Can we just be honest for a second? Buying a home is exciting AND terrifying AND emotional AND confusing — sometimes all in the same day. 😅

If you’re in the thick of it right now, just know it’s completely normal. And you don’t have to figure it out alone.

That’s literally what I’m here for. 🔑 Drop a ❤️ if this hit home.

We currently have about 4.4 months of housing supply. Here’s why that matters: Less than 5–6 months = seller-favored market More than 6 months = buyer-favored market At 4.4 months, we’re still in your favor— but things are shifting. If you’re waiting to list “later,” know this: Later may come with more competition and lower leverage. DM me and we can get the conversation going!

Montrose, we need to take a moment for Soundwaves.

Nearly 30 years at 3509 Montrose. A record, skate, and surf shop that drew DJs, local legends, and people who just needed to flip through vinyl for an hour and feel like themselves again. It's closing, and the 50% off everything sale right now is both a goodbye and a chance to take a little piece of it home. This neighborhood has always known how to grieve well — raise a pint at Rudyard's in its honor.

Speaking of Rudyard's: 2010 Waugh Drive, open since 1978, 46 years of pints and pool and darts and Gold Tooth Tony's Detroit-style pizza. The Riot Comedy Club upstairs. Pub Bingo on Mondays. Thursday Steak Night: 1 lb+ strip or ribeye, Caesar salad, Party Potatoes, and a pint for $32. This is the living room of Montrose, and it is exactly what it has always been, with no apologies to anyone.

Coming up Thursday May 15: New Orleans Night at Doc's Jazz Club, 1201 Westheimer — two sets (7 PM and 9:30 PM), $38.49 a ticket, timeless jazz classics with modern twists. Waugh Drive to Westheimer and back — that's a full evening in 77006.

Market: Montrose median is tracking around $762K, with 92 days on market and a genuinely balanced environment where buyers have time to think. If you're ready to talk real estate in the most interesting zip code in the city, I'm here: 832-657-3805.

MAD Love,

Pasadena, for your Saturday morning adventure: Armand Bayou Nature Center at 8500 Bay Area Blvd is running kayak tours and pontoon cruises all month. Four thousand acres of preserved bayou, 370+ Texas wildlife species, and alligators that show up without a reservation. Book in advance at abnc.org — this is one of the most underrated experiences in all of Harris County, sitting right in our backyard.

Market snapshot: Pasadena's average home value is around $218K–$245K, homes are going to pending in roughly 10 days, and about 19% are selling above list price. For buyers coming from the rest of Greater Houston, these price points are genuinely compelling. For sellers — the leverage is real. Either way, let's talk: 832-657-3805.

MAD Love,

From fields of waving prairie grasses, forested wetlands, and unspoiled bayous, ABNC is a place like no other. At the crossroads of 3 vulnerable gulf coast ecosystems, ABNC protects 2800 acres of rich wildlife habitat, home to over 370 species of Texas wildlife. For things to do in Houston ABNC has

We’ve all heard the horror stories. 😬🏠

Buying a home is one of the biggest decisions of your life — and there are SO many ways to accidentally sabotage it before you even get to the closing table.

From skipping inspections to opening new credit cards mid-process, these mistakes happen more often than you’d think. And the worst part? Most of them are completely avoidable.

If you’re getting ready to buy or just thinking about it, save this post and send it to a friend who needs to see it.

DM me and let’s talk! 👇

Houston, four of your restaurants just landed on Texas Monthly's Best New Restaurants of 2026 list — and Agnes and Sherman took the top spot as Restaurant of the Year. Meanwhile, Pinkerton's Barbecue locked in its second Bib Gourmand designation and held its spot on Texas Monthly's Top 50 BBQ Joints list. This city eats, and this city eats well.

Speaking of Pinkerton's: the brand-new Upper Kirby location at 3801 Farnham St opened in early 2026 in the old 59 Diner space — scratch-made daily, Copper Creek Prime Brisket, jalapeño cheese sausage links, and a retro aesthetic that fits Upper Kirby perfectly. Tue–Thu 11–9, Fri–Sat 11–10, Sun 11–9.

This Friday, May 23: Texas Monthly Taco Fest SOUTH at Discovery Green's Jones Lawn (5–8:30 PM) — 15 taquerias from TM's Top 50 Tacos list, live entertainment, $60 GA/$85 VIP, and a portion of proceeds benefits Feeding Texas. There is no better way to spend a Houston Friday evening.

Market reality: Greater Houston median sits at $330K (down a mild 1.5% YOY), 67 days on market, active listings up 8.7% to nearly 35,000 homes, and 4.7 months of inventory. A genuinely balanced market — reach out and let's make your next move a MAD good one.

MAD Love,
Melanie
