If you run the numbers on property taxes and heating and cooling and insurance for major weather issues, the COL in Texas isn't much lower than Cali. You can get more house for less initially but you are in Texas, not California
That's the conversation my uncle and I have had. He's always trying to talk me into coming down there with promises of $300,000 mcmansions and pools and shit. But the property taxes are truly ridiculous.
Please tell all your friends
My home value, on paper/comps, has gone up 87% since I bought in 2014. Supposedly mid 500s.
Texas ain’t cheap anymore, at least desirable metro areas aren’t.
I'm sure. But it's all relative. Do we want to do a relative home price comparison between greater Seattle and greater Dallas/FW? Tell me who wins/loses in that one and I'll just believe you because I honestly don't actually know anything about Texas home prices other than what a few people tell me. Never had occassion to look into it as I would if I were actually considering moving there.
