Westin Homes has been a recognized name among Houston builders for over 20 years. It has become a name synonymous with elegance and warmth as the Westin brand prides itself on offering the “sophisticated luxury home” and not overlooking any detail. Westin Homes offers seven floor plans in The Groves, with price points starting in the low $280s. Currently there are seven inventory homes in the neighborhood, each with four bedrooms and all of the Westin touches their clients have come to expect and love. Outside of the distinguished builders, The Groves is attracting buyers with the community amenities and their proximity to schools within the award winning Humble ISD. The Groves Elementary is slated to open its doors to students for the 2017- 2018 school year. A new Humble ISD middle school is scheduled to be complete and ready for students the following school year, 2018- 2019. The Westin Homes model home is located at 12915 Fernbank Drive and is open seven days a week, including this Saturday during The Groves annual Earth Day Birthday Festival. This even is open to the public and is a great time to get a feel of what this community could offer you. With activities for the family and open houses held by all 10 builders in The Groves, you don’t want to miss this chance. Give our office a call and have one of our agents show you around and let you experience what life in Atascocita could look like for you. *photo from...

Tropical Storm Bill made landfall on Matagorda Island just before noon on Tuesday. It brought even more rain to the greater Houston area, which is still saturated and trying to recover from the flooding that occurred at the end of May as a result of record rainfall. At 1:00am Wednesday morning, Bill was downgraded to a tropical depression as it continues to make its way north through Texas and in to Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, and Illinois. Some say it is possible that Bill or its remnants may produce heavy rainfall in as many as seven states, from Texas to Indiana. The tail of the storm continues to bring rain to the Houston area, even though the center of the storm has now reached the northern part of the state. The rain could last through Saturday, June 20. This storm renews the risk of flash flooding for Houston and increases the chance of damages to property around our already overflowing rivers and waterways. Several roads are flooded as well, so take caution and check for closures before traveling around Houston for the next few days. Bill is now the second storm to make landfall in the 2015 Atlantic hurricane season. This is the first time since 1871 that there have been two tropical storm-strength landfalls this early in the season. However, overall, this year’s hurricane season is expected to be less active than usual, so perhaps soon Houston can catch a break from the rain and flooding.

On June 9, the Harris County Office of Emergency Management released its preliminary report for the flood damage that occurred as a result of several storm systems that passed through the Houston area in late May. The damage was fairly widespread, with eleven Harris county municipalities suffering damages, though the city of Houston itself was the hardest hit. According to the report, a total of at least 2,516 residences and 73 businesses were affected by the flooding, and at least 2 Houston homes were completely destroyed. 2,195 of those residences and 53 of those businesses were in Houston proper while the rest were in the surrounding cities of Bellaire, Pasadena, West University Place, Bunker Hill Village, Galena Park, Hillshire Village, Hedwig Village, Piney Point Village, Spring Valley Village, and Hunters Creek Village. (See the full report here.) As a result, Houston-area insurance companies are scrambling to keep up with the flood damage claims. Economists at BBVA Compass estimate the economic impact of the damages could be anywhere from $200-$550 million, which is less than the impact of Hurricane Ike in 2008 (about $154 billion in today’s dollars) and Tropical Storm Allison in 2001 (about $6.7 billion in today’s dollars), but it is still a significant amount. And the economists noted also that this does not take into account the as-yet-unknown cost to repair the Southwest Wastewater Plant. A report is not yet available for Montgomery County because they are still gathering data, but damage has been reported there as well, especially in areas near the San Jacinto River and the Lewis Creek Dam. On June 8, Liberty County extended its Commissioner’s...
