The Houston Association of Realtors (HAR.com) reported Houston home sales up again for April. Sales were up about 25% over April of last year.

Lindale Park- You Must Visit! I’m amazed at how many friends and clients I have who live inside the loop, or just outside, who know nothing about Lindale Park.
