    Home Appreciation in The Woodlands

    Post Category: Community,Neighborhoods,Real Estate — Greg Flory @ 12:11 pm

    A five-year history of home appreciation in The Woodlands is available at http://www.micheleflory.com/Community/Appreciation-Rate-Charts/

    The data source is the annual median sales price per square foot from the Houston Association of Realtors database. The data was compiled first by list price range, then by private pool status (Yes or No). A trendline was added to each category to indicate projected direction.

    Due to the lack of consistant field data input, we are unable to create charts for specific villages. The next series of charts will compare zip codes unique to The Woodlands.

    Future events that should dramatically improve the rate of appreciation in The Woodlands will be the new home construction build-out estimated to be 2007 for production homes and 2009 for custom homes. All new construction will then occur in the new Creekside Park village in Harris County.

    As always, a disclaimer statement must be made about the source of the data being deemed reliable, but not verified. We welcome recommendations/suggestions on additional appreciation comparisons.

    Post Category: Community — Michele Flory @ 11:33 am

    The "Star-Spangled Salute" free concert kicks off patriotic activities in The Woodlands on Monday, July 3, beginning at 8 pm at The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion. The gates open at 6:30 pm with activities for children and families in The Pavilion's North Plaza including free pictures with The Woodlands' lovable mascot, Puffy Pine Cone, from 6:45 pm until 7:45 pm.

    This Independence Eve spectacular features the world-renowned Houston Symphony with a selection of patriotic favorites led by Principal Pops Conductor Michael Krajewski. Highlights include Sousa's "Semper Fidelis", the "Overture of Oklahoma", Tchaikovsky's ever-popular "1812 Overture" complete with cannons fired from atop the hill and more. Joining the Houston Symphony in this patriotic tribute is American Idol Finalist and resident of The Woodlands, Will Makar. Makar will perform "Let Freedom Ring", Prechel's "American Sing-Along" and "God Bless America".

    A silent auction will be held at the concert by the South County 4th of July Committee. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to community charitable organizations. The Woodlands Development Company has sponsored the "Star-Spangled" salute concert since its inception in 1990.
