Lots of interesting things happened this week in the world of real estate. Notable stories this week include Houston’s top 100 restaurants being named and the city’s apartment market continuing its downward trend

Catch up on this week’s top news with our real estate news roundup:

Houston’s No. 1 restaurant is… – Houstonia magazine released its list of the city’s top 100 restaurants this week, which any buyer new to Houston will want to know about. At No 1. was 51Fifteen & Cocktails.

Apartment market changing – Houston’s apartment market doesn’t seem to be coming back any time soon, a report from Axiometrics found.

Stephanie McCleskey, vice president of research for Axiometrics said that “the demand for apartments is just not there.”

Houston company doubling headcount – FlightAware is the world’s largest flight tracking data company, it’s headquartered in Houston, and according to the Houston Business Journal, it’s planning to expand its local operations, which will effectively double its headcount.
