  1. No one wants the formica house. Dropped to 305k today. flipper
  2. HOUSTON (KTRK) -- A minor accident led to a chase and a second wreck in southwest Houston. According to officials, two cars were involved in a minor crash near West Bellfort and South Post Oak. One of the cars apparently didn't stop and the other driver pursued him. A METRO bus was sideswiped during the chase. No one on the bus was hurt. Eyewitnesses reported the two cars involved in the chase were shooting at each other. Police have not confirmed that at this time. That's about the worst news report I've ever read. Anyone hear anything else? flipper
  3. There were about 10 HPD cruisers, 2 ambulances and a firetruck on W. Bellfort just east of S. Post Oak at about 7:00pm last night There was a Black 4 door F-250 with the windows busted out, a stopped metro bus and tons of cops keeping people out of the parking lot by the dialysis place. There appeared to be atleast a dozen little evidence cards set up throughout the parking lot. I haven't seen anything on the news or the interwebs. Anyone else know anything? flipper
  4. Anyone know what's going on at this Shell station? They took out the underground tanks and the pumps last week. They backfilled the hole and the windows and doors have been boarded up since. flipper
  5. Price was reduced to 324,900 on 3/21. Went under contract yesterday 4/10. flipper
  6. As others have said, if you are concerned about crime, you are looking in the wrong area. I agree with the notion that you should rent first so you can better learn where in the city you want to live. If you are dead set on buying, I would look into Westwood (77025) and Post Oak Manor (77035). They are a 4-5 mile straight shot up Main St. from Rice. It's not rare to pick up a house ~$140,000 in those 2 neighborhoods. flipper
  7. Stumbled across this place in Meyerland with a tennis court! Notice the house slightly NW too http://maps.live.com/default.aspx?v=2&...6&encType=1 flipper
  8. http://search.har.com/engine/dispSearch.cf...mp;backButton=Y Looks like it's being advertised mostly for the land. It's zoned to the following schools: High: Yates Middle: Ryan Elementary: Lockhart flipper
  9. This is the same house that hosts the newly expanded "SIGN O RAMA" business on the freeway side of the house. Hilarious. flipper
  10. Dern near 6 acres: http://maps.live.com/default.aspx?v=2&...9&encType=1 flipper
  11. 5.1 acres: http://maps.live.com/default.aspx?v=2&...5&encType=1 flipper
  12. http://maps.live.com is awesome Zoom around and post cool stuff! Here's one: http://maps.live.com/default.aspx?v=2&...2&encType=1 flipper Someone find a bigger swimming pool: http://maps.live.com/default.aspx?v=2&...1&encType=1
  13. I find it a little bit humorous that a stucco mcmansion going up amongst ranchers, bungalows etc. is offending to many, while a mostly monolithic (appearing in this case) monstrosity is a "nice contrast" to the dominant surrounding architecture. flipper ps. I'm just playing devil's advocate, as I prefer the monolith.
  14. Awesome. Congrats rps. Isn't Bill England a builder/investor also? flipper
  15. I'm going to be surprised if they really mean that that is the lot price. If that's the lot price, than they are all going to be 3-5 Million dollar homes. I'm not thinking that is going to be the case. flipper
  16. I'm sure they will do well. People priced out of New Construction in Afton Oaks and River Oaks will fit the bill. flipper
  17. I'm very familiar with the investor who bought 4987 Dumfries. I'm guessing it will be back on the market soon. flipper
  18. I voted in there one year when I lived in the area. I remember it being very mildewy/musty smelling and that the AC wasn't working well. I'm curious to see what the price point is going to be for the townhomes. That's a great part of town to live in. It will be nicer once they repave buffalo speedbump though. flipper
  19. Looks like a remodel. Those are concrete pilings for foundation repair in the yard. flipper
  20. Love the boomerang pattern. If you had that done in your place, PM me your installers info if you don't mind. flipper
  21. I swear this one boggles my mind. According to the MLS, this "lot" was the 5th most expensive "lot" purchase in MLS area 17 as far back as the MLS keeps track. Granted, some "lots" are listed as houses when they sell, but this is ridiculous. This sale puts this property (in braeswood) on par with Shady Side, West U, Southampton. Even though the land is half an acre, they grossly overpaid in my opinion. I'm perplexed. flipper
