Hello BBBB Friends:
Groundhog Day is here, and Punxsutawney Phil has spoken—six more weeks of winter! While that might mean a little extra chill in the air, Houston’s real estate market is already warming up. This week’s lineup of Heights homes has something for everyone, from charming historic bungalows to sleek modern builds and even a few with serious backyard potential. Whether you’re looking for move-in ready or a home with room to make your mark, there’s plenty to see. And as always, keep scrolling down so you don’t miss updates on homes that are “Still on My List”.
Let’s dive in—no shadowy surprises here, just great homes worth a look.
Have a great week, and,
Let’s look at houses or talk about selling yours!
