Everyone is Moving to Texas and It’s Not What You Think…
Have lived in New York Chicago Pittsburgh New Orleans just to name a few so made a few Rounds Around the country on top of that I have moved every different way you could have moved actually somebody from Seattle to New Orleans I’ve moved from New Orleans to Chicago I’ve went from Chicago to
Pittsburgh Dallas to New York New York back to Dallas I mean I’ve been pretty much all across the country crisscrossed whenever it comes to moving I’ve done it by plane train automobile you name it I’ve done it almost every way you could imagine but I always came back to Texas
Because it is the greatest state in the U.S and comment below if you agree if you don’t well you’ll have to be nice and also convince me why it’s not the greatest date but we are covering the 10 reasons why people are making the move
Here and why you could be next on the list now let’s just dive into some of the stats and data whenever it comes to housing in Texas so overall the median home price in Texas is 335 900 if you travel down to Austin you’re going to be
Around 458 600 in Dallas Fort Worth around 390 700 in Houston three hundred twenty three thousand one hundred dollars and San Antonio three hundred fourt-shirts/” target=”_blank”>teen thousand four hundred dollars and when you compare that to places like California and New York it is a way cheaper option to live in Texas and
That’s why so many people are moving here from California Illinois New York New Jersey Washington State because of the home values now as with any state housing prices tend to be higher in urban areas and Texas offers a unique Advantage due to its vast size the state
Provides a wide range of housing options that cater to every budget so whether you’re looking for the city or out in the rural areas Texas has it all and if you compare that to the rest of the country the median home price Across the Nation is around 4 408 thousand dollars
So every city in Texas every major city in Texas other than Austin is lower than the national average but when you look at California the median price is around 763 thousand dollars and New York is even higher than that at 789 000 for the median home price in the state so when
People are moving here from out of state this is one of the things that they absolutely love is because they’re able to sell their current home pocket a lot of equity or use that money to put a significant down payment to buy that house down even more but you would not
Believe actually you would believe the stories that we hear every single day of people selling their 750 000 million dollar homes in California or New York and whenever they come to Texas they’re getting homes twice the size twice the square footage sometimes three times the square footage and they’re still even to
Pocket some of the money left over so overall just from a housing standpoint and especially for those of you right now that you feel like you’re being priced out of the market because of continuing price increases and appreciation throughout the nation despite everybody saying the Market’s going to crash well you know the
Alternative is to make a move if you’re a remote worker or work from home this might be the alternative you’re looking for which is to move to one of these Southern States especially in Texas and even if you break it down to rent the average rent in Texas is going to be
Around 1200 which is still pretty affordable compared to most areas especially if you look at New York or downtown Los Angeles you know the rents are bottom out somewhere around three thousand and that is likely you’re going to have something extremely small and probably have to share that with
Somebody else to even afford that all right so number nine is going to be the tax advantages there are several different tax advantages that you can utilize to here in the state of Texas and number one is no state income tax one of the standout advantages of living
In Texas is the absence of state income tax that’s right Texas residents enjoy the benefits of keeping 100 of their hard-earned income unlike many other states Texas has voted against implementing a state income tax allowing individuals and family to retain more of their money and by the way my name is
Levi elastic with the living in Dallas Texas team the number one relocation team here in the Dallas Texas area and if you’re thinking about making that move you know feel free to check the description below you’ll find all of our information there we’re happy to help
You make a smooth move to Dallas and that brings us to no estate tax in addition to the lack of state income tax Texas also does not impose an estate tax this means that your heirs can inherit your estate without facing additional taxes on its value the absence of estate
Tax is a significant Advantage for those planning their financial legacies in Texas and for you business owners out there there’s no corporate income tax Texas also stands out as a business friendly State due to its lack of corporate income tax and this tax advantage has made Texas a hub for
Businesses and entrepreneurs fostering a thriving economy and job opportunities the absence of a corporate income tax creates a favorable environment for both established companies and startups allowing them to reinvest their profits and drive economic growth that means that Texas has an overall tax burden of 8.6 percent and that is significantly
Lower and if you were to compare that against New York there’s a around 15.9 percent all right number eight is going to be the cost of living so Texas boasts a cost of living that is 5.8 percent lower than the national average this means that everyday expenses including housing groceries transportation and
Health Care are more affordable compared to the rest of the country living in Texas allows you to stretch your budget and maintain a comfortable lifestyle that brings us to number seven which is job opportunities now just over the past year Texas has witnessed a staggering
Amount of new jobs in the area up to 600 000 new jobs have been added this influx of employment opportunities is a testament to the state’s thriving economy and the numerous benefits it offers to both businesses and job Seekers and of course that is due to the migration of very large corporations
Making their move here to Texas Texas has become a magnet for large corporations resulting in increased job opportunities many businesses are relocating their headquarters or expanding their operations to the state this migration can be attributed to Texas business friendly policies such as the Texas Enterprise fund and the product development and small business
Incubator fund these initiatives Foster a supportive environment for companies encouraging their growth and expansion in Texas all and that brings us to number six which is the weather now Texas known for its size truly has something for everyone when it comes to weather now whether you prefer a warm
Tropical client or still enjoy snowy days and cold Winters Texas has the perfect region to match your preference all right that warm tropical climb you may be wondering about yes this summer we have seen some record heat multiple days over 100 degrees but I don’t know I could consider that tropical I mean
Growing up here in Texas I’m used to this I like the hot weather and I’m not a fan of the cold now Southern cold is completely different than Northern cold but if we talk about the warm tropical climate right now then you are going to experience that especially throughout
The summer spring and fall are very mild amazing in my opinion they’re my favorite Seasons because the weather is absolutely perfect all the way up through December so even when you get into let’s say fall and the first part of winter through January you can still have temperatures in the 60s and 70s
Which makes it very enjoyable here usually February is the worst month when it comes to cold temperatures drop that’s usually when we have our freezing temperatures or snow but they typically don’t last long if it does snow it won’t be on the ground longer than a day
Typically now but in the past couple of years we’ve had some interesting weather events so that’s made February quite fun but when we get into March and April then things start to warm back up and get really nice again back to 60s and 70s very mild weather all the way up
Through June and if you live in Texas now or lived in Texas before what are your thoughts on the weather I’m sure you have your own opinion right all right that brings us to number five which is going to be family friendly now Texas has emerged as one of the best
States to raise a family mainly because of the size so if you want to venture out you don’t want to be stuck in the city but you still want to be close to the proximity there’s so much growth happening around the major cities in the suburbs in these areas to where you’re
Going to find a lot of families on the outskirts alerts of the major cities on top of that Texas has some of the best public school systems in the entire country and has just been rated the number two state to raise a family in and if you dig a little deeper into the
Education of Texas you will see that there is a lot of highly rated public schools and even according to niche.com two of the top 10 high schools in the United States are in Texas all right number four is going to be traffic that’s right traffic traffic’s terrible
Everywhere right I don’t know I think Dallas is a lot better at least where I’m at in Dallas is a lot but now Austin’s pretty bad Houston’s pretty bad Dallas keeps moving rarely in Dallas will you just be stuck in a standstill you’ll get through everything usually no
More than an hour delay and that’s if you’re making a 30-minute drive so it just depends if you’re going during rush hour you’re always going to face those obstacles of fighting traffic with traffic but most of the time it stays on a steady moving Pace interestingly though Texas has earned its reputation
For the seventh best state to drive in taking two account infrastructure maintenance costs safety and vehicle and maintenance access when it comes to gas prices Texas takes the lead ranking number one in the country for average gas prices this means that drivers in Texas enjoy the advantage of the lower
Fuel cost allowing them to save money on their daily commutes and long distance travels Texas also claims a top spot in terms of the cost of ownership and maintenance of a vehicle with low vehicle ownership costs including registration fees insurance rates and taxes Texans can enjoy the benefits of vehicle ownership without excessive
Financial burdens number three of course is lower crime rate Everyone is always concerned about safety especially the areas they’re thinking about making a move to and especially if they’re coming from safe areas in the state they’re currently in or the city they’re currently in they want to be able to
Have the confidence to know that they are moving to a safe place as well Texas is renowned for its lower crime rate and commitment to providing secure living environments for its residents in fact four of the five safest cities in the entire U.S are located within the state
Of Texas this study was found in Spectrum news and of course places Frisco as the top spot for safety in its second consecutive year taking second place in North Texas was McKinney followed by McAllen and also Plano all right number two reason people are moving to Texas is for the diversity so
Texas has a very diverse population comprising individuals from various cultures and backgrounds in terms of diversity Texas holds an impressive seventh position in the country boasting 67 percent diversity index score according to wisevoter.com Texas can be described as a Melting Pot of culture heavily influenced by Mexico which has
Fostered a vibrant robust Hispanic Community the rich Heritage and traditions brought by Mexican immigrants have significantly contributed to the cultural fabric of the state this influence can be seen in various aspects of the Texan life such as Cuisine music art and festivals for the essence of Mexican culture is celebrated and
Cherished the strong Hispanic community in Texas adds to the tapestry of cultures that coexist within the state creating an environment that Embraces diversity and promotes cross-cultural exchange Texans have the privilege of engaging with people from all walks of life broadening their perspectives and gaining a deeper understanding of different Customs languages and
