Press Release Summary: Texas is the one exception in the Real Estate slump. The Lone Star State is outperforming expectations with house prices and sales performing much better than in any other part of the country.
Press Release Body: While the rest of the US property market is languishing in the doldrums and foreclosures are becoming a hot news topic for the media the Lone Star State is seeing a steady growth in interest for Texas property.
Texas Real Estate Magazine (www.texasrealestatemagazine.com) established its dominance in the market through solid marketing skills, traditional print routes and the kind of business know-how that comes only from hard work, careful thought and tenacity. It now has taken the next step in its evolution on the web.
The Texas Real Estate Magazine website is more than just a digital version of its paper form. Fully searchable with the kind of interactivity you expect from a Web 2.0 era site this is the first phase in what company president and founder, Steve Haines, calls the digital transition of the Texas Property business.
"The web is constantly opening up opportunities and at Texas Real Estate magazine we feel the time has come to focus our mind on the opportunities afforded online for the benefit of our many customers."
Texas property has recently become the focus of many an online development drive with realtors and real estate agencies opening up shops and starting websites just to take advantage of the Texas property boom.
According to recent figures from the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight, home prices in Texas increased 6.9% during first quarter 2007, well above the 4.3% national average.
"Despite the national slowdown, Texas is still strong," says James Gaines, Ph.D., research economist with the Real Estate Center at Texas A&M University. "There's no reason prices shouldn\'t continue to rise despite the increase in foreclosures and the slowdown in transactions, construction, and new-home starts."
The buyer confidence in Texas property looks set to continue for some time and Texas Real Estate magazine is perfectly positioned to capitalize on the growing trend with a constantly developing online presence and a highly targeted approach to offline marketing. "We are the market leaders in offline advertising and lead generation for realtors," explains Steve, "we are dedicated, focused and know both where we need to be and what we need to do to get there. There is going to be ongoing development of our website with a view to creating the best possible online experience for all our website visitors.
"For us the new Texas Real Estate magazine website is just the beginning."
