New-construction inventory in Houston is getting better, so you know what that means… there are good deals to be made!According to Stewart Title Chief Economist Ted Jones, there are now an estimated 470,000 unsold new homes under all states of construction in the United States. This is up 21% over last year, and it is the largest inventory seen since March of 2008.In our area, most builders have a lot of unsold homes under construction or ready to move into, compared to a year ago when there were hardly any inventory homes available.This is great news for Houston area buyers. But, if you are thinking about purchasing a new-construction home, there is something important you should know. You NEED to use a Realtor to help you with the purchase!Please don’t visit the model home without che...

It is difficult to make a blanket statement about whether or not now is a good time to buy real estate in Houston, Texas, as the market can vary depending on a variety of factors. However, there are a few key points to consider that may help you make a decision.First, it is important to look at the current state of the housing market in Houston. According to HAR.com, the median home value in Houston is currently $294,500, and the market is considered to be a "seller's market," with a relatively low number of homes for sale and high demand. Additionally, the median home value in Houston was at $305,000 last year in December. This suggests that home prices in Houston are currently falling, which may make it a good time to buy for those who are able to secure a property at a lower price be...
