liz carterHaving been a Realtor in the greater Houston Texas area since 1976, I am still amazed at how affordable it is to live in our area of the US.  We offer homes for sale that in most parts of the country seem unbelievable, and I am always ask why?  Part of the reason is the amount of land that we have to build on and develop, the cost of labor, and economic factors are the three top reasons.  The average cost of a home is only around $200,000 and that buys you a very nice home in great school districts, and great neighborhoods with outstanding amenities.  One of the top master planed communities on the west side of town in Katy Texas is Cinco Ranch. 

Cinco Ranch has several large stock lakes with 11+ pound bass,catfish, perch, etc. +bass fish free sail boats, a water park, seven pools, several tennis courts, and miles of nature trails for hiking and biking.  The price range in this master planned community of Cinco Ranch is an outstanding value of $175,000 to Million+ dollar homes.  It has one of the top rated school districts in the US, KIDS.  There is so much to do here it is like "taking a vacation without leaving home."  If you would like to know more about Cinco Ranch, or any of the other outstanding communities where you can still buy a home for under $200,000, please call or e-mail me for a free information package at 1-800-783-4041 or e-mail: LCarter21@aol.com, and I will get it to you. 

If you live in the area and just are curious about how much your home is worth, I can get the information to you with only a phone interview about your home.  People around the country talk about how hot our summers are, and how humid it is here, all that is true, however there have been many a Nov-Jan when I have been wearing shorts and looking at some of the bluesiest skies and wonderful sunsets in the world.  Combine that with our cost of living, and I'll take Houston, Katy, or Sugar Land or any of the surrounding areas any day.

March is one of the most glorious times of year to live in the greater Houston area.  This picture was taken in March when the Azaleas are in full bloom, the skies are bright blue, and the temperatures are in the 70's-80's.  What a perfect time to live here.  It more than makes up for July and August when it does get pretty hot here.  Katy is a suburb of Houston and is located 28 miles due west from downtown Houston.  It offers great subdivisions, outstanding top-rated KISD school district and great people.  Sugar Land is on the south/west side of Houston, and offers so much also that Money Magazine ranked Sugar Land as the 3d top small city in the US to live in.
