Houses zoned to Bellaire High School - is this a normal market?

[Misha K.]

We have been looking at homes zoned to Bellaire High School in Houston, TX. To "learn the market," we went to 10 open houses since early-to-mid February. Of those, only 1/10 has gone under contract and was finally sold. The other 9 are still on the market (90% on market > 1 month, sometimes >> 1 month).

I do realize that this area was hit hard by flooding. However, it seems that 90% of homes going unsold is a little high, even for February/March? Also, most of the homes we saw did not flood. Are we missing something?

Thank you so much!

That part of Houston got hit pretty hard by Harvey. I'd probably be a little shy about buying there.

Things are being snapped up quickly a little further southwest in Sugar Land.
