Firethorne continued its record-breaking ways in 2010, selling 254 new homes, an all-time high for the five-year-old Katy/Fulshear residential development. This represents a 6.7 percent increase in new home sales over 2009, when the 1,400-acre master-designed community marked its previous record-breaking 238 homes sold.
“The continued growth of the Katy/Fulshear/West Houston economy, the Federal tax credits for first-time homebuyers (offered earlier in the year), our outstanding public schools and ongoing support from the local Realtor ® community have fueled the success we achieved in 2010,” said Firethorne General Manager Wayne Meyer.
Project-to-date, Firethorne has sold 1,132 new homes. The Firethorne homebuilders are Coventry Homes, Highland Homes, Partners in Building, Perry Homes, Plantation Homes and David Weekley Homes.
In terms of growth, energy companies have relocated employees to the area, 
plus three major Houston hospitals are expanding in the Katy/West Houston areas, including Texas Children’s Hospital-Katy, Memorial Hermann-Katy and The Methodist Hospital-Katy.
Firethorne is attractive to the Houston relocation market with its proximity to the Energy Corridor, location in the top-ranked Katy Independent School District and Lamar Consolidated Independent School District, and availability of lots typically found in the country with all of conveniences of master-designed recreational amenities, such as state-of-the-art technology and nearby shopping, retail, dining, entertainment, schools and medical facilities.
The community features 150 acres devoted to parks and recreational amenities, a 12-acre lake with surrounding greenbelt, resort-style swim center, sports fields, hike/bike trails, parks and playgrounds, discovery-rich wildlife observation area and a natural bird habitat. It’s where the vibrancy of West Houston meets the small-town charm of Katy/Fulshear. Located 15 miles west of Houston’s Energy Corridor, take I-10 west and exit Pin Oak to FM 1463, go to www.firethorne.info, or call 281-693-1011.

Ever since the "Katy Sun" did an interview with me, and it was picked up by the "Houston Business Journal", on foreclosures and short sales, my phone has been ringing with investors wanting to buy properties. One thing I have to do, in most occasions, is explain the Freddie Mac First Look Initiative:
Freddie Mac offers homebuyers and select non-profits an exclusive opportunity to purchase HomeSteps homes prior to competition from investors through the Freddie Mac First Look Initiative program. This on-going initiative offers owner occupant homebuyers, Neighborhood Stabilization (NSP) grantees and non-profits engaged in community stabilization efforts the ability to purchase HomeSteps homes during their initial 15 days of listing without competition from investors.
The initiative supports Freddie Mac's mission to stabilize communities and support housing recovery through the creation of affordable home-ownership opportunities.
How does the initiative work? During the first 15 days a home is listed for sale in the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), HomeSteps will consider purchase offers from owner-occupants, public entities or their designated partners only. Buyers intending to purchase the property for investment, may submit offers to the listing broker and HomeSteps will consider them after the initial 15 listing days have expired; this assumes the house hasn't sold. Many sell during the first 15 days.
What homes are eligible to be included in the Freddie Mac First Look Initiative? All HomeSteps homes listed on or after September 17, 2010, are eligible for inclusion in the program.
How will a homebuyer know if a home is included in the program? Buyers may contact their selling agent or the listing broker with questions about the eligibility of a home; this information will also be included in MLS listing information.
How can a homebuyer determine the number of days the home has left under the initiative? Buyers must have their broker check MLS or contact the listing broker to determine how many days are left.
How will a buyer prove that they are buying the home as their primary residence? The buyer and their selling agent must sign an affidavit affirming that the buyer will occupy the home as their primary residence. Parties that fraudulently sign the affidavit may be subject to criminal or civil liability.
Important Notes: Multiple offers received during the 15-day initiative time period are processed in the same manner as a normal transaction using the multiple offers procedure. Second home purchasers do not qualify for the Freddie Mac First Look Initiative; they are subject to the rules for investors.
To participate in the Freddie Mac First Look Initiative as a homebuyer or to submit offers as an investor, contact me at juliefuelling@sbcglobal.net or on my mobile phone, 713-818-2404.
