With only three days until the Opening Ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Oympic Games, I thought I'd brush up on my information about our United States team.  We have 596 athletes going to the games, 310 men and 286 women.  Of those athletes, 43 are from Texas.  You can check your state's representation on the 2008 Roster by State.  The LA Times has an article you don't want to miss in your preparation.

One athlete that really stands out to me is Dara Torres, our 41-year-old American swimmer that is competing in her FIFTH Olympics.  What an inspiration to all!  In an interview for Women's Health Magazine, Dara gave a list of five treats she'd swim 1000 meters for:

1. Root beer float "It has to be made with IBC root beer and Breyers vanilla ice cream."
2. Vanilla cream cookies "They're so good I don't even bother taking bites. I just put the whole cookie in my mouth."
3. Blocks of milk chocolate from Fresh Market "This is real, no-BS chocolate."
4. Lime Tostitos "They have a kick to them. I love to munch on them before dinner."
5. Fresh-squeezed lemonade "I keep it in my water bottle."

Also interesting is Dara's video with ABC News. 

I'll be watching (and recording) starting on 8-08-08, rooting our United States Olympic Team on to victory.

School is wrapping up and the real estate market is still holding strong in the northeast Houston area despite the reports of gloom and doom on the television. The Kingwood real estate market is still a seller's market with 5.8 months of inventory. Months of inventory is the number of months it would take to deplete the inventory based on the last 12 months of activity. Though the number is not as great as 2 years ago, the number is still good. I have a contact in Arizona that is working in a market of 18 months of inventory. In the Kingwood inventory as of today there is 558 active listings. The Atasocita, Humble, Crosby, Huffman market area is currently experiencing 6.3 months of inventory with 1,367 active listings. This market area has a higher inventory due to the large amount of growth in the new construction market. Although new construction in neighborhoods like Summerwood and Eagle Springs will be closing out in the next few years, new developments are underway such as Lakeshore and Waters Edge. In summary, it is a good time for real estate in the northeast Houston area despite the critics, talk show hosts, and the national news media. Remember real estate is a local market and can't be generalized.
