Have you noticed new faces around? Well if you have it's because more people are moving to Texas than any other state.
One reason for this according to CNNMoney.Com is "Texas, for example, never went through the boom-and-bust housing cycle that devastated the Sand States [California, Arizona, Nevada, Florida]. Home prices remained affordable, and the state's unemployment rate was 8% in October, a full two percentage points below the national average."
Just another reason to appreciate ringing in the New Year in Texas; if you know someone who is moving here from out-of-state, give me a call! I would love to show them around Houston and show them why many have chosen to move here!
