Two phone plans can have the same phone.
The monthly fee is where they're different.
Houses in Northwest Houston work the same way.

Ask your cousin: "Which MUD district is that house in? And what's the rate?" Thirty years says it matters.

A MUD (Municipal Utility District) is common in newer Houston-area communities. It helps pay for water, sewer and drainage, and it shows up as its own line on your property taxes.

Here's why it's worth asking:

1️⃣ Two similar homes a few miles apart can have very different tax rates
2️⃣ That difference shows up in your monthly payment
3️⃣ Over thirty years, it adds up to real money
4️⃣ The listing price won't tell you, but the tax line will

What I do on every purchase: we look up the MUD and the full tax picture before you fall in love with a house, so the payment you plan for is the payment you get.

Hey guys... Tuesday is Election Day, and here's a quirk that trips up neighbors every cycle.

Harris County is a food court: on November 3 you can use any Election Day vote center. Montgomery County is a reserved seat: you vote at your assigned precinct polling place.

Polls in both counties are open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. And a Spring mailing address doesn't guarantee Harris County, while New Caney ISD spans both counties. The mailman's map and the county's map are not the same map.

Bottom line: pull your personal sample ballot before Tuesday so you know your county, your district and your races. I'm not telling you how to vote, just making sure you land at the right door.

Moving off the grid sounds like freedom.
Until you realize you're now the power company.
Buying acreage works the same way.

"Five acres, no HOA, nobody telling us what to do." It can absolutely be the dream. But out there, you're your own utility company.

Here's what's different about buying land:

1️⃣ Where's your water coming from? A well needs its own inspection.
2️⃣ Where's the waste going? A septic needs a separate inspection too.
3️⃣ Neither one is included in a standard home inspection.
4️⃣ That mowed strip through the back is usually an easement, and it belongs to somebody who isn't you.

Acreage is a completely different transaction: different documents, different inspections, different everything.

What I do on every land deal: we order the right inspections, read the plat and easements before you're committed, and make sure nothing about the property surprises you after closing.

📏 If you learn one real estate number this fall, make it this one. It decides how your offer gets treated.

Months of inventory. Houston single-family: 5.5 months in September, up from 5.1. Four to six months is what the industry calls balanced — a rule of thumb, not a standard.

Now the part nobody says out loud: townhomes and condos sit at 9.3 months, up from 8.0. Same city, same month, two different negotiations.

Which is why "how's the Houston market?" has no honest answer. There isn't one market. There's a single-family market roughly in the balanced range, and a condo and townhome market where sellers have waited much longer. Which one you're in changes what you can ask for.

Bottom line: ask which market, not how's the market.

Hey guys... a town's event calendar is its receipt. The brochure tells you what a place promises; the calendar shows what actually got bought.

Here is the Conroe and Montgomery receipt for the Halloween weekend, Oct. 30 to Nov. 1, every item dated and sourced:

🎃 Friday: free trunk-or-treats at TLE Conroe (6:30 to 8:30 p.m.) and Kids 'R' Kids of Lake Conroe (7 p.m.)
🚗 Saturday: a free cruise-in at Incredible Pizza (9 a.m. to noon) and a Halloween festival in Historic Downtown Montgomery (2 to 6 p.m.)
🎪 All weekend: Garden Bros Nuclear Circus at the Lone Star Convention & Expo Center

Bottom line: if you are eyeing a home near Airport Road, Loop 336 or downtown Montgomery, drive it on an event day and again on a quiet one. A Tuesday showing is a rehearsal, not the play.

Bread is fresh on the first day.
By day nine, people start checking it for mold.
A listing works the same way.

"Let's test the market at a higher number. We can always come down." It sounds harmless. But by week nine, buyers aren't asking what the house is worth anymore. They're asking what's wrong with it.

Here's how it usually goes:

1️⃣ Weeks 1 and 2: the most buyers you'll ever get see it, and pass on the price
2️⃣ Weeks 3 to 6: showings slow down, and so does the feedback
3️⃣ The first price cut lands, and fewer people notice than noticed the launch
4️⃣ Week nine: "Days on market" starts doing the talking for you

The market didn't get tested. It got trained to ignore your house.

What I do on every listing: we find the pre-listing problems before buyers do, and launch at a price that earns attention in the first two weeks.

🗳️ There's a $1.6 billion bond on the Cy-Fair ballot and a tax-rate change next to it — and most of the posts I've seen only mention one of them.

Early voting runs through Oct 30, Election Day is Nov 3, so this is the week it's worth reading the whole line 👇

📋 WHAT'S ACTUALLY ON IT (Cy-Fair ISD voters only)
🏷️ Prop A — M&O tax rate: +12¢ per $100, from $0.6669 to $0.7869
🏗️ Prop B — bonds: ~$1.300B, existing facilities, safety, transportation, infrastructure
💻 Prop C — bonds: ~$256.1M, instructional technology and CTE equipment
🏟️ Prop D — bonds: $60.8M, existing athletic stadiums
🏊 Prop E — bonds: ~$20.1M, existing swimming facilities
📊 Bond total: ~$1.636B — each proposition is voted separately

🧮 THE PART THAT GETS LEFT OUT
📉 Debt service rate, projected: down 3¢, from 40¢ to 37¢
➕ M&O rate: up 12¢
🟰 Net change against last year's total rate: about 9¢
🏡 District's own estimate on a $350,000 home with applicable homestead exemptions: about $126 a year, roughly $10.50 a month

(Source: Cy-Fair ISD election materials, reported by My Neighborhood News, Oct 19, 2026. These are the district's projections and they assume all five propositions pass.)

A ribbon-cutting is news. A closing is truth. 🏡

Community Impact reports that Tomball's first Sam's Club is scheduled to open November 19 at 13255 N. Grand Parkway (report of Oct. 26). Dates on this one have shifted before, so I'm treating November 19 as the scheduled date, not a promise.

Here's what I tell buyers and sellers: a new store is a new pin on your map, not a new number on your appraisal. It changes your errand drive. Nobody can promise it changes your price.

Buyers: time the drive yourself, once on a Saturday morning and once on a weekday around 5 p.m.
Sellers: state the distance as a fact and skip the value promises.

🎯 Somebody told me Houston prices are falling off a cliff. So I pulled the September board.

Median single-family price: $325,000. Last September: $325,990. A 0.3% difference — about three hundred dollars on an entire house. Prices didn't fall off anything. They sat down.

What moved is the cost of money. The 30-year fixed national average was 7.32% the week of Oct 22, up from 6.19% a year ago (Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey, national average). That's the number doing the work in every "market is crashing" post.

Straight with you: that change is real and it matters to a payment. But it's a financing story, not a price story — and the fix for a financing story is a lender, not a listing. I'm not one.

A new pilot can be smart, skilled and great with passengers.
The one you want in a storm has already flown through one.
Choosing an agent works the same way.

"Our neighbor just got her license and offered to help us." She might be great. Some of the sharpest people I've met in this business were six months in: hungry, responsive, all over every detail. Being new doesn't make somebody bad.

Here's what you really need from an agent:

1️⃣ Smart
2️⃣ Skilled
3️⃣ Easy to work with
4️⃣ Having already seen your exact situation go sideways

She may be all of the first three. The fourth can't be studied. It only comes from experience.

I'm not telling you not to use her. I'm asking you to think about what that fourth thing is worth on the biggest purchase you'll ever make.
