- highway accessibility
- looking for an acre +
- good schools

Can you buy in the villages for 2m?

Absolutely, and this is the right answer.
Check Campbell place too

that'll be $59,850. YWIA.

If you're interested in the northern burbs, Bender's Landing. Just make sure you avoid the section that flooded.
In The Woodlands, you could find that in 77380, but it may need updating/be very taste-specific.

yes someone who has 2mil to buy a house consults Texags first.
an acre+ in the Villages will be tough, even at $2MM
Nice house, even cooler lot, but be prepared to flood.BMX Bandit said:

that's exactly what I was thinking.
They don't specifically say "never flooded" so I would have to assume they did.

Agreed. Feels like you have to look outside of Houston to find more than an acre.

Maybe a low ball offer on this place?
Just have Jamie rebate his typical 2/3's and that's an $80K discount already. This house nearly pays for itself.Quote:
The builder/seller is willing to pay an EXCEPTIONAL 4% commission to the broker/agent that will bring him a buyer. This could be a +/- $120,000 commission - don't miss out.
This is the most genius but obvious user name ever. Thanks for your courage and service. A thread like this is needed during these COVID times.
BTW - if you need a realtor my cousin Brenda is getting her RE license. She's also a hair dresser but the government with all its restrictions are hurting her income so she's branching out. She might be a little green but she's got great big knockers and low self esteem so you might enjoy her company. IYKWIM
Plus, it's just real estate so as long as you have a connection to the Interwebs you just need an agent to get through the front door and even Brenda can do that.
Good luck on your search!

I hear Cousin Bren prefers the back door.
I tell people this all the time. There are too many smokin hot real-estate agents to not pick one based on looks alone.

Username checks out.
sounds better than "Levelland"
yeah Fulshear has been known to refer to itself as a Polo Capitol (of Texas?) for a long time. There are homes out here with their own polo fields.I Am A Critic said:Texas Polo Country?

I read "incredible Bayou views" in the description and immediately thought "yep, and the bayou comes into view in your kitchen when it rains hard enough".Diggity said:

my first though was flooding

A sock account literly named sock. Very legit.
Beautiful lot. Not sure about that chocolate river in the background though.BMX Bandit said:

This looks suspiciously like another MFBarnes sock (or should I say $ock?). Hardest working sock on texags.
Meh. It's all derivative.
The new bulkhead alone tells me it floosed.and needed to be rebuilt.
Acres homes has many options on an acre within your price range.
High Meadow Ranch is easy access to 249 but it's Magnolia and the schools suck.
A lot that big in the Villages that doesn't flood is worth around $1.5MM...so no you;re not going to get anything reasonably updated for 2MM or under. One exception would be in one of the random 77063 spots.
That Memorial Pt home above gives me anxiety just looking at the photos. That giant brand new bulkhead and the way the bayou appears to flow directly into the home. No way in hell I'd buy that. If I was the realtor I would take out that last photo - looks ominous as F!

"underwent a major remodel in 2020" --> new drywall?

Besides the obvious flooding that everyone has mentioned, if I was doing Memorial it would be west of Bunker Hill to be zoned to Memorial Middle. The gap b/t MM and Spring Branch Middle appears to be large, at least based on rankings.
Bellaire is a decent option as well. You can definitely find a 1/2 acre under $2m. The acre lots are few and far between, especially with a decent house, elevated, and under $2m.
I actually bet they would take $2m for this house. Its one of the ugliest houses in the neighborhood, but it's got a lot of sq ft and an acre lot. I doubt they end up getting much more than lot value.
