Kristin, don't feel stupid!!! I'm thrilled that your Florida home is finally under contract. We are very fortunate in Houston that we haven't experienced over-inflated prices like many other markets. While our home prices have gone up significantly over the past decade, our increases have been moderate and it is still a seller's market. Our inventory, particularly in close-in Houston is very low and in general for the entire city, there is only a 5 month supply of homes. Where I live and market, the supply of homes is less than 3 months and these areas are the most expensive parts of Houston. So many consumers in HOuston are concerned because of what is happening on a national level and are so thrilled that we have a very stable market...at least for now!

Hang in there. Nancy
