Becky's Best Bungalow Bets for May 8, 2022: Happy Mother's Day!

Hello BBBB Friends:

Happy Mother’s Day! Today I am featuring two new listings, but be sure to keep scrolling down for price improvements, new contracts, and final sales for those homes that are Still on My List.

FUN STUFF

Monday, May 9: The theme for this month’s Houston Heights Association general meeting is, “Destinations, Locations, Recreation, Fun”. Guests from the Houston Film Commission, AIA Houston, and Bike Houston, will be sharing Houston’s Best Kept Secrets at the Heights Fire Station, 12th & Yale from 6:30 PM-8:00 PM.

Weekend, June 4-5: The 17th Houston Heights Bicycle Rally & Scavenger Hunt. This two-day weekend event is not a race but rather a casual self-paced ride. Identify mystery objects and sights along the way for a chance to win the scavenger hunt. Both 15 and 5-mile routes are offered. Early bird pricing ends May 23rd.

Let’s go look at houses or talk about selling yours!!!
