Twelve Months 2016 Market Report for Far West - MLS Area 25 I always prefer to examine year-to-date data throughout any given year and look at year to year comparisons for discovering market trends as I think there is too much volatility on a given month to month basis to make any good conclusions in this areas. My primary market is South Katy or MLS area 36. This Report covers MLS Area 25 of Far West/ North Katy. I am also interested in MLS area 37 Fort Bend West; MLS 29 Fort Bend-Sugar Land and Stafford plus a few others in Cypress TX.  Twelve months YTD 2016 versus Twelve months months YTD 2015 for MLS area 25 or Far West/North Katy comparison shows some interesting trends which probably will continue into 2017.   Units sold in 2016 have increased from 3,661 in 2015 to 3,976 during 2...

Fall Back Time  on Sunday November 6, 2016  I am writing to blog to remind everyone in advance of the time change which is to occur this weekend here in Katy TX plus most of the US. It is very easy to forget and obviously havoc can and does ensue.  It is the time of year to think about the end of Daylight Savings Time (DST) and setting your clocks, watches and timepieces back one hour. On Sunday November 6, 2016 at  2 AM daylight savings time officially ends and all timepieces need to be reset one hour back. I always use the old saying of “ Spring forward and Fall back” to remember what we have to do with setting the time. Set those timepieces back when you go to bed unless you are awake at 2 AM. I know I will not be awake at that time of the night.  Some countries around the World such...

Attended 5 Years and Younger Soccer Game Today - What a Hoot!  I need to explain why we were there today at this youth soccer game in Cypress TX. My youngest step-son’s significant other gave birth to his daughter and our granddaughter in July. She also has a 4 year old boy. He is just old enough to play youth soccer and he was signed up to play. The game started early this morning  and we went to see James play. They now live in Cypress which is close to where her family resides.  It has been many years since I have attended a soccer game at this age level. My son and daughter both played at the age of 4. My youngest step-son started playing when he was 5-6 we think and I attended his games as Yolanda and I were married back then. My oldest step-son started playing I believe when he wa...

Landfill Art Workshop at Lone Star College Cyfair Lyvia Alverez who is a Lone Star College graduate and local artists will conduct a no charge program on Wednesday August 10, 2016 titled “Landfill Art”. This seminar will discuss upcycling which is the artistic process of creating original artwork out of discarded items such as paper and cardboard. I think this is a leading edge idea and concept for artistic expression.  Lyvia basically uses distressed magazines and various thrown away objects to create layers upon layers in her art work. She wants to create something with an accurate perspective and to impart that feeling to the viewer of her work. .  This class is part of the Learning, Inspiration, Fellowship and Enrichment (L.I.F.E.) series which are offered  at 10 AM on Wednesday’s i...
