  I am constantly being asked how the Real Estate market is in Pearland. I get the feeling that those asking the question assume that the Pearland Real Estate Market is not good. Most seem a little surprised when I respond, "The Real Estate Market in Pearland is good!" The follow-up question is usually, "Really? Why?" Yes, a lot has changed in the last couple of years. However, homes in Pearland are still selling and buyers are still buying! Pearland continues to have growth - not only in real estate but in the area of sports, education and business growth. My husband and I both grew up in Pearland. You know - when there was an actual Pearland Founders Day celebration every year! It amazed so many of us when Pearland hit 10,000 in population. Now look at Pearland:We now have a populati...

According to the weatherman, it looks like Pearland is in for several nights of freezing temperatures this week.  Here are a few things to keep in mind to protect your home: Before the cold hits: Insulate your exposed pipes. These can be found in crawl spaces and attics. Exposed pipes are more susceptible to freezing! Seal any leaks that allow cold air inside near where pipes are located. Look for air leaks around electrical wiring, dryer vents and pipes. Use caulk or insulation to keep the cold out and the heat in. With severe cold, even a tiny opening can let in enough cold air to cause a pipe to freeze. Disconnect garden hose When the freeze comes  Let a trickle of hot and cold water run. This can help keep your pipes from freezing. Let warm water drip overnight, preferably from a f...

I have been reading all the posts that I can here on AR and there are so many beautiful pictures that I am in awe of. This has inspired me to start painting again. I was good back in the day. Some of my talent comes naturally and some talent came the hard way, learning how to do it. So I have decided to take a course in Water Color at a near by Community College. I know they will have stuff for us to paint. I know this because my father-in-law took the course so many years ago. He became quite good at it. In any case I hope to paint one at home in my spare time and to relieve stress. Below is the first picture I plan to paint. I hope it is not too ambitious. The colors are not a bright as on my iPhone but this is it. This is part of a tree that I park under each day. It also holds a goo...

  We were all so impressed when the Pearland Oilers beat Euless Trinity 28-24 at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington to win the state championship!  The boys worked hard all year and their tenacity to win showed through! Now its time to celebrate! A time & date to honor our 2010 5 A, Division 1 State Champions,  has been scheduled for this Saturday, January 8, 2011 at 4:30 p.m. The parade will begin at the First Baptist Church parking lot located along Pearland Parkway.  It will then travel south on Pearland Parkway and conclude at the visitors parking lot of Pearland Stadium (The Rig). Come out and let's celebrate the Oilers' great achievement!

2010 was a banner year for the real estate market in Pearland, TX! Despite the national recession last year, Pearland continued grow.  Between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2010, there were 1,345 homes sold in Pearland.  That's an average of 112 homes selling each month!  It is interesting to note that these home sales seem to be spread out across the city. As a Pearland Realtor and a Pearland resident, I find the continued growth in Pearland encouraging!  For those of us who live in Pearland, we already know what a great community it is to live and own property. From fantastic schools to the vibrant community activities to the easy commute to downtown, Pearland has a lot to offer.     There are currently some great houses for sale in Pearland.

Country Place is one of the best kept secrets in Pearland.  What a wonderful community!  I always tell my clients that Country Place is like a little city.  People in this neighborhood really look out for each other and care about each other.  After Hurricane Ike, the men and women of Country Place didn't wait for help from the outside world, but instead, began immediately helping others who were in need.  The new gazebo at the entrance was built by our own neighbors.  I could go on and on....but, you can see that this place is fantastic! I look forward to serving you in Real Estate in 2011 as I have in the past.  I help buyers and sellers outside of Country Place, but I have a special place in my heart for the people of Country Place.  Call me if you have any real estate questions.   I...

What is it that the home buyer really wants??? In studies I have seen, it was very clear that location/neighbourhood is the key to everything. The second most important thing is price..... Then size or how many bedrooms...But the key is pricing. I see to many agents selling floor-plans or the type of home before selling the most important things; LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION, then price.... Give the home buyer what they want, not what you want to sell them...   Whether you're interested in buying your first home, your next home, or just want to know more about home-ownership in general, I encourage you to check out a couple of great online resources:http://www.texasrealestate.com/ or http://www.har.com/ and for all of your Pearland TX and Northern Brazoria and Galveston County real estate...

Can you believe that another year has come and gone? 2010 and definitely a busy year for me both personally and professionally. I have to say, I am looking forward to 2011! While I don't make new years resolutions, I am making some big plans this year. I think "making plans" instead of resolutions is more feasible... at least for me! As most of you know, family is very important to me. One of  my goals is to find new and fun ways to get involved in the Pearland community with my family.  We love the Pearland community and there is so many great organizations and family events that take place.I want to use these opportunities for my family to spend time together while making a difference. How about you? What plans do you have this year? Is there anything you have wanted to do? What big ...

The question I get most often being a real estate agent is; How is the market? And is now the best time to sell my house?Well, the answer is 2 fold. I will go into detail and show you what the market is doing and why now might be just the right time to sell your house and buy another. But on the other hand, why it might be time to just sit tight and wait for the market to start the upswing in February or March.Let's look at what the pricing is doing in the Pearland TX market.  The chart below shows a two year period starting in Nov 2008 and goes through Nov 2010.  A few things jump out to me and the first one is that the median price is FLAT... It has dropped $10K over the last two years... Understand the in the median price and not the average price...  What does the really mean? It te...
