Not all real estate markets are created equal. Some markets across the country have suffered and struggled to get back to acceptable levels of activity and prices. Some have been decimated by foreclosures.
One market, though, made it through the crisis relatively unscathed and is roaring back. This market is Houston, a market marked by rising prices and decreasing inventory. Like other resurgent markets, Houston real estate was never seriously jeopardized by the housing market crash, which puts it in great position today.
One characteristic of the Houston real estate market is rapidly-rising home prices. In the Houston area, prices for single-family homes have gone up for 34 straight months, which dates back to 2011, when other markets were still in the doldrums.
