I was browsing through market updates at the Texas A&M Real Estate Research Center and saw their links to news from the Texas Real Estate Business. The magazine requires registration to view articles, but those of you interested in residential or commercial real estate can access market updates for FREE.
Texas is expected to continue growing at a feverish pace during next few decades, especially along the Dallas to San Antonio corridor on Interstate Highway 35. This corridor is the main transportation artery in our state for Texas' largest cities including Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, Austin and San Antonio.
Large commercial developers and investors, including foreign investors, have continued to purchase huge tracts of land along the corridor and in these cities to provide housing and jobs for the population boom.
Buyers, sellers and investors should be aware of factors that influence the housing market, such as where jobs are leaving or going, environmental issues, transportation, development on the horizon, etc.
Here are some top FREE resources for Texas real estate market updates that can keep you ahead of a housing boom OR bust:
- Read the Texas Realty Blog, of course! We track the latest news, developments and market updates to comment on how they affect surrounding markets.
- Texas A&M Real Estate Research Center. Provides census data, stats and metro-area overviews.
- Texas Real Estate Business Magazine. Another source for market commentary.
- Planetizen-TX. Good resource for infrastructure news and how it affects each city.
In case you missed it, read more about the 4000 mile, $180 Billion Trans-Texas Corridor. There's an opposition site at Texas Toll Party's website or at the TransTexas Blog.
