Good morning! It's a full week around Houston — the Dash take the pitch at Shell Energy, the circus rolls into NRG, and EaDo gets a new barbecue spot worth the trip.

Buyers kept touring homes at a steady pace last week — showings held basically flat versus last year — but far fewer of those visits turned into signed contracts, with pending sales down 22%. New listings and closings each eased slightly too. In plain terms: there's still plenty to see out there, buyers just have more room to take their time before committing.
