Fort Worth Texas - the #4 Best Cities to Move to in America!

Yesterday I wrote a blog about Texas being in the top 10 places to live. The reports keep on coming....Fort Worth is ranked as #4 best city to live in America by BestPlaces.net, a website that helps people find the best places to live, work or retire. BestPlaces.net considered crime rates, number of colleges, access to activities, the health of the population, and stability to determine the best cities to move to in America.

We're excited that Texas and Fort Worth continue to get ranked in the top 10 places to live, but we're not surprised, especially when it comes to our great city of Fort Worth, Texas. Fort Worth has so much to offer to its citizens, and it continues to grow while still maintaining that down-home style of living. Looking for the big city life? Fort Worth is only 30 minutes from Dallas, so we feel like we have it all living here in Fort Worth.

Thinking about relocating to Fort Worth or one of its surrounding areas? Contact Alexander Chandler Realty at 817-806-4100 for more information about the city and homes it has to offer. One of our agents would be happy to give you a tour of Fort Worth so you can get a "flavor" of the city. You can also visit our website for quick access for homes for sale in Fort Worth, TX at www.AlexanderChandler.com. We look forward to hearing from y'all!

Texas - The #1 Choice to Live

The buzz is out there. Texas, for six years in a row, has surpassed every state and is the #1 relocation destination, according to Allied Van Lines 43rd Annual Magnet States Report. This report computes inbound moves minus the outbound moves in each state. Texas had the highest net relocation gain of all the states. Following Texas was Colorado (2nd), then Florida (3rd) and South Carolina (4th). Michigan had the largest outbound moves.

This report exemplifies the strong desire of people wanting to make Texas their place to call home. Texas not only has the great warm weather that many desire, but many of the larger cities have plenty of activities and culture to draw people to the area.

Purchasing a Fort Worth Home

In Texas, the market has not suffered like many other areas throughout the United States. Fort Worth has "held its own" and is continuing to grow in population. The year 2010 has brought economic challenges for many; however, the low mortgage interest rates and stablilization of sales and prices have allowed many people to purchase a home. Not only have the interest rates remained low, the government enacted home buyer tax credits that could be used in the first half of 2010, which led to more buyers in the market. Buyers also have the Mortgage Interest Deduction (MID) that creates a significant tax savings for many and enables consumers to save more toward their future.

2011 is fast approaching and most people still strive to own their dream home. The Fort Worth home market and it's stabilization allows consumers to reach their dream. Now is the time to work towards that 2011 goal of home ownership. To find out more about the Fort Worth home market, go to www.AlexanderChandler.com or call us at 817-806-4100.
