TEXAS A&M REAL ESTATE CENTER ~ A RESOURCE FOR AGENTS!  There are many reasons to be proud to be from Texas and one of them is the Texas A&M Real Estate Center.  In 1971 the Governor of Texas established the Texas Real Estate Research Center placing in on the Texas A&M campus.

According to the RECON website:

"The Center is the nation's largest publicly funded organization devoted to real estate research. Most of our $2 million in annual funding comes from real estate license fees paid by more than 140,000 professionals. A nine-member advisory committee appointed by the governor provides research guidance and approves the budget."

Over the years, the research center has churned out data and given the real estate community much needed market information, trends and forecasting.  Each month the real estate statistics are posted in easy to read graphs and charts.  The chart below is typical of what you can find:

 

Along with the data provided, the center is an excellent resource for employment stats, building permits, population and more.  The site has an extensive video library on a variety of topics.  Statewide real estate news reports can be read with ease.

This center is an excellent resource for agents and clients alike.  The data provided can be sent to clients or they may access the site themselves.  If you have a university real estate research center, take the time to visit the site and have the latest and up-to-date real estate data right at your fingertips!

Texas seems to always do it big.  Glad this information is so readily available.  Now, what about more pertinent information, like your test results?  Cherise
