Is now a good time to buy a house in Texas?

As a Texas REALTOR®, I can assist you with this important decision.

Buying a house is a big step. The right time to take this leap
depends on your financial and personal situation as well as
your goals. If you are considering buying a house now, here are
some strong reasons why the timing could be right:
Housing prices in Texas have been steadily rising at a moderate
pace for many years, even while other states have experienced wild price
fluctuations.
  

There are Texas-specific programs that can lower your interest rate or
provide additional tax-credit incentives.
Interest rates are at or near record lows. Even small reductions in the
interest rate can significantly boost the purchase price you can afford
when buying a home.

Texas has one of the most affordable housing markets compared to
household income, according to the Real Estate Center at Texas A&M
University.
Our state’s economy is strong and diverse, and the population is expected
to continue growing steadily. These factors all point to continued health
in the housing market.

As a Texas REALTOR®, I can show you how our current housing market
conditions factor in to your goal of buying a home. You
can count on me to put your interests first while I assist you
during this exciting process.
