January Stats for the Houston Real Estate Market
Their were 2788 sales this month in the Houston real estate market. This is down 10% from this time last year. This was a pretty low month for Houston.

We saw brisker sales in November and December even after taking into account seasonal fluctuations. The average and median price were both up ...

Getting A Loan Just Got Tougher: Fannie Mae Changes Debt To Income Ratio
So the government is offering an 8k tax credit to help the real estate market recovery. There have been a lot of debates back and forth about whether the government should be spending this much money to help bolster the troubled real estate market. I don't want to get in to those arguments here. Suffice it to say that the 8k tax credit is very expensive but at the same time it is helping the housing market.

Master Planned Communities and Zip Codes
We added a couple of additions to the site yesterday: a list of all the master planned communities in Houston, and a page dedicated to detailing most of the major zip codes in Houston.
Master Planned Communities
Houston has quite a bit of these types of communities. They're not too much different than regular communities, except that they're usually planned from the get-go rather than randomly built on like subdivisions used to years ago.
A new town, planned community or planned cit...

However, it's important to remember that what may be nice to me, may not be nice to someone else.Staying objective is one of the primary concerns for a real estate agent. I'll provide some numbers, market information, school reports, crime statistics; anyth...
