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 . . .
Swamplot runs on reader tips . . . and advertising! We appreciate the continued support of:

A reminder that this is “No Hunting for News; We Get All Our Stories from Reader Tips” Week at Swamplot. And . . . thanks to you, it’s been working pretty well so far! Yesterday was one of Swamplot’s highest-visitor-traffic days ever. Keep those tips coming!
This week’s lazy summer posting experiment continues! News from tips only: If it doesn’t show up in the Swamplot Inbox, you won’t read about it here.
How’s that working out so far? Stay tuned! In the meantime, if you’ve got something to report, send it in!
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.
When Swamplot sells advertising, it allows us to . . . uh, exist! So please support these advertisers who’ve been with us for a while:
And help welcome our latest addition:

Swamplot is off for a brief Christmas holiday. But if you find you just can’t stop thinking about Houston real estate in the meantime, there’s no need for you to take a vacation from the scene. Here are a few choice posts still here to entertain you from the Swamplot archives:
A brief apology to the many demolition fans who have been no doubt eager to learn the day’s destruction news. We’ve been having some difficulties bringing you Thursday’s demolition report, but promise to slot it into this space just as soon as we are able.
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.
