While our real estate market in Houston is not the disaster that many predicted with the Oil and Gas slowdown, lots of statistics point to a slowdown in real estate. 

My last piece of advice.. especially if you're doing fixer uppers.. expect 90% of the things to go wrong, life happens, you need to have the financial backing to pay for stuff... if not, you'll just be another statistic.  

@Will Jo The data I cited comes from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the U.S.

The use of the statistical information will allow to anticipate future developments, to supply the demand.Citizens bet on living in large urban centers.

Right now I'm waiting to hear back on an aggressive offer I put in last night for a gut rehab in Humboldt Park - bold, I know.

This is a statistical nightmare for sampling and data selection.mls entries vs populationHow many are actually buyers willing to make an offer? 

Failing that, statistics and data are a good starting point.

I cannot provide any figures, statistics etc but I can tell you three things: 1) you can "statistisize" the heck out of everything, 2) your statement is too broad and 3) it's too apodictic.It very much depends on how/where one invests.

I want to create a statistical model that can predict if a certain construction project will succeed or not.

Fortune favors the bold my friend.Good luck!
