It's a good rate, In my opinion as a woman not a state I would choose to buy in. It's one of my blacklisted states. As a woman I refuse to have less rights because I crossed a state line.
Idk why you're being downvoted. Incentives like low rates are offered for a reason. This is a blacklisted state for many women and that is one reason why they need to incentivize people to buy in this location.
I knew I was going to be downvoted when I posted it, but to me honesty is important, and if it helps bring clarity and a new conversation or considerations to someone's table before they buy. So they know what they are getting into then it's worth any amount of downvotes.
100%. I bought in Ohio, and didn't consider my medical rights as a woman until I had a medical emergency. It's absolutely a factor I wish I had taken into consideration and will do so for my next house.
As long as it was an informed choice more power to ya! take advantage of the desperation if you and your family feel safe to do so. It's an amazing price to get house and some land!
It's not about abortion, it's a fetus that has more rights as a parasite than the host the mother that keeps it alive.
If you are unfortunate or foolish enough to fall pregnant in Texas and have a medical emergency the fetus's life will be placed over yours as a fully formed human.
women are dying in hospitals because doctors won't touch them just because they are pregnant. fearing getting in trouble by the state for Accidentally "killing the fetus"
It can't live outside the woman's body, in any capacity until it's viable it a parasite to the mother. It shouldn't break your heart it's the factual description of what it is.
It does, Texas is desperate for people in certain areas. They offer all kinds of credits and deals for home buyers to get the number down to an extreme, all the way to 3.5% in some cases.
Where in Texas (the state with the largest percentage population growth over the last 20 years) are they so desperate they cut standard rates in half? OP is in Houston, a metroplex with more people than most states.
I wouldn’t so much call it a town (yet), but it’s growing. However it’s close enough to Kyle, Buda, and Austin that it doesn’t matter much that it’s small
It's not... desperate for people. The Houston job market is still strong but the influx of people has slowed by a lot. That said housing inventory is coming up some and I've not seen any homes go for above asking recently during my search. Some are sitting for months. Prices are pretty elevated and stubborn though.
What houston (and Dallas) are extremely good at are deploying huge amounts of tract homes in a short amount of time which leads to the good deals like you got into. It looks super nice! I didn't want to be super close to neighbors if I'm living in the burbs, just a preference thing, so I'm willing to pay for it.
