Okay, so let's look at the four criteria: 1. Location: the concensus here seems to be that the location is up and coming. Is it still early in that process? 2. Condition: the house was in great shape. 3. Price: I'm a Houston newby and can't judge that very well, but I suspect it's overpriced. has it been reduced over the 300+ days? 4. Floorplan: I thought it was great. Thanks for all the comments. I am still thinking things over.
