The Williamson County Appraisal District is sending out their appraisals on properties for 2008.  The Chief Appraiser has announced some of the appreciation numbers that they saw for the year 2007 which shows growth for our area.  The following is from an article on statesman.com:

In Williamson County, 2008 home values will climb about 6 percent on average countywide, on $20 billion of residential properties, chief appraiser Bill Carroll said.

"This year, it's even more sporadic than usual because of the market conditions," he said, adding that notices will be mailed Friday.

On the commercial side, office, retail and industrial property values in Williamson County are projected to rise about 9 percent on average, on about $20 billion in commercial property, Carroll said.

Williamson County home values have been rising an average of 7 percent to 9 percent in recent years, "so we haven't been as exposed to a volatile market like a lot of the rest of the country," he said.
