  Of the 74 homes currently for sale in the Washington Corridor/Rice Military area in Houston almost 70% of those homes are stucco.  There are special considerations when buying a home constructed with stucco in a humid climate. ·         Is the home synthetic stucco (referred to as EIFS but pronounced EFIS)?  Synthetic stucco proved problematic and has fallen out of favor, but you should get confirmation from the inspector that the stucco is concrete and not synthetic. If you are relocated through your work, be aware that some companies won’t extend relocation benefits to homes built with EIFS.    ·         Should you get a stucco inspection?  I believe a stucco inspection is always in order.  There are several types of stucco inspections: visual, air quality and invasive.    o   A vis...

It's a Job AND a Work Out (Perspectives on Real Estate and More from a Home Staging Pro)           Yes, it is true.  I get paid to work out.  Okay, I get paid to stage houses and the work out is my bonus.  The jobs that give me the best work out are the multi-story townhome and I have staged quite a few of them.         Recently I had the opportunity to stage a three story town house in the Rice Military area.  It was the first time I’d had an opportunity to work with the agent, Sam Carratala of RE/MAX Real Estate Associates.  Sam has a keen understanding of the power of Home Staging and he did a great job a facilitating my interactions with the out of town seller.          As it turns out, the seller received a cash offer less than 6 weeks after listing.  I thought I’d share a few pict...

Rice Military was redeveloped into a trendy neighborhood consisting of contemporary attached and detached townhomes starting in late 1990s. The boundaries of the Rice Military neighborhood are Washington Avenue (North) Memorial Drive (South) Shepherd Drive(East) and Westcott Street (West). Rice Military, which is conveniently located Inside the Loop, is in walking distance to Memorial Park. The area was named “Rice” as the people who owned it were members of the Rice family; the Rice family included William Marsh Rice, who founded the Rice Institute (now Rice University). The term “Military” is a reference to the neighborhood’s bordering of what was once Camp Logan, a World War I-era U.S. Army training camp. Median Price/Sq Ft is between $140-$185 depending on location and amenities. Pr...
