Accoring to Forbes' Mauma Desmond on July 14, 2008:
Houston, we don't have a housing problem. The city's $152,500 median home sale price is up 6.6% from 2005. It boasts a low vacancy rate and an oil-rich economy. Throw in a bubbling entrepreneurial tech scene, and you've got four factors that put Houston on the top of our list of best places to buy a home.
Now more people are in on what we've known all along. Come on down to Houston - it's a great place to live! Not only do we have housing - we have golf courses in Houston, Humble, Conroe, The Woodlands & Katy (just to get you started!) We have lakes - Lake Houston, Lake Conroe & Clear Lake. We have 26 of the companies listed on the 2008 Fortune 500 list headquartered here in Houston.
According to Matt Woolsey at Forbes.com, Houston is one of the Top 5 Best Cities for Young Professionals. On July 7, 2008, he wrote:
Anyone who follows the news knows that materials and energy companies have had a good year, and there's a high concentration of the nation's best geospace engineering firms, oil and gas operations companies, and oceanic exploration companies in Houston.
We enjoy our city. And the housing will amaze you. Visit our website for further information. We are Your Texas Connection and we'd love to put you in a home in Houston!
