It's a fabulous place :) The closest I've been to Fishtail is Red Lodge.

I've been searching for just about 2 years, the closest we've come to getting one was a bidding war on a duplex near Duke (we lost - by a lot).This would be our first home and I'm wondering if any of the folks at BP have some suggestions for us? 

I think the closest branch from West NY is in Englewood Cliffs which isn't too far.

Think closest one to you is in Milford.  

The closest comps are around 550-600k depending on upgrades. 

The closest and most similar lot sold 2 years ago for 120k. 

. :)The closest to this that now exists, for the cash heavy but income modest, is buying out the PMI upfront on a conventional mortgage, rather than ever making a monthly PMI payment.

For example if the house you are looking to buy is a 3bd 1ba 1 car garage built in 1970, try and find the 3 closest properties that has sold in the last 6 months as close to your property as possible.

To have a "legal" transaction the only things you need is property address, contract signed by both parties detailing terms, and proof of funds to close.  State

Pearland is arguably the closest suburb to the city as well.
