Just attended the Texas Association of Realtors fall convention.  Learned some interesting new apps for real estate and attended the International Committee's forum.  For the 9th year in a row, Texas has been ranked #1 state for doing business. A rep from the National Association of Realtors delivered a presentation on statistics of WHO is coming to Texas and what their housing needs may be.  The Texas report can be viewed here:  http://www.realtor.org/sites/default/files/reports/2012/international-business-report-texas-2012-09.pdf
