Housing Forecast in San Antonio

Cities Where Your Dollar Goes Furthest
Money goes further some places in the United States than it does in others.
Housing, in particular, has remained most affordable in the South and the Midwest. That’s because of less stringent building, an abundance of land and growing populations in the South, says Daniel McCue, a research analyst at Harvard’s Joint Center for Housing Studies.
To determine the cities that offer the best quality of life for the least amount of money, Forbes magazine calculated the ratios between a city’s median home price and its median household income. It also factored in projected job growth. And it compared median income to Moody’s Economy.com’s cost of living index.
Here are the 10 cities that it found to offer the best value, and the cities that it believes offers the worst value.
Cities Where Residents Get the Most for Their Money

Cities Where Residents Get the Least for Their Money
The Mortgage Bankers Association proclaimed San Antonio one of the top markets in the U.S. for homebuyers, citing its high employment rate, population growth and better-than-average price appreciation as key factors. San Antonio's median home prices continued to perform better than all U.S. regions, dipping 1 percent in October from October last year, versus an 11.3 percent drop nationwide, according to the National Association of Realtors. San Antonio is in the Southern region, which showed a 5.8 percent decline in median prices during the same period - the best regional performance in the nation. Bexar County's low tax rate continues to attract businesses that hire new employees who are looking for homes. Population growth in Texas is expected to remain above 2 percent next year compared with a negative projected growth rate for the U.S. A large chunk of the projected Texas population growth will be in the Denton-San Antonio-Houston triangle, according to the Real Estate Center at Texas A&M University. The San Antonio housing market also has benefited from historically stable growth that avoided the large run-up in prices in 2005 and 2006, and the subsequent steep price declines some areas in the U.S. are experiencing now. As a result, increases in Bexar County foreclosure listings are substantially lower than the growth in foreclosures nationwide. Foreclosure auction postings in the county are up 22.7 percent for the year, according to data provided by RexReport.com. Nationwide, foreclosure activity is up 45 percent, according to RealtyTrac.
