TEXAS TO LEAD ECONOMIC RECOVERY
 
          The four major Texas metros will be among the first in the nation to recover from the recession, according to a nationwide forecast by IHS Global Insight.
          San Antonio and Austin will lead the way, bouncing back to their prerecession job levels sometime next year, predicts the Massachusetts–based economic forecasting firm. Houston and DFW are among eight other metropolitan areas predicted to recover by 2011.
 
 
TEXAS HOUSING FORECAST STABLE
 
          Five large Texas cities and ten smaller ones are among the nation's top markets when it comes to expected home price performance, according to Local Market Monitor’s latest Home Price Forecast.
          Among the largest markets, with populations of 600,000+, Dallas-Plano-Irving, Fort Worth–Arlington, Houston–Sugar Land–Baytown, San Antonio and Wichita Falls filled five spaces on the ten-slot list of cities with the best expected performance in home price over the next year.
          The same survey of the smallest U.S. markets revealed ten Texas cities were tops, tied with other cities across the country. These were Abilene, Amarillo, Brownsville-Harlingen, College Station–Bryan, Corpus Christi, Killeen–Temple–Fort Hood, Laredo, Lubbock, Texarkana and Waco.
          The study predicts local market behavior over the upcoming 12 months in over 300 markets, identifying those that are stable and have opportunity for growth.
