According to the National Association of Realtors, median home prices are expected to rise only 6% next year compared to last year's 11%. Home sales are predicted to hold steady in 2014, but due to a low supply of houses in the market, prices will continue to rise.  This plateau-ing of home sales is the first reversal since 2011, when sales were on the rise.  Lawrence Yun, the trade group's chief economist at the NAR annual conference, explained that the lack of income growth, higher home prices, and rising interest rates will effect sales.  As it is, the existing home inventory is now near a thirteen-year low. "The inventory shortage will not go away," Yun says, though the new home construction is far from hitting rock bottom.  Rising home prices may encourage others to sell homes, bu...

The Village of Indian Springs holds The Woodlands Reserve where the Frankel Building Group plans to construct 55 homes with prices starting around $1 million.

Compared to 2012, people have purchased 62% more homes, specifically 110 houses, within the seven figure price range this year according to the Houston Association of Realtors. "At the risk of jinxing it, it's a golden age for The Woodlands," said Kevin Frankel, vice president of Frankel Building Group, a Houston family-owned custom home building business that has agreed to build on the 55 lots in the gated community of Indian Springs.

The market remains very strong in The Woodlands.  Magnolia is also showing a strong market with price bands under $600,000 in a seller's market.  Homes with pools continue to be a stronger draw than homes without pools as far as inventory turn is concerned.  There are 4x as many homes without pools that are still in a seller's market.  Over 2M is where  it still is a buyer's market - take into consideration there are 28 homes over 2M in The Woodlands available to sell. If you are interested in selling your home and/or buying a new one, please contact me to assist you in the process.  The market is ever changing and knowing the best strategy for this market is important.  If you plan to sell in Spring, consider putting your home on the market as soon as possible to by-pass competition.  ...

Moving is a typical part of life. Many people move for occupational reasons but there are other motivational factors for Americans to uproot their lives.  The search for lower taxes, cheaper housing, and similar communities also lead people to find new homes.  These shifts affect the economy and political organization. That’s the argument in Shaping Our Nation, the latest book from political historian Michael Barone of the American Enterprise Institute and the Washington Examiner, who also-co-authors the biennial Almanac of American Politics.  Barone goes on to site various nightmare versus dream cities in Shaping Our Nation.  Nightmare cities include Detroit, Cleveland, Buffalo, and other towns that formerly supported their population through thriving factories.  Dream cities are thos...

There's a lot of pressure in selling a home.  Most people look for help with their local real estate agents, people who know the business and are familiar with the process.  Looking for local, experienced help is always smart, but you also need to know where to look for a reputable agent who will do the best for you and your home.  Here are some important steps in looking for that right agent. Ask Someone You Know.  Looking to friends and family for their experiences in the market with particular agents can get you pointed in the right direction.  Most likely, someone in your personal community will have a suggestion that is reliable.  Referrals are easy because you can see the direct result of someone else's experience. Make Sure To Do Your Research.  When looking into securing an age...

There is lots of hype in The Woodlands real estate market with the entry of many new companies into our area....low inventory....limited new construction. At the beginning of 2014 we have 245 homes on the market in The Woodlands, down 14% from the beginning of 2013, and 53% from 2012! We currently have 1.5 months of inventory in The Woodlands. While heaven for home sellers, selling can still be tricky plus a real challenge for home buyers!

In a society where everything runs on technology, it's important to be current in order to stay relevant in the market. Already, there are apps available to list and find homes.   The Search Zillow is a popular app that lists homes for sale with details about each property and includes a GPS feature to help you find each listing. Trulia is another mobile app that pulls information from its parent website.  You can also find information on houses on the Redfin app, which includes photos and details on the listings. Most of these apps give you the ability to create custom searches for homes that match your personal criteria.   The Home Search app, or Home Tracker, helps you keep track of the properties you have already seen; the PictNote aspect especially is used to combine both photogra...

After a buildup of anticipation from Thanksgiving through New Years and the festivities that surround it, many people have difficulty getting back into their normal routines again. Feeling low and even depressed after the holidays is not uncommon. Remember, our lives consist of more than the month between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Eve. Joy doesn’t only live in the major moments in life. Joy lives in the little things. Joyful moments happen all the time. They happen when you’re eating breakfast with your kids, and laughter breaks out. They happen when you’re walking to work, and you spy the sunshine or feel the cool breeze from the pouring rain. They happen when you’re sipping your favorite kind of coffee – a few delicious minutes to yourself. So, if you are suffering from post holida...
