I lived just outside of houston for a long time. My cousin just called me the other day and told me he picked up a 2300ft house and the payment is 1260 a month. wages should be comparable might not be as high cops though been too long since I was there lol

1. Not to bad. A 2,100/2,300 sq. ft. 4 bed, 3 1/2 bath home would go from $150 to $250.

2. Seems to be plenty of construction. I live on the east side of Houston near Galveston Bay. Among all the refinery's and chemical plants.

3. Hot during the spring, summer, and fall. Winter? not much of one. Spring and fall are nice. Right now the weather is like 30% chance of rain through September and hot, 90's, with a possiblity of a hurricane.

5. Not too bad. But depends where you live. On the west side, bad, very bad. Lots of construction on I-10.

Oh, one more thing. It's flat down here.

I am actually moving to Houston in August. Go to www.realtor.com and it has all the listings. (National Assoc. of Realtors owns this site). There is a huge amount of commercial construction happening in Houston, which is why I am moving back. I will be working for Prudential Gary Green in West Houston. If you like, I can email you listings when I join the Houston board in a few days. Email me if you are interested texas.realtor@yahoo.com
