Houston metro real estate

Wonder what the market for homes not flooded is going to be after this week. I remember the Baton Rouge market exploded after Katrina.

Yeah. Most important three words used to be "inside the loop." "Does not flood" is coming to replace those.

Houston was always reasonable price wise for a large city. That'll change in the short term for sure.

Very nice neighborhoods took on water in the homes. Bellaire neighborhood drone video

With the oil downturn and the continued explosion of new house building the market has been rather flat over the past 2 year for pre existing home sales.

I was wondering this myself. I have been very lucky. No flooding in my neighborhood and we have gotten 30 inches.
I live in Oak Forest next to Garden Oaks.

Hopefully my son will be able to use all 6 of those words. They are inside the loop and haven't flooded and hopefully won't.

What street are you on? I'm over on Richelieu and have stayed dry.

Martin St.
Very happy with the way the neighborhood has held up in terms of drainage.

This thread has incredible timing.

I'm over on Hewitt/Roslyn and have stayed dry. I live in one of the original homes that's been updated. Really curious what it will happen in the coming months.

Sounds like the entire neighborhood did well.
Eta: I might test the market if we see a pop in prices.

Any word on how the Heights is doing? I literally just went under contract to purchase a townhouse near the little league baseball fields off TC Jester near Cedar Creek.

I have friends that live right there basically across from the bingo hall and they stayed dry. I drove down TC Jester by the ball park today and the water had receded. Not sure if the full extent but seemed to be ok

Thanks for the info 84. We bought in the gated community directly behind those baseball fields. There is a retention pond and the houses haven't flooded before (7 yrs), but obviously this the worst flooding event. Nervous as this is my first time going through the home buying process.

The town houses?l at the end of 14-1/2? If so I'd think you'd be fine. Had a friend that lived in there when they first built the place up until 2 years ago. It's relatively high up
Posted on 8/28/17 at 9:22 pm to TexasTiger1984
Yes, that's right. Sits between 14 1/2 and 15 1/2. The house I bought actually backs up to the baseball field on the right and the bingo hall on the left.
They sit a few feet off the ground so I'm optimistic. We will probably have to go through the inspection and appraisal process again. We were scheduled to close in September.
