While the area is experiencing it's share of foreclosures and pockets of home value decline, overall Houston is a strong market. Due in fact to Houston being ranked #1 for most affordable housing among the top 25. The U.S. Census Bureau ranks Houston as the top housing market in comparison to other cities nationwide. #1 in job growth Houston is experiencing a strong Commercial market as well. Consider the facts: prices are competitive, interest rates are very affordable, there are plenty of homes, buildings and land in all price ranges to choose from and sellers/home builders are ready to bargain.
