Note this point at the end:

"One caveat in the economist's upbeat forecast for the state could come in the residential foreclosure arena, particularly among houses priced under $200,000. "

This was being discussed on another thread.


Also:
"The latest figures show Texas is increasing its population by about 400,000 people annually, Dotzour said."

400,000 people. Wow.

My husband looked at a house in the Park Cities last week. The owners have a son that's graduating this year and then a much younger, elementary aged student. They are moving out to the country and when it's time for the younger child to go to high school, they are moving back to the Park Cities.

I actually like progressive thinking city people, but prefer semi-country living.

It's hard to find both.

And most of those 400,000 are moving to Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, Austin, then San Antonio.

When Halliburton leaves Houston and heads to Dubai as proposed, I'm not sure it will be on the list much longer. That will be a big hit to Houston employment. Not just Halliburton leaving, but all the related support infrastructure/vertical industry that supports Halliburton.

Good news, 50% of their revenue is in North America, so there will still be a prescience in Houston.

Does that mean Cheney will be moving to Dubai?

Could we be so lucky.



About those 400,000 people coming to Texas. The REALLY sad thing is a lot of them are moving to areas that were once beautiful countryside and putting in large developments and destroying the once peaceful area. Even the homes built on acreage are a threat to the environment when the people living on them want rid of all natural creatures that habitat that area.

We need to move you to Northern Cal don't we :-)

I do agree that with 400k people moving here a year, we really need to look at both the environmental effect and natural resources. For instance, where will the water for these people come from ?

Pretty much all of their employees are staying in Houston. I have said this a million times, they are opening up a headquarter in Dubai. The CEO is moving there, too.

A lot different from when they moved from Dallas to Houston.

I also wish people would stop moving here. They are messing up everything.. more people = more crime, more traffic, dirtier air, strain on our pulic resources, etc. Our Texas charm is also being lost and people are becoming aggresive and rude. Well growth if fine but it's happening too quickly!
