Good news for Texas home owners!

Are you looking at remodeling your home but unsure whether it is a wise decision with recent changes in the housing market? Well if you live in Texas, odds are your housing market is pretty solid and you can justify making those remodeling plans.

The recent Builder Magazine published a study of the most 20 healthiest housing markets in the U.S.
Here is what they wrote:

Boyce Thompson’s article in Builder Magazine listed the 20 healthiest housing markets for 2010 that are poised to recover more quickly than other markets in the US. His premise is: “Housing economists have long held that the housing rebound, when it comes, will be uneven. The markets that benefit first will be the ones with the strongest core dynamics; places where house prices never got out of hand, cities where a diverse and progressive employment base drives job creation, towns that continue to draw population despite the economic recession.”

It is of very little surprise to me that the Austin MSA is number one on this list. The other top markets (including the surrounding municipalities are:
20 – Des Moines, Iowa
19 – Greenville, SC
18 – Houston, TX
17 – Wilmington, NC
16 – Portland, OR
15 – Myrtle Beach, SC
14 – Colorado Springs, CO
13 – Minneapolis, MN
12 – Richmond, VA
11 – Dallas – Fort Worth, TX
10 – Eugene, OR
9 – Durham, NC
8 – Washinton DC – I guess all the hot air in DC is blowing that market up
7 – Huntsville, AL
6 – Denver, CO
5 – Charleston, NC
4 – San Antonio, TX
3 – Charlotte, SC
2 – Raleigh, NC
#1 – AUSTIN, TEXAS!
