Have you thought about looking out in Riverstone? I know a portion of the neighborhood is part of Sugar Land and zoned to Clements High School. Also, most of the homes are pretty new - built in 2001 or newer. I just took a look on HAR and found several homes that seem to fit your criteria or are at least pretty close to what you're looking for.

rbarz - thanks, i do have a realtor already though. just thought you guys on the forum might have some opinions.

diggity - that's what i hear as well.

hi everyone! i've been reading posts on the forum for quite some time, but this is my first actual post.

i hope all you knowledgeable folks can help me out.

i'm looking to purchase in saint george's place (by the galleria) and noticed that the property taxes have dropped ~5% in the area from 2008 to 2009. any idea why? is it just a case of the neighborhood petitioning to bring down the taxes?

can i use this to my advantage when trying to negotiate on a purchase price? the house i'm looking to buy is listed at $150K over the 2009 appraisal value. another is listed at $100K over the 2009 appraisal value. any suggestions?

thanks in advance!
