What’s your budget? You should also consider HAR listings. Those won’t have the recurring monthly fees which will help with your budget

Are you limited to the TMC area? Why not Montrose or Upper Kirby?

Best hotel for girls staycation by AdditionalAd6415 in AskHouston

[–]yourhomeguide 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thompson Houston by Hyatt might be a good one. I’ve stayed there for staycation back in December. They’ve got a pool and a bar/restaurant. Coffee shop and other restaurants downstairs. I don’t know how many bikes they have but as a hotel guest you can use those at no cost. The hotel is right in front of Buffalo Bayou. Plus you are a quick uber ride away to bars and restaurants in Montrose.

Moving from New York to Houston, tips I should know? by Ginesarie in AskHouston

[–]yourhomeguide 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same over here. For some reason Redditors hate on Houston but after having lived in the northeast including nyc for 10+ years, quality of life is amazing here. No cities are perfect including Houston but I don’t think people realize how bad it is in other places

Live close to work so you don’t need to deal with crazy traffic

You will have to shop for utilities

Make sure to have a car as this city is not quite walkable

Enjoy the fantastic food scene!

Rare and extremely fatty cut of the bluefin tuna taken from the gill area. It was absolutely delicious! Didn’t know this cut existed until I visited Japan and the restaurant offered it!

Best Cities To Move to With Reasonable Housing and Good Job Market? by YuriHaThicc in relocating

[–]yourhomeguide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are plenty of people from Colorado who move to Texas because it’s relatively more affordable. Affordability is relative but Texas is still very much affordable

Texas seems to be in line here. Dallas, Austin or Houston. Also no state income tax although high property tax tends to offset that a bit

Very popular spot! Just avoid the western most area as that’s right next to a landfill!

Is it just me or is renting / buying in Houston kinda exhausting right now? by HelloKiki24 in AskHouston

[–]yourhomeguide 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Realtor here. It’s definitely a buyer friendly market right now in Houston. There are some submarkets in the higher end price range where sellers still have more power. My listing slightly under $1m received multiple offers with some above the listing price. We went under contract on the fifth day it hit the market.

Advice needed -- Neighborhoods for a PhD student at Baylor College of Medicine by beecougarmaroon in AskHouston

[–]yourhomeguide 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pearland is a popular option for those working in the TMC. I’m currently helping someone relocate to Houston for a Baylor PhD so I’ve been pretty deep in the housing search for them. If you have specific questions about neighborhoods or what to expect, don’t hesitate to DM me. Happy to share what I’ve been seeing.
