The Top Places to Buy

 

Whether you're an investor like me or you're looking to purchase that next move up, here are my picks for the best areas to buy a home:

 

Killeen, Round Rock, Austin, Texas: Killeen has the lowest average home price in any market in the nation while still maintaining quality. Round Rock and Austin have seen incredible job growth and very stable home prices despite the downturn nationwide. Jobs continue to grow here -- a factor for keeping inventory low and prices stable.

 

Mission Viejo, California: Mission Viejo has the lowest crime statistics in the nation. With no murders in 2007 and a low rate of violent crime, this is a good place to raise a family. Prices are relatively stable, and the job market in the nearby cities of Irvine and San Diego means there is consistent demand from job seekers.

 

Palm Beach, Florida: I'm taking a risk here because this area has been pummeled by foreclosures in 2007. But there are also a lot of boomers retiring, and Palm Beach is looking mighty attractive. If you don't like this high of a risk (which translates to great prices), check out Tampa or Clearwater in the same state.

 

Las Vegas, Nevada: Yes, Las Vegas has been hit hard by incoming investors, who watched their home values disappear and then left those homes empty. Las Vegas comes in quite high on the national foreclosure list, almost always within the top three metro areas. But there's an upside -- a very strong job market. In 2007, Las Vegas experienced a 12 percent increase in population, partly driven by retirees looking for Sunbelt states to move to. Coupled with low prices, we could see inventories reduced here, which would also stabilize prices. Be careful what you buy, but I like it.

Are you a Texas Veteran? Would you like to reduce that interest rate on the home you're buying?  How about low-interest land loans for 5% down for that retirement property?

 

If you listed Texas as the home of record at the time of entry into the military OR if you have been a legal resident of Texas for the past 12 consecutive months OR you have changed your state of legal residence to Texas and you're currently a Texas resident, you may be eligible for special benefits only afforded to Texas Veterans through the Texas Veteran's Land Board.
Interested in low-interest land loans with 5% down?  How about a $25,000 home improvement loan?

“We have nothing but praise for Trey and his attentiveness to us during our home purchase process.  We recommend him highly and would be delighted to work with him again in the future.  My daughter initiated the contact with Trey and because of his responsiveness, even though she was deployed at the time, said in an email, “Okay, I’m holding on to this guy.”  Frankly, I think that says it all.”

"Trey, we truly appreciate ALL your hard work, and your caring work ethic.  I would recommend using your company to anyone, even family.  Thank you for helping us find a home for our growing family.  You're great at your job, sir!!!!
