BBBB for the Week of Jan 10, 2021: 🏘️ 🏘️ Top 4 + Welcome Back 😃
in Becky's Best Bungalow Bets, Heights
Hello BBBB Friends:
Welcome back! I hope you had a great holiday. I certainly did, but I'm more than ready to get back to the business of real estate in the Heights. Inventory continues to drag down potential sales; however, we did have a healthy injection of new listings into the market this week. I am featuring 5 of these I consider worth a look. PLUS, a ton of properties that were Still on My List have now closed! Wonder what they sold for? Keep scrolling down to learn final sales prices and get a heads-up on a few price reductions and new contracts.THIS WEEK
The Houston Heights Association is going virtual again tomorrow evening, hosting its January community meeting online. The theme this month is "Discover Your Story." Folks from the City Preservation Office and Preservation Houston will be on hand to talk about digging into the history of homes and how to research your own. The meeting kicks off at 6:30 pm, Monday, January 11. Get the details here.
Have a great week, and let’s go look at houses or talk about selling yours!!!
Becky
