I have enough to give a solid assessment. Note: Zillow itself blocked automated access, so I'm working from the listing data mirrored on other sites plus neighborhood market data. ## Short answer: Yes — it looks like a good deal, on paper **The listing:** 16310 Pinon Vista Dr, Houston, TX 77095 — 4 bed / 2.5–3 bath, ~2,834 sq ft (some sources say 2,751 sq ft), built 2004, in the gated **Stone Gate** community, MLS #18382578, listed at **$350,000** ([Zillow listing summary via search](https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/16310-Pinon-Vista-Dr-Houston-TX-77095/68411774_zpid/), [Homes.com](https://www.homes.com/property/16310-pinon-vista-dr-houston-tx/kwvbcjn33veqc/), [Movoto](https://www.movoto.com/houston-tx/16310-pinon-vista-dr-houston-tx-77095-403_84149612/)). ### Why it looks cheap - **Price per sq ft:** $350,000 ÷ 2,834 ≈ **$124/sq ft** (Movoto also lists $124/sq ft). Stone Gate's median sale price per sq ft is about **$142** over the last 12 months, with a median sale price of **$400,000** across 57 sales ([Houston Prime Realty / HAR MLS](https://houston-real-estate.houstonprimerealty.com/i/stone_gate_homes_for_sale_houston_tx_77095)). That's roughly **12–13% below** the neighborhood's typical $/sq ft. - **HCAD data** puts Stone Gate's median appraised value at **$139/sq ft** ([Harris Value](https://harrisvalue.com/neighborhood/212.06)) — again above this home's ask. - **Automated estimate:** Movoto shows an estimated value of **$387,000** vs. the $350,000 ask — about 10% below estimate ([Movoto](https://www.movoto.com/houston-tx/16310-pinon-vista-dr-houston-tx-77095-403_84149612/)). - **Comparable nearby listings** in 77095 are asking more for similar size: e.g., 16011 Pinyon Creek Dr at $380,000 (4bd/3ba, 2,394 sq ft) and 7927 High Knoll Ln at $435,000 (4bd/4ba, 2,821 sq ft) ([Estately 77095 listings](https://www.estately.com/listings/info/16310-pinon-vista-drive-houston-tx-77095--4)). ### Costs to factor in - **Taxes:** ~2.21% combined rate (Cy-Fair ISD, Harris County, Remington MUD No. 1, Lone Star College, ESD 9; no City of Houston tax) → roughly **$7,700–$8,800/yr** on this price before exemptions ([Houston Prime Realty](https://houston-real-estate.houstonprimerealty.com/i/stone_gate_homes_for_sale_houston_tx_77095)). - **HOA:** **$1,490/yr** for gated sections (this home is in gated Stone Gate) ([same source](https://houston-real-estate.houstonprimerealty.com/i/stone_gate_homes_for_sale_houston_tx_77095)). - **Schools:** Cy-Fair ISD — Spillane MS (A, 94) and Cypress Falls HS (B, 85); elementary depends on section (Lamkin C/78 north, Birkes A/92 south) — worth verifying for this address. ### Caveats / red flags to check 1. **Conflicting listing history.** The same address has appeared at **$370,000** (MLS #39049649, 2,751 sq ft), **$399,000** (MLS #19136319), and now **$350,000** (MLS #18382578). That pattern of repeated relistings and price cuts can signal a motivated seller — or an issue (condition, flood history, inspection findings). Ask the agent for the full MLS history. 2. **Square footage discrepancy** (2,751 vs 2,834 sq ft) — verify against HCAD records; it changes the $/sq ft math. 3. **Flood risk** — this is northwest Houston near US-290; Stone Gate has had flood exposure in past events. Pull the FEMA flood zone and seller's flood disclosure. 4. **Built 2004** — roof, HVAC, and water heater are likely at or past end of life; budget for replacements. 5. **Market direction** — Stone Gate's $/sq ft is **down 7.7% YoY** and 77095's average home value is down ~2% YoY, so don't assume quick appreciation. **Bottom line:** At ~$124/sq ft against a ~$142/sq ft neighborhood median and a ~$387K automated estimate, this is priced like a value/below-market listing. That's attractive — but the multiple relistings and price drops are exactly the kind of thing that produces below-market pricing, so the deal quality hinges on the inspection, flood history, and why it hasn't sold. Get the full MLS history and a thorough inspection before treating it as a bargain. *Note: Zillow, Redfin, HAR.com, Realtor.com, and Movoto all blocked direct automated access, so the listing specifics above come from search-result summaries of those pages plus the accessible sources linked.*
