The Village of Sterling Ridge – The Woodlands
The Village of Sterling Ridge is one of the newer residential areas of The Woodlands, encompassing new homes in a wide range of styles and price ranges and offering a great selection of re sale homes that can fit any budget. Located on the North side of Houston with easy access to I45, the Woodlands has long been a favorite area for people looking for exemplary schools, beautiful wooded surroundings, and an atmosphere and environment that is second to none.
Sterling Ridge offers abundant walking trails and parks, fishing ponds, several water park style local swimming pools, and two village shopping centers offering grocery stores, banks, restaurants, and other neighborhood services. One of the most appealing aspects of this area is that residents can find everything they need within 10 to 15 minutes of where they live, and never actually leave the Woodlands!
Being such a desirable area has meant home prices remain largely unaffected by the overall housing market, maintaining and growing in value year after year. During the first quarter of 2011 there have been 31 homes sold in Sterling Ridge with an average sales price of $376,000 and size of 3300 square feet. Demand means that homes sell quickly, and for close to the listing price asked. Overall time on the market is just under 3 months, with well priced properties moving even more rapidly.
If you are interested in buying or selling a home in Sterling Ridge or the Woodlands in general, call Krista Wright at 832-585-3035.

How to Pick a Builder Right For You
Replication of an Article by John St. John Published in the February 2011 Edition of the HOUSTONREALTOR®
Building a custom home can and should be an enjoyable process. Picking a builder who is right for you is as essential as picking the architect to design your home. So where do you start?
REALTORS® offer much experience in guiding you to lot locations and product under construction and listed for sale. Often REALTORS® working or “farming” in your area of interest will have knowledge of builders to give you a great start. As you search with your realtor for a home site, talk about various builders and contact persons in each.
Should you decide to search on your own, you can explore the website of the Greater Houston Builders Association (ghba.org) and get a list of builders to target. Click on Custom Builders for more focus. You would want to interview builders to get a sense of connection, look at product for quality which meets your needs and desires, and receive references to check out. For custom builders you would expect to talk to the builder personally, be shown product, and develop a rapport that would be the foundation of a team to produce your unique home.
Spend quality time with our builder discussing your hopes, desires and dreams. Talk with the builder about his role as a team player with architects. Ask about the length of time estimated for a given project. Discuss how the builder interacts with engineers and inspectors. Ask the builder about his feelings about your project. Ask the builder how quality is controlled and how you can interact in the decision processes to achieve the quality you desire. Ask about customer service and performance on the home. Ask who will supervise your home and how changes will be handled. Ask for a copy of the contract to be used and read it.
Ask for opportunities to visit completed homes. Talk to clients who have used the builder not only recently but in past years. Ask “if they could make the choice again, would they make the same choice?” As you visit with these folks keep in mind they have gone through the process ahead of you and could offer great insight into what is ahead for you.
To quote a wise old gentleman who shared the best business advice possible, “What you don’t understand in the agreement comes out in the settlement.” Don’t be afraid, be informed. No question should be considered trivial if it is important to you. The builder will listen and respond. You evaluate and decide-not on price but in concept. The price would be the final criteria with size and quality adjusted to achieve that goal. Just agree on the adjustments!
Pick a builder only after your investigation gives you comfort that you are part of the team; you will be listened to, informed and satisfied. The perfect home has never been built, however, satisfied customers who enjoyed the process are daily moving into their new homes. Members of the Custom Builders’ Council welcome you to be added to that satisfied list.

5 More Foreclosure Myths – Busted!
On November 10th a Broker from San Francisco, CA named Tara-Nicholle Nelson posted this article as a blog on Trulia. Thinking it’s wonderful, I am re-posting on my blog for my readers…
Four years into the housing crisis, myths about foreclosure still litter the minds of even the smartest of real estate consumers. When it comes to matters as high stakes as your home, confusion can cost you thousands – or even your home. Whether you’re a buyer looking at foreclosures, a homeowner struggling to keep your home or a seller concerned making sure your home can compete with the foreclosed homes on your block, these foreclosure myths are prime for the busting, with no further ado.
Myth #1: Foreclosure happens fast. With unemployment and underemployment still affecting nearly 1 in every 4 Americans, no one is immune from fears that a pink slip might quickly turn into a foreclosure notice. According to NeighborWorks America, nearly 60 percent of families seeking foreclosure counseling cited a lost job or cut wages as the reason they were facing foreclosure.
While the Obama Administration’s Home Affordable Programs haven’t been nearly as effective as predicted in actually preventing foreclosures, they have had the effect of extending the foreclosure process for many families. Even though the legal process of foreclosure can happen in as few as 6 months in most states, it is currently taking much longer for the average foreclosure to get to completion. Recently, JP Morgan Chase revealed that their average borrower who loses a home to foreclosure has not made any payments in 14 months nationwide; 22 months in FLorida and 26 months in New York.
To be sure, some see this as a good, others view it as unnecessarily dragging out the overall market’s recovery. Many insiders will point out that these delays in foreclosure may be calculated to save the banks the costs of owning and maintaining foreclosed homes, not to help homeowners. In any event, the fact that foreclosure does not happen nearly as fast, in many cases, as expected does give families who are temporarily down on their luck some extra time to try to get back on their feet and save their homes.
Houston’s Industrial Absorption Rate Improves
HOUSTON (Houston Business Journal) – H-Town’s industrial market had a negative direct absorption of 1.4 million sf between January and September 2010, according to data released yesterday by Cushman & Wakefield of Texas Inc.

A total of 808,696 sf was delivered during the first three quarters of this year. By comparison, 4.2 million sf was built during the same period in 2009.
