Texas Property Insider- Austin Real Estate and Texas Coastal Real Estate Blog

Welcome to Texas Property Insider. The purpose of this blog is to provide accurate and helpful information about market trends and issues important to property owners in Central Texas and on the Texas Coast. You hear a lot of talk out there. You see the statistics, read the stories in the newspaper and you see practitioners regurgitate those same stories and statistics. There is more information available then ever before. But why is it, even after all of the stories and pundits have had their say, you still feel you can’t grasp what’s really happening in the real estate market?


There is a lot more to it than simple statistics and market info. These numbers are helpful and vitally important, but if taken at face value they can be misleading, even deceiving. As Mark Twain once said, “There are lies, damned lies and then there are statistics.” I created this blog to pull back the curtain on Texas real estate, interpret the market information and present it to you in a format that is both pithy and easy to digest.

Texas Cities Dominate Forbes’ List of Best Places for Jobs



Texas cities dominate Forbes list of best places for jobs...


The top five large metropolitan areas for job growth are all located in Texas according to Forbes magazine. Nine of the top 20 cities are located in Texas with Odessa ranked #1. The study is based on job growth in 333 regions in the USA. The study looked at job growth and the change in employment figures since 1996. Forbes attributes the state's success to "A healthy energy industry is certainly one cause. Many Texas highfliers, including Odessa, Longview, Dallas and Houston, are home to energy companies that employ hordes of people - and usually at fairly high salaries."
