The chief economist at national real estate search firm Trulia made five predictions for housing in 2012 and Houston, Tx was mentioned in one about the top five cities to watch.
“The bloom’s not off the yellow rose of Texas,” Jed Kolko, stated, noting what he thinks is unique about Houston.
Kolko stated in the article, "A construction revival and steady job growth make Austin and Houston two of my five cities to watch. Texas isn’t hung over from the housing boom like the other big states of the South and West, so there’s little to hold back growth. Honorable mention to Fort Worth and San Antonio."
