You are right, the one in RM should cost more, but as I said its a forclosure. I can get it right at HCAD appraised value. Im not sure if I agree with the idea that the east end will appreciate more. That what worries me the most. There new developement everywhere in the loop. Its hard to say where the next boom will be. I've know people who bought in Midtown in 2000 (@ Baldwin Square) and was only able to sell for an additional 8K in 2006. That main reason they said was because there was new construction everywhere and homes trends had changed.
