We can obtain pricing well under any other state and our housing market as well as business' are booming regardless of the mortgage market, due to incoming investors. For an example we owner finance our homes and can sell them for 80 cents to the dollar and many times lower. How about three duplexs; rent averaging 500 per side and picking up all three for 59,900 each!!!! YES it is true what they say about Texas…..

Governor Schwarzenegger is already looking for his own 7 Billion + bailout to keep the state a float, I don't see Texas in that kind of predicament.

Real Estate is going to get real cheap, but at least Texas will have a shorter distance to fall than Arizona, CA and Florida.

The boom hit in 2004-2006. 2007 was a little shaky, but we're holding steady despite the mortgage downturn. Spring really heated up the Austin market in certain areas.

Thank you! I think all of you had very interesting things to say and I hope we can all make out great if/when Texas booms. One other thing to note about the Austin market... I read last week that Dell Computer will be closing their main plant soon. If I am understanding that correctly, I think that could really hurt Austin's values. -Jim Watkins To all of you who took the time to post a reply and or/nominate this article… Thank you!
