When I bought my house in First Colony, Sugar Land almost 2 years ago, there were plenty of listings for sale. Now that I'm almost certainly going to be selling, I see hardly any for sale on Zillow and none that were recently sold.

What's going on? Are people really not wanting to sell now, or are people just not interested in buying?

Inventory is lower than the norm because they are selling.

Go on HAR.com - zillow info is about 90% incorrect. Zillow pulls from HAR, but doesn't update. HAR updates every night from the MLS. There are probably places in the United States where zillow provides at least a little info, in an area where there isn't anything else - but nothing beats HAR. Zillow is useless.

We were looking in First Colony four years ago, and it was hard... at least if you want more than 2.5 bathrooms. We found a place but the people refused to fix their bad roof and a/c, so we ended up elsewhere. Got the impression that the good places go fast, that may be why you're not seeing much.

Seems to be a total seller's market in First Colony. You will probably do very well.

My first house was in First Colony. Absolute seller market 2 years ago when I sold. We had 21 showings in 2 weeks and we sold on the second week. 3 parties were interested and we took the first come first serve approach. We didn't expect to move it so quick and we got kicked out our house while building the other one. But this was a good problem to have after a great value increase, about 37% in 7 years. Not bad at all for a first house
