BRYAN, TX -- The numbers don't look fabulous. But what we see in the Brazos Valley is the effect of the fear in the market- from the stock market decline and horrible national news. Bryan-College Station is in an insulated community but we still see some of the affects of the national news. By insulated, I mean that BCS has A&M University and great growth.

HOUSTON -- The Houston Chronicle reported this morning that the median price per square foot for homes sold in PARTS of the Houston area actually dropped in 2008. Increases were seen in parts of The Woodlands, the Inner Loop, Memorial and southwest Houston outside the 610 Loop. Not the end of the world, just a minor adjustment with the economy.
