The Rice University neighborhood in Houston is home to a well regarded academic community, traditional buildings, and newer homes. Just steps away from the Zoo and Herman park, the neighborhood is a great home for faculty and students of Rice University, and employees of Texas Medical Center.

The area near the Houston Galleria is an upscale community with many choices in luxury homes. It’s a prime spot for building. Located in Houston’s Uptown district, the Galleria area is home to many fine restaurants and shops, as well as nearly a quarter of Houston’s Class A office space.
Houston’s uptown condos are in a great area for combining living and working.

According to Trulia, the percentage of Houston condos with price reductions is 17 percent. This compares with 31 percent for single family homes. While the news is not encouraging, it certainly does not indicate a price dive for Houston condos.

Houston is a city that holds its value, since it is growing and job opportunities are growing with it.

Galveston is a popular destination for people who love urban living, great nightlife, and waterfront lifestyle. Spectacular views of the ocean and the bay are a desirable feature of many Galveston condos.

Houston Lofts are attractive to buyers of midtown Houston condos right now. Many Houston lofts are designed to accomodate the live/work lifestyle, and offer spaciousness and contemporary design at prices far more affordable than high rise condos and town homes.

River Oaks is one of the most prestigious commmunities in Houston. A River Oaks address is certainly desirable for the professional, the successful, and for those wish all the amenities in life. Most homes are priced at well over a million dollars, but select River Oaks condos are available for far less – and now is a great time to get a super deal on these.

Houston foreclosures are no longer just in risky neighborhoods. The foreclosure crisis has hit all sorts of homes in all types of areas. Pre-foreclosure, many homeowners and developers are willing to negotiate with a buyer/investor. If they can walk away with a little cash and satisfied liens, and you have a property for less than the market value, it can be a win – win proposition.

Houston Condos are everywhere … so now, living in downtown Houston has never been better!

The 20 Units of 6007 Memorial are authentic loft style homes.

There’s been a lot of attention to nationwide foreclosures in the news lately. The number of foreclosures is up this month, and looks pretty drastic. This is partly because of the moratorium on foreclosures in December and through February, awaiting word from the White House on how the federal government would intervene. Now that the moratorium is over, foreclosed properties that were already set for auction have been again scheduled for sale, and now there is a backlog of them.
