It might be due to the amount of real estate one gets for the very reasonable prices in Texas. Not sure, but that's a possibility as far as selling one's primary home , buying a retirement dwelling in Texas and having a lot of cash left over.
At our recent barbecue here, everyone was chatting about the beautiful homes in various Texas "burbs" with extremely low prices for the luxury and palatial sizes of these homes (as shown on the Home and Garden Channel or HGTV.) Younger professionals were in "awe" of the newly built homes in Texas, as were their parents age group.
Have never been to Texas.
The realtors bring the prospective buyers to various towns in Texas.
Considering the recent draught, who really knows why Allen Texas is listed.
P.S. HAS ANYONE COMPARED ARIZONA TO THE VILLAGES AND ULTIMATELY DECIDED ON TV.? WHY?
THANK YOU.
