    Greater Houston homebuyers are falling in love with communities that offer pockets of affordability, according to a ranking from the Houston Association of REALTORS®.

    The association ranked the Houston-area neighborhoods with the greatest annual increase in transactions to determine which neighborhoods grew most in popularity among homebuyers in 2025 and found that seven of the top 10 had average home prices below the area median average of $416,722.

    Transactions increased most in Brookshire, where sales were up 124.6% year over year and had an average sales price of $311,463; followed by Waller, up 113.5% year over year with an average of $317,113; and the Crosby area, up 68.8% year over year with an average of $273,880.

    One outlier on HAR’s list was the New Waverly area, where transactions increased 43.3% year over year. The community had an average sales price of $479,768, making it about $60,000 more expensive than the Houston average.

    The two other communities on the list with above-average prices were Royden Oaks/Afton Oaks, where sales rose 40% year over year with an average sales price of over $1.6 million, and Rosharon, where sales rose 32.4% with an average sales price of $440,435.

    Several New Waverly Intermediate students taken to hospital after possible ‘stink bomb’ released inside gym class

    NEW WAVERLY, Texas – Several students at New Waverly Intermediate were checked out by EMS and firefighters after they reported feeling sick, according to Waverly Independent School District.

    About 40 students were in first-period gym class when they started to complain of an odor, officials said. The staff also smelled the odor.

    Students described the odor as a “super bad” or “poop” smell and suffered from scratchy throats and nausea.

    Superintendent Darol Hail said less than 10 students were taken by ambulance to local hospitals. He said “a couple” of students were taken to the hospital by their parents.

    Firefighters ran carbon monoxide and gas detector tests. Both came back negative, Hail said.

    Montgomery County officials bought a portable air quality test machine and those results also came back negative.

    An electrician and plumbing company did not find anything as well.

    Hail said there’s no evidence but it is possible a student set off some type of stink bomb as a prank.
