Texas real estate websites are able to capitalize on that since approximately a thousand people a day are heading to Texas to find jobs with the energy industry faring better than other economic sectors, Texas towns are nine of the top 16 target cities in the recent Milken Institute/Greenstreet Real Estate Partners Best-Performing Cities Index.

Austin moved from its 2008 fourth position place to capture the top spot. Sales of MLS properties have enjoyed four straight months of sales figures higher than the 2008 sales with better sales prices also. It looks as if the Austin real estate market turned the corner in the spring of 2009. Real estate websites targeting the downtown resale market are poised to take advantage of Austin’s most active real estate area. In 2008, Austin made homes for 60,000 new residents – creating a better economy than towns in states that are suffering a population exodus.

Houston, always an oil industry center and international port, made a big jump from its 2008 16th place position to 5th place. Internet Marketing Consultants’ (IMC) has designed Houston real estate websites for agents who are successfully selling to incoming jobseekers, first-time homebuyers as well as the second home and lake-front home markets. Housing prices are holding steady overall and starting to move up in the more sought-after Houston neighborhoods.

As for “creating and sustaining jobs and economic growth”, the Milken Institute 2009 Best Performing Cities Report ranked it #11, up four places from 2008.
