Hello BBBB Friends:
It should be beautiful, clear, and cool today, perfect for house hunting if you can pull yourself away from the Olympics and preparations for the Superbowl! A flurry of listing activity late in the week provided several great new listings and I have selected 6 to feature today. For price changes, new contracts, and final sales for homes that are Still on My List keep scrolling down.
THIS WEEK
Celebrate Valentines Day tomorrow with your neighbors at the Heights Fire Station. In addition to Valentine goodies, tree giveaways, and door prizes, learn about Houston Heights Association events, parks, and membership. Doors open at 6:30 pm at 107 W 12th St.
Let’s go look at houses or talk about selling yours!!!
