Rice Military This Week - Homes Listed in the Past 7 days

06-01-10
Erion Shehaj - Houston Real Estate Broker

Rice Military was redeveloped into a trendy neighborhood consisting of contemporary attached and detached townhomes starting in late 1990s. The boundaries of the Rice Military neighborhood are Washington Avenue (North) Memorial Drive (South) Shepherd Drive(East) and Westcott Street (West). Rice Military, which is conveniently located Inside the Loop, is in walking distance to Memorial Park. The area was named “Rice” as the people who owned it were members of the Rice family; the Rice family included William Marsh Rice, who founded the Rice Institute (now Rice University). The term “Military” is a reference to the neighborhood’s bordering of what was once Camp Logan, a World War I-era U.S. Army training camp. Median Price/Sq Ft is between $140-$185 depending on location and amenities. Prices range from the low $200s to the high $500s for typical properties.

50 Houston HUD Homes Up for Auction this Week

06-01-10
Erion Shehaj - Houston Real Estate Broker

The U.S Government insures banks against losses when they make loans under their FHA program. When these loans go bad, the banks get their money back while the government takes ownership of the property. These government-owned properties are called HUD Homes - named after the department that handles their liquidation. Houston HUD Homes are auctioned off by electronic bidding twice a week: Thursday and Sunday

All that shines is not gold: Finding a foreclosure deal in Houston

During the current economic crisis, “foreclosure” has turned into somewhat of a buzzword. The majority of home buyers who would have never considered these properties before, is now open to the idea of purchasing a home that might need some repairs if it’s going to land them a sweet deal. But even though the deals in the bank foreclosure landscape are available, they are not quite as plentiful as most think. Contrary to what most people believe, only 10-15% of REO homes (another term for “bank owned”) are sold below market value enough to constitute a good deal. The good news is banks are bringing properties on the Houston real estate market at a rate of 80-90 new foreclosures per week which puts the number of good deals from 8-10 each week. Identifying those deals takes us hours and hours of research daily. You, on the other hand, can simply sort through the good stuff on our Houston Foreclosures page.

5 Must Read Houston Real Estate Articles You Might Have Missed

08-01-09
Erion Shehaj - Houston Real Estate Broker

I Know Why Your Home Isn’t Selling

Know-it-allI have never even seen your house, its upgrades, curb appeal or that new air conditioner installed not too long ago. But trust me when I tell you that I know why your home isn’t selling. Whether acting alone, or in combination with each other, there are eight factors that scare away buyers worse then teenage girls at a horror movie screening:

The Price is Wrong

This factor sits at number one for a very good reason. Pricing a home above its true market value in a tough market can cause irreparable damage to your probability of success. Pick an agent that a) doesn’t just pretend but truly knows the market and its intricacies and b) you trust (vital!). Use up all your skepticism in scrutinizing agents but once you decide, listen to their pricing advice and price it right or watch it sit.

Positive Indicators in June: Houston Real Estate Market Strengthens Further

The real estate market in the Houston Area showed further evidence of visible strengthening in the June 2009 sales figures released by HAR. Numbers moved in lockstep with a three month trend of improvements that has median sales prices rising, total sales falling at a slower pace and sound inventory levels.

June 2009 - Median Sales Price 1

  1. Median Sales Prices rose 2.8% to $164.500 compared to 2008 for the second month in a row. Remember, prices rose about half that in May, they were virtually unchanged in April and they had been falling prior to that. Further evidence of a positive upward trend.
  2. Average Sales Prices dropped 2.4% to $221,783 compared to 2008. They had been pretty much flat in May. More than a decline in prices, this indicates a shift towards lower priced properties as the first time homebuyer tax credit program works its way and provides incentives to purchase homes before November 30th.

Unload that tenant occupied real estate and keep your sanity

going crazySo you cashed out of your local bloated market in California / Florida / Arizona circa 2006 and conquered some sweet new construction deal(s) in the Houston area. You know you weren’t alone as during that time everyone and their lovely mother was doing it. How could you pass it up, anyway? Brand new property, ridiculous price/SF, great cashflow, fully managed, investment heaven. Fast forward thirty six months and you find yourself fighting rising property taxes (a county’s gotta eat) and insurance rates eating away at your ROI like a monkey on a cupcake. Rent mostly covers expenses, but it might be time to exit that investment and go in a different direction.

Preapproval Letter is Buyer’s Passport

passportIt is a bit counterintuitive, I’ll give you that, upfront. It seems more rational to find the house you want to purchase first, then pursue financing options. But in this market, more than ever, the exact opposite is true. The preapproval letter from the lender is the necessary passport you must have to start buying a Houston Home. You wouln’t travel to a foreign country without your passport, would you? Didn’t think so.

There are several reasons why you should (and must) get a preapproval letter first...

4 Strategies to sell your Houston Home this month

home-for-saleWhen the market shifts, like it did in late 2007, it is easy to get caught off guard as your decisions still take into account a market with ever increasing home values and an abundance of buyers. These decisions inevitably lead to an overpriced home that will stay unsold for months causing frustration and confusion. Let me be blunt with you: It does not matter what the home could have or should have sold for in 2006. Those rules no longer apply.

But there are 4 Strategies you can use today to get your Houston Home sold under the current market conditions...
