What is the deal with Metro? I understand the blue line is the expressway to the Medical Center through Bellaire Boulevard but is that a reason to disfigure the road and make it look nothing short of clowny? It has been over 3 months that the blue line has been painted on the curb, and I still cannot get used to it. It is aggressive. Disturbing. It plays with our mind making us feel as if us drivers had to pay attention to an imminent danger. Or maybe the intent is to make us think that if we are travelling down this road by car, shouldn’t we rather ride the bus? Let me know what you think… As far as I am concerned I keep looking for an eraser to make it go away!
I ran into a friend of mine today, and she asked me the question “How’s the market?” She knows I am in Real Estate. I gave her a fact: a house in Bellaire closed last week after being 3 days on the market. She could not believe it. So I told her it sold for a little over $2 million and she was even more perplexed! Yes, this is how Real Estate is. There are no generalizations to be made. We can pull alot of statistics and look at numbers, however it will not tell you how long your particular house will take to sell… I sold an older home in West U in November the day after it hit the market…To get a better idea of what your home will sell for, get the help of a professional. Or, if you’re just playing with the idea of selling or purchasing, you can sign-up for an automatic email update that will send you information on recent sales around your house. It is free! Just email me at Lucie@kw.com with your email address, street address and the frequency of the updates you would like (weekly, bi-weekly or monthly). You can remain anonymous. Why not take advantage of it? It is based on real MLS sales data as opposed to assessed tax values you find on many “real estate valuation” websites. Now you can get the answer first hand on how YOUR market is doing!
