The Lazy Blog’s Way To Houston Real Estate Riches

Hey, the tips keep coming! And so Swamplot gets to pass on these rich little stories to you, as our week-long story-hunting embargo continues.

Speaking of which, there probably won’t be a weekend open-house tour this week. That is, unless someone wants to send in a nice, juicy tip filled with, say, 4 to 6 open houses scheduled for this weekend in a neighborhood that hasn’t been covered that way here recently . . .

Short Swamplot Summer Experiment: Tips Only!

Drawn to lurid spectacle like the worst freeway rubbernecker, Swamplot is dedicated to covering Houston real estate. But hey, it’s the deepest part of the summer. Can’t we fit a vacation in here somewhere?

Here’s an idea: Swamplot will keep posting this week . . . but only on stories we receive reader tips about. How’s that for a compromise? If it’s important, you’ll write in about it, no? Otherwise, we’ll take a break from pounding the pavement pixels and try to enjoy some of this nice dry weather we’re having.

Yes, this experiment includes the Neighborhood Guessing Game. If you’ve got a candidate for this week’s round, send it in! Otherwise, we’ll take the week off with that too.

Hello from Swamplot

A quick welcome to this site to our many new Crowne-Plaza-demolition-googling visitors.

Swamplot covers Houston real estate investing and development, home buying and selling, home design and architecture, and the Bayou City landscape. We also publish a daily list of Houston buildings that are about to be demolished. So if a disturbing videotaped implosion mystery interrupts this city’s regular pattern of construction and destruction . . . hey, we’ll be happy to bring you information about that too.

If you like what you see on this site, or if you want to receive updates on some of the topics you’ve read about here, please subscribe to the Swamplot RSS feed. (What’s an RSS feed?)

Or just come back and visit here often.
