Areas that have the name Katy Texas...or fall within the Katy ISD school district stretch from the Westpark Tollway or FM 1093 to the south...to past Clay Rd to the North. From Barker Cypress to FM 1464 and beyond the "Katy Area" is very large...and as a buyer you need to know which area is right for you.
At Team DiMuria we strongly recommend you do an area tour of Katy. It will take hours of your time but will also allow you to eliminate those areas that do not fit your needs. Katy north of I-10, Katy south of I-10, the City of Katy (which straddles I-10 to the west) and even country properties in Waller County will all be available to you in the Katy area! Some of these areas may work for you, others may not fit your needs.
We can break our tour down based on style, price range, specific schools, proximity to work, required amenities, etc...
We personalize each tour to the specific requests and needs of our clients (to shorten the process as much as we can). Once you choose a general area we can focus on homes and find you your perfect slice of Katy!
Don't be short changed....make sure you get an "Area Tour"
Here is yet another reason to consider buying a home in Cinco Ranch, Katy Texas-SCHOOLS!
When buying a home, buyers normally factor in the schools, and how highly they are rated, as a major point in making a decision on where to buy. Highly rated schools help with overall property values as well.
The results of the 2009 Accountability Ratings for the Katy schools serving Cinco Ranch were just released by the Texas Education Agency, and they are stellar! The highest rating a school can hope to achieve is the "exemplary" rating-only 25.8% of all Texas public schools earned this rating in 2009-and 12 of the 13 Katy ISD schools serving Cinco Ranch earned this rating! An Exemplary rating means that a campus must have at least 90% of it's students meet or EXCEED the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills(TAKS) standard on EACH subject. Subjects included are Reading, Math, English/Language Arts, Social Studies, Science, and Writing. In addition, the campus must also have a dropout rate of 2% or less.
In 2009, there were 5 schools that increased their rating from Recognized(the next highest) to Exemplary. These schools were Cinco Ranch HS, Seven Lakes HS, Beck Jr High, Beckendorf Jr High, and Woodcreek Jr High.
There are currently 7 Elementary schools that serve Cicno Ranch, and ALL 7 kept their Exemplary rating for 2009! Theses schools are: Creech, Exley, Fielder, Griffin, Kilpatrick, Rylander, and Williams.
Some additional good news on Cinco Ranch High School and Seven Lakes High School as well-a recent study by Newsweek ranked these schools within the TOP 2% of the nation's high schools!
If you are looking to relocate, and you have kids-then you should strongly consider buying a home in Cinco Ranch-Cinco Ranch has been ranked in the top ten for Master Planned Communites, and the schools are top notch-look no further!

Fort Bend County Texas which fill about half the Katy area south of I-10 posted the third biggest jump in U.S. job creation from 2000 to 2008. The massive 61.3% job growth rate has shown little sign of decreasing with the growth in medical, school, and service jobs leading the way.
The housing market has boomed along with the job growth market (obviously people who work need a place to live) so many new Master Planned Communities and subdivisions, especially those that are in close proximity to The Grand Parkway have blossomed.
The short commute times, great shopping options, and award winning schools have all added up to a place that residents want to live, work, and play in!
If you have any questions about Fort Bend County, Katy, or any of our fine subdivisions and Master Planned Communities contact Team DiMuria at 281-492-5916, jeffreydimuria@garygreene.com or find us on the web at www.KatyHomeFinder.com
Seven Meadows is a beautiful Master Planned Community in South Katy so it is no surprise that it is bucking National trends and showing a strong value increase year over year from July 2008 to July 2009.

Avg sales price July 2008 (as per HAR MLS) $324,258 July 2009 $362,146

The Master Planned Community of Cinco Ranch had strong July numbers for home sales of both re-sale homes and new construction.
For the month of July the numbers broke down as follows:
Total home sales in Cinco Ranch as reported in HAR MLS- July '09 107, July '08 100 (7% increase)
Average price of homes sold in Cinco Ranch July '09 $306672, July '08 $299440 (2.42% increase)
Dollars per sqft of homes sold in Cinco Ranch July '09 $96.26, July '08 94.34
Average sized home sold in Cinco Ranch July '09 3186 sqft, July '08 3174 sqft
In July 2009 the numbers show strong growth (7%) in the number of home sales while also showing an increase in both average sales price and dollars per square foot. This is a strong indication that the Katy area south of I-10 is bucking the National trend of lower prices, smaller homes, and fewer sales.
We feel strongly that the huge increase in medical jobs, schools, and energy corridor strength has led to the growth.

Jeff and Mona paid attention to every aspect of our transaction. I was out of the country during most of the time and they worked very hard to make it seem like I had no reason to return, except to sign the papers. They are the best!

I would be happy to talk to any potential buyer or seller about Jeff and Mona DiMuria. We have sold many homes over the last 30 years or so, these two are the best. Highly Recommended!
Harvey R.
We cannot imagine any agents in Katy know more about the area then Mona and Jeff. They are great! We feel like we have been here for years because of all the inside knowledge we now have. Thanks guys!

I was searching the Internet for a home in the Katy or Sugar Land area (we relocated from Florida) and I ran across Team DiMuria's website (www.katyhomefinder.com) I filled out a form for a relocation package. They got back to me within minutes and helped us with our move in so many ways. They found us a moving company, a mortgage company, helped us get homeowners insurance, and are by far the best Realtors we have ever worked with (we are 73 an 75 years old so that is saying something). I am happy to give them my highest recommendation!
