montgomery county: Montgomery County Texas Real Estate Activity - 09/28/11 09:49 AM

Home Sales in the Montgomery County area went way up over the last month due to home buyers taking advantage of historically low interest rates.   Just in the month of August, sales increased almost 36 % from August 2010, a total of 172 more homes sold this year.

montgomery county: State of the Housing Market - Montgomery County 2008 - 01/26/09 03:24 AM
The ailing U.S. economy sent ripples across Montgomery County in 2008.  "These are some of the toughest economic times our country has ever experienced..." said Michael Levitin, HAR Chairman.  Levitin contributed the tough times to news of layoffs, declining oil prices and other negative financial reports.
However, during a late November stop in Houston, the National Association of REALTORS® Cheif Economist, Lawrence Yun, praised the stability of the Houston market.  Currently the Houston area and the Denver area are predicted to be the nation's top performers in 2009.  Other predictions include at least a 5% increase in home pricing, and month's … (1 comments)

montgomery county: Montgomery County Cattle Barons Ball - 11/25/08 02:23 AM
Saturday night was another great evening to get all dressed up and out on the town for a very good cause.  The Montgomery County Cattle Baron's Ball is always a huge event here benefitting cancer.  As a spinal cord tumor survivor, this event really does touch me in a very personal way.  I know that almost all of us have been touched by cancer in some form or fashion if not personally then someone we know or love.  It is that one word we never, ever want to hear our doctor utter to us.
The ball was very well attended out … (0 comments)

Yesterday myself and team mate Jay Mac Sanders attended our very last HAR/TAR Leadership class.  We were invited to the Houston Port Authority where we were briefed on the incredible import and export business of Houston.  If you want to know how our local economy is, visiting the ports of Houston is an eye opener!  According to the number of imports and exports coming in and out of Houston, our local economy is doing very well.  We were told that the port has experienced a huge increase in the shipment of new home supplies such as appliances, gypsum for sheetrock and … (1 comments)

montgomery county: Commercial Real Estate - 10/16/08 04:21 AM
Despite all of the negativity about the national economy, just taking a look around Montgomery County makes one take pause and ask some questions.  Anyone who has taken a drive from the southern part of the county up through the northern corridor sees a great deal of activity and growth.
The workforce is strong in Montgomery County and our area is very diverse and strong.  The number of new businesses that have chosen this area continues to show positive growth.  Thankfully, Montgomery County is truly a great place to live and to work.  A very strong educational system continues to support … (1 comments)
