Best times to buy in Houston

[Rick Alvi]

Hey guys,

I'm looking at my first primary residence. I have a feeling prices are inflated at the moment (summer) and was wondering if there is a general strategy in the Houston market to avoid some of the inflations we experience in home prices throughout the year (for ex: parents wanting homes in school districts near the start of the school semesters). My gut feeling is telling me October/November and possibly February/March may be the best times to buy for the best "deals." Thanks!

Try finding bank-owned properties.   Some folks are still buying too much house for their earned income to support or they lose their job.  They do short a sell through their bank.  Sometimes, not all the time, you can get a good deal.  I'm working one right now.  

Another option is using a wholesaler...there are more wholesalers on this sight than there are attorneys in New York city.
