One of the best ways to judge the strength of the luxury housing market is to simply count the number of serious buyers at a weekend open house event. Recently, I held an open house at my new listing at 4325 Westway in Highland Park, Texas. This tasteful Fooshee & Cheek designed 1950 Colonial Revival home offers a spectacular opportunity to purchase an immaculate, designer-owned residence in the prestigious Highland Park Independent School District at the very competitive price of $1,199,000. Judging by the attendance at Sunday’s open house, a house with this much bang for the buck won’t last … (0 comments)
