While we continuously hear the moaning and groaning of down turns in the housing and economic predictors from sources on a national level, I find it incredible that we hear so little from our state or local media about the real facts. However, in the October issue of Tierra Grande, Journal of the Real Estate Center at Texas A&M University, Steve H. Murdock, a research fellow with the Real Estate Center, proves my perspective and opinion on concentrating on the facts.
Mr. Murdock’s Demography article, Here We GROW Again, clearly shows that …”Texas’ population had a larger numerical increase from 2000 to 2006 than any other state and a growth rate (12.7) twice that of the nation.” Additionally, San Antonio is among three cities in Texas with the largest increases, at 33,000 new neighbors.
I won’t deny the tight squeeze being felt by our East and West coast populations, but here in Texas, and particularly in the Hill Country, we’ve still got plenty of room to grow, so Come On Down. We’ve got lots of room for new neighbors and this means plenty of opportunities for existing friends to sell, move up, and move around!
