Here’s What it Would Take to Live in Seven Tyler, Texas Neighborhoods

Just like across the country, East Texas has seen a big jump in home prices. Some have jumped so high that many who would not be in the market to sell are selling. Some have found it too high and don't want to buy. Its been a tough market to gauge lately. A national publication just released a listing of the average cost of seven neighborhoods in Tyler to give us a better idea of approximately how much it would cost to get into those neighborhoods.

Next to gas prices, home prices has been THE hot topic for those in Texas. Mainly because folks leaving highly taxed and over regulated states to come to our more free enterprise state have the money to throw in an extra $100,000 over the asking price of a home because they can't believe its that cheap.

This is at least the rumored reason we've seen such a jump in home prices here.

I HAVE NO PROOF OF THE ABOVE STATEMENT, ITS JUST WHAT I HAVE HEARD
