Yesterday, an AP Poll released some new statistics on how U.S. homeowners are feeling about the current state of the National housing market.
- 59% think now is a good time to buy.
- 66% think its harder for a first-time homebuyer to buy today than it was five years ago.
- 43% worry their home's value will drop in the next two years.
- 14% worry they may soon fail to make their monthly payments.
How are you feeling about Southeast Texas' housing market?
Texas has faired better than most of the country in terms of the current housing situation. Our state continues to have one of the highest percentages of population growth. A growing population helps keep the inventory of homes for sale at healthy levels. Forbes.com recently ranked Austin and San Antonio as two of the top ten markets in the country. If Beaumont was a larger market we could have made the list in my opinion.
Southeast Texas has a healthy housing market, but many people hear and listen to the National press. Do you agree with the AP Poll? Are you worried about the housing market? Share your thoughts...
