My wife, son & I are going to visit family in Texas in April. My wife's sister has this idea that we should move down to Texas to be close to them. I believe they live in Gilbert, near Ft. Worth/Dallas.
So for the hell of it, I looked up homes in the area. HOLLY CRAP, you can get a lot of house down there. We have a victorian house built in 1920, 2 story, 1500 sf, 3 bedroom 1 & 1/2 bathrooms. We put in new carpet, new kitchen and the bathrooms. We bought this 6 years ago for $126,000, we still of $120,000. Homes similar to ours are selling for 180's-low 200K in downtown Puyallup where we live. Our payments are $930 a month, including tax & insurance.
I work for a landscape company. I do all our estimating for larger commercial installation projects, manage projects and will be a licensed Landscape Architect with the State of Washington in 2 months. My wife works in a bank as a teller/loan officer. My question is, would it be worth it to move down to Texas? What do jobs pay? What is the economy like? Also I was born at Harris Hospital in Ft. Worth, so I won't be a transplant.
I feel like I should interview with some landscape companies when I'm in the area, just to see. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
you must mean Gilmer,TX or Gober,TX,,,i can tell you one thing i live 30 miles south of the DFW area and they are building houses here left and right,,i know of 2 of the many houseing additions that are in the works that total 10,600 homes and more on the way,,im sure you wouldnt have a problem finding a job,,just stay out of Dallas or Ft worth like i said there is no room to grow in the dfw area so look on the outskirts where all the growth is going on.
