Another factor in Texas' favor is home prices, as compared to more expensive metro areas. My 2400SF home has a Zillow in the range of $325K. With a current mortgage payment of less than $1800, we're very happy with our house.

BTW, thanks to recent tornado activity, our property insurance now accounts for 20% of that mortgage payment, and it won't decline anytime soon. We're having to replace our roof after being attacked by baseball size hail last week.

We had to replace a few shingles on the roof of our family ranch house, in Central TX, due to a tornado blowing through.

What part of TX are you in?
