Have you noticed that the textbooks have gotten heavier? With school now in full swing, my daughter's books are almost the same weight as she is. When I was in school, I don't remember the books as heavy as they are now. Here's an idea that I have done and I want to share with those who have students at home. Buy a set of books to keep at home. This way your student will have the school issued books that stay at school and your set that stays at home. There won't be any way for the student to forget a book at school and your child's back will be saved. By the way, you can buy used books! When the school year is over, you can sell the books and get some of if not most of your money back.
We use this concept in college so why not do this before college? Give it a try this year and see if you and your student like it. My daughter loves not having to carry books home. All she has to bring is her binder for the classes she has homework or test in and the rest is already at home.
Aliana is the newest development in Sugar Land Texas (Fort Bend County). There is so much this new master planned community has to offer. The plans show there to be a polo field, along with plenty of green space, commercial, and luxury hotel. It looks like you will be able to live, shop, play and not have the out of town relatives in your house. What else do you want from the newest concept in the area? Give it a look on their website and when you want to go take a look, then give me a call and I'd be glad to give you a tour of the area.

According to the statistics, the Houston market isn't how the national media keep talking about. When the media talks about the crashing of the housing market, they aren't talking about the Houston real estate market. Are there foreclosures in the Houston area? Yes there are! According to a study, Houston has averaged 1000 foreclosures a month for the past year and its looking steady at that number. This may sound like a high number and it is except that we are talking about a market that has more than 2 million homes. So 12,000 foreclosures a year isn't bad since there are investors picking them up as soon as they hit the market.
The median home price has consistently gone up in the Houston area. Currently the average increase is 5.5% over the past 10 years. The Houston Association of Realtors shows the median home price for the nation is $220,200 and for Houston it is only $153,630. The cost of living in Houston is much less than in many other major metropolitan areas which another reason to consider this real estate market.
If you would like more information about the Houston (Houston, Sugar Land, Katy, Richmond, Rosenberg, Spring, Woodlands) real estate market, feel free to email me at DavidSlavin@remax.net .
