Experts Say Texas Real Estate Looks Good

With affordable housing, a high quality of life and continuous population growth, Texas is an ideal place to get your real estate agent license.

According to Dr. Mark Dotzour, chief economist for the Real Estate Center at Texas A&M, "Texas has the best tax structure for business and will continue to outperform other states in attracting relocating companies and job growth."

With a healthy job economy, Texas' growing population will not only require housing, but assistance from licensed professionals with a Texas real estate license.

"The job markets in Texas are strong," said Lawrence Yun, chief economist for the National Association of Realtors. "They (Texas consumers) are going to go out and buy homes because home prices are affordable."

Texas real estate agents have the opportunity to prosper while helping others realize their dreams of home ownership.

"There are ample opportunities in the current market for buyers who have good jobs and good credit," said Virginia Cook, chief executive officer of Virginia Cook Realtors in Texas. "Conventional loans are available, rates are reasonable and FHA-insured mortgage applications have been rising as low and moderate-income buyers seek alternatives to subprime loans. In the next 15 years, enough people will move to Texas to create a new Dallas, Austin, Houston and San Antonio."

Now is the perfect time to start your real estate course and get your Texas real estate license. Learn more about licensing requirements by visiting The Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) website at www.trec.state.tx.us/.
