Texas is the 2nd most populated state in the U.S. in part because our strong job market attracts many new residents seeking sunny days and a mix of cosmopolitan and western lifestyle.
Dallas continues to attract employers and new residents are moving here to participate in our diverse economy and cosmopolitan lifestyle. Some of the employers moving to Dallas or expanding existing operations include: Toyota, Toyota, FedEx, Liberty Mutual, McKesson , Fidelity, State Farm, Schwab Texas, Capital One, Bank of America. A few more Fortune 500 companies are relocating to Dallas including Gartner, Cognizant Technology Solutions & Pei Wei.
Texas property taxes are low, cost of living is low and home prices remain affordable.
Dallas Texas housing remains a bargain. But prices continue to rise at a rate of 5-7% per year. Don't wait expecting prices will stay the same or go down from where they are now. That is lots of demand from homebuyers with multiple offers received for the most desirable homes.
Texas has 4 of the country's 12 most-populated cities: Houston, San Antonio, Dallas, and Austin. This concentration of population has helped draw a total of 54 Fortune 500 companies to the state, as well as some of the country's most popular sports teams, including the San Antonio Spurs, Dallas Mavericks, Dallas Cowboys, Houston Texans, Texas Rangers, and the University of Texas Longhorns.
Texas's cities recognized by Law Street Media as being in the Top 50 SAFEST U.S. cities over 200,000 population for 2017 are:
Congratulations to the citizens and police forces of these great cities!

Buyer interest for new homes in Dallas remains strong and builders are buying land to build new homes. You can expect new home prices to steadily increase in Denton County, expansion in Collin County and more growth in Dallas County.
New home Dallas prices are higher than resale homes because: 1.) Land costs were higher, 2.) Building material costs are rising due to inflation, 3.) Labor costs due to a shortage of skilled workers are always increasing and 4.) Increased city impact fees charged developers to cover the cost of expanding infrastructure to provide vital services to new subdivisions such as: water, sewer, roads, electricity, gas, schools, parks, fire and police coverage, libraries and and other services to meet the needs of all of residents in new communities.
