BBBB for the Week of Dec 20, 2020: 🏘️ 4 More + Holiday Happenings 🎭 🎶

Hello BBBB Friends:

This will be the last BBBB for 2020. I have enjoyed sharing insights into Heights real estate as well as a few fun facts and activities along the way. I'm looking forward to the new year and anticipate we will have a lot to talk about. Listings will pick up in January and increase steadily through the spring (🤞) and, of course, I'll be here to highlight the gems.

I have 4 new listings to share with you today and as always I have updated the status and prices of homes Still on My List.

Holiday Cheer Goes Virtual
It's hard to imagine Christmas without The Alley's, A Christmas Carol, or Houston Ballet's, The Nutcracker. Good news! Both these organizations are going virtual this year with performances of these holiday favorites. A Christmas Carol is available to stream at no charge until Dec 27th and a Nutcracker Sweets virtual film can be downloaded for $35 and viewed anytime through Jan. 8th. A.D. Players is offering a virtual performance of A Cattywampus Christmas through the end of the year for only $20 and Stages Theater presents Button's Sleeping Beauty: A One-Man Outrageous Unbelievable Covid Lockdown Panto for $25 through Dec 27th. I plan to watch them all!

Wishing you a safe and happy holiday, BBBB will be back next year!

Let’s go look at houses or talk about selling yours!!!
