I noticed they do have a lot of backyard wine cellars in OK.

Tornado shelters?

If I was stuck in OK I'd drink a lot more too.

Yeah, tornadoes. I grew up in Dallas. I figured the weather here just 50-60 miles north of there would be the same. The weather here is noticeably more violent here than I remember there. I think we had more thunderstorms the first summer we were back in Texas than we had 16 years in Idaho.

I've been studying real estate in the DFW area for 3 years now. Expecting one daughter in Idaho to move here eventually. The best home values I see consistently are in Forney. She moves there we will too.

Really?  That's not what the data shows.   

Keep in mind that this article was written before comrade Mamdani was elected городской голова of NYC.

Raising interest rates will slow new home development and keep people from selling if they have to buy and acquire a new mortgage. Scarcity of available homes drives up prices. Why do you think it will be otherwise Eagler?

It's all about the monthly...higher rates forces prices lower costs..well it used to..

And the value of the dollar...there's a reason everything cost so much more...the $$$ is worth-less...and less each year...

No one will buy our ever growing debt $$$ if it's not worth it to them..

Everyone needs a place to sleep. Freeloaders drive up the price of everything.

DFW wasn't as distorted as say Austin.

I remember being shocked at how expensive houses were in the DFW area compared to Houston where I grew up.  Housing is pretty cheap in Houston.

Because who the heck would want to live in that hurricane plagued malarial swamp.

Left Dallas for a couple of years in the mid 60's for Pasadena Tx. Was a nice community. Storm drainage was non existent. Hard rain we could almost swim in the street in front of our house. We tried for sure.

Left Cali 4 years ago. Requement was low humidity, no flooding,  no tornados, no snow. Gets a little warm tho...
