than marriage counseling, two commodes.
