These run $0.39/sqft + $89 per month, so for this property you are looking at $384.23 / Month.

The price of this particular unit has dropped considerably. The seller is now willing to accept an offer in the $220's. Please call me at 281-664-8341 if you know anyone that may be interested; the current pricing for this unit does not drop below $275k!

When you ask for recourse, I'm assuming you mean regarding the termites? If you are looking for some form of reimbursement from the previous sellers for the issue, then I'd revisit their "seller's disclosure" that you signed when you purchased the home. Were the termites disclosed? If you can prove that the termites were a known issue (to start, I'd call local termite companies and see if they have your address on file), then I'd pursue the matter further with a real estate attorney.

For some reason I recall a seperate warranty company taking care of the home warranty work for many houston builders. I may be wrong, but you could ask your salesperson about it. In that case, if they went "belly up", you may still have provisions in place to service any warranty issues. PS. You may already know this, but I like to remind everyone I know because it seems to be a fact not widely known with new construction purchases. Be sure to estimate your payments based on a full appraisal; not land values. Be prepared for your escrow to contact you after your new appraisal hits the following year to catch up on reserve if they are not collecting based on full appraisal, and just land values from when you purchased the home.

First of all there isn't a catch. I won't sent you mail or bother you. You want a CMA, I'll send you a CMA. It doesn't take that much of my time to do at all. The reason I do it is that if somewhere down the line you meet anyone looking to buy or sell a home, you might think of me, and to me that's important. No catches, no gimmicks. I appreciate the kind words jm1fd. Besides, tax records can easily show anyone that information. (name and where you live)

Are you talking about this plot of land along the bayou?

Thanks for the detailed how-to Spiderman. If anyone needs a CMA completed, I can have one and sent within the morning/afternoon. We don't charge any fees; they're always complimentary. Just give me a ring with your address and we'll get it sent right over.

I'm really curious as to how they'll divert the traffic in the area from families picking up their children. The article hints at a design focused specifically on handling this problem, but at that location Northpointe is only a two lane road. Just out of curiosity: Does anyone know the average earnings for selling off the wood when a plot of land is cleared like this? Who are the typical buyers?

Drove by on the way home a couple of days ago and snapped a couple of shots. It looks like they are still tearing down and clearing the land, but the new school announcement is prominently displayed. Google maps doesn't have Northpointe Blvd. updated to pinpoint it on the map, but if you drive West on Northpoint Blvd. from Highway 249, you'll see the clearing on the right.

Thanks you for clearing that up for me. I'll be sure to pass the news around our office to make sure no one gets slapped with a fine.

I tried to read the article, but it looks like it's no longer available or moved. Just curious: What's the consensus on directional open house signs that are up for about 5 hours directing traffic to the particular open house in the area? Are these signs included with the new ordinance?

I've never used any of them, but see if they provide a copy of their inspection reports? I believe they all have to use the standard report, but the good inspectors in my experience will include a final comments page (to break everything down in lamens terms) and pictures of the main issues they found. Also ask if it's okay for you to attend and ask questions while they are inspecting. Good inspectors will be passionate about what they do and are willing to educate you on things to look out for when buying a home.

I contemplated getting this phone this year (birthday is coming up - all the more reason to justify the purchase), but it looks like I won't be able to. I still have until April of 08' to be in my contract with Verizon. Is it just me or does a 2 year agreement feel like an extraordinarily long time to bind someone to your services?

I have one for sale in Oak Forest on Lamonte. I really like Oak Forest for it's location and ability to increase home values by rehabbing. I'm finding that many homes sold in the higher 100k price range have undergone a good rehab process, so if you can find one that hasn't and put some money into the property, it's money well spent. The biggest gripe about the home I have for sale on Lamonte though is it's location; many buyers are commenting that they don't like being right on Ella. I have someone who is really interested with no children though; we may go looking this weekend.

Amazing pictures! Thank you for sharing. More Info on Hearst Castle

You know the police station is probably less than half a mile down Cypresswood too. I suppose that doesn't really matter.

They could also just enforce the mesh type backpacks that are see through, or if they really want to get ugly, the clear plastic kind.

This thread reminds me of a video I caught on YouTube, that was a story on how much money window washers could actually make. I haven't really caught any homeless folk washing windows lately, but I've certainly never ran across an aggressive one.

For some reason I sit amazed when I see a flock of doves (I believe they are doves) flying in a pattern around a select number of trees in the area. When they "whoosh" by it's pretty amazing in my opinion. Is this pretty normal? You know, I've always wanted a Parrot. They just get insanely loud at inopportune moments. I remember calling a client and couldn't hear a word she was saying because "Peter" was fussy at the time.

Nice shot! So is this pretty much a random thing; you just keep snapping shots until you catch one? Or do you have superb reflexes?

I find that Meyer park is pretty busy in the afternoons, so a little stunned that it happened there. This one definitely hits close to home. My fiance was a little surprised that this happened; we pass by all the time visiting family around Klein High School.

This is great to hear! The Children's Museum has always been a great attraction to Houston, and I'm glad to hear they are investing more money into it. I didn't know it was rated No. 2 Children's Museum in the country; thanks for the link.

It looks like of the 396 units in the first tower, they have hard contracts (not reservations) on 70% of them which is right about 277 as of today. The 5% is refundable but only 6 days after your contract is executed. Keep in mind though that the purchase agreement is assignable so you can sell it off to another investor (if you buy at pre-construction prices of course) at closing. There's a separate assignment addenda to the contract for that. This is all in the sales contract as well, so it is in writing. I also learned that the closing of the first tower units had gotten pushed back to early Nov. as well, so they are rushing to get it done to avoid fines and so forth. The large amount of money they just raised is to begin the construction of the second tower, so it will come to fruition soon. I like the parties they throw as well; Jimmy and Iris do a great job coordinating them all. EDIT: Didn't answer that one question: They are estimating about a 30% investor ratio at the moment, but that number really can't get finalized until they start going to closings early November.

Thanks for the welcome! Jimmy, the sales consultant at the Mosaic, updates me about once a month on the pricing (See July 19 Penthouse Pricing for the Mosaic and July 15 Regular Mosaic Pricing) I'll try to make it out this weekend for the hardhat tour, but I believe my fiance and I have a wedding to attend. If it's in the afternoon I'll try to shoot by and snap some photos.
