Cortlandt/5th

I failed to read all of the above comments yet I still find it hard to believe that there were outright "bidding wars" for houses in the heights. If you are telling me that a 1900 sq ft house asking 500k had a bidding war from March - May, then I would say that you are crazy. It didn't happen. Period. Now, I will amend my statement by saying there were "bidding wars" for lower priced houses. Surely, (using the example from above), a 1900 sqft house asking 400 - 425k from March to May did have several different suitors. Bottom Line. Is the price of living in Houston comparable or higher than the other top 10 most populous cities = it's at the low end.
