Introduction

April sales in Tarrant County continued to drop last month while the average selling price rose slightly. Texas has continued to buck the national averages by showing a steady increase in prices statewide. Dr. James Gaines, a research economist with the Real Estate Center at Texas A&M University, predicts Texas will emerge as one of the brightest stars in the housing market. "Our population is growing by leaps and bounds and we're continuing to create jobs," he said. "More importantly, relative to many major market areas, we still have reasonably priced, affordable housing." Our low tax structure and pro business climate are attracting more people to Texas and this can only help the real estate market over the long term. People who are willing to invest in this market during this time will see a good return over the longer period. And, if you would like to investigate this further, I can show you how investing can work for you - just give me a call.
