🏡 Rental Market Update 📊 Median rent holding steady at $2,150 ⏳ Homes are sitting longer — about 46 days on average 🔄 Many rentals used to be for sale Instead of chasing endless price reductions, some sellers are pivoting. By renting their homes, they: ✔ Collect monthly rental income ✔ Take advantage of landlord tax benefits ✔ Ride out the market until conditions improve It’s a long play, but for the right seller, it can work. #HoustonRealEstate #RentalMarket #HoustonHomes #RealEstateInvesting #HousingMarketUpdate
Nearly every home, office, and business runs on A/C over 98% coverage compared to around 90% in the U.S. overall. With our hot, humid summers, it’s not just a luxury, it’s a necessity. #Houston #FunFact #HTX
🏢 Townhomes & Condos Are Overlooked First-time buyers and investors. This might be where the deals are hiding. 📉 Sales down 6% 💰 Median prices slipped 3% to $217,500 📦 Inventory is up, giving you more negotiating power Yes, HOA fees can look steep, but many cover utilities, internet, security, and even amenities. Compare that with the upkeep of a single-family home, and the costs may be pretty equal. ✨ For investors willing to hold or renovate, this segment could be a smart play. #HoustonRealEstate #Townhomes #Condos #HomeBuyingTips #InvestingInRealEstate #BuyersMarket

🆕 New builds are hot right now, offering perks like closing cost assistance, upgrade allowances, and warranties on almost everything. 🏠 Resale homes can match many of those incentives and offer extras you can’t get from a builder: ✔ Established neighborhoods ✔ Mature trees & landscaping ✔ Great school zones ✔ No construction delays ✔ Big-ticket features like pools or sports courts — often at a better price Both have their advantages, but don’t overlook the value a resale home can bring. Sometimes the best deal isn’t brand new. #HoustonRealEstate #HomeBuyingTips #HoustonHomes #RealEstateAdvice #BuyersMarket #NewConstruction #ResaleHomes

20’s and 30’s are supposedly your best years, but then why am I stronger, faster, smarter, all the “er’s” now than I ever was? To celebrate I’m off to deadlift twice my weight then make sourdough like a proper #MiddleAge girlie. 💁🏻‍♀️ #AsianDontRaisin #40andFabulous
Not all price points are the same in today’s market. 🏠 Under $250K – Slow sales, not because demand is low, but because inventory is scarce. If there were more homes available here, the numbers would look completely different. 📊 $250K–$500K – The sweet spot for buyers. Homes in this range often check the boxes for what the average buyer wants. 💎 $1M+ – Still selling, but it’s all about perceived value. If it’s not move-in ready, expect buyers to negotiate hard, really hard. Whether you’re buying or selling, understanding your market segment can be the difference between winning and missing. #HoustonRealEstate #RealEstateTips #HoustonHomes #BuyersMarket #HomePrices
