Texas is no stranger to gold rushes. The Lone Star State has seen more than its fair share of prospecting whether it be for gold nuggets, oil or grazing land. But while all this harks back to centuries past Texas features brightly in the speculative horizons of the 21st Century.
The focus this time is on Texas land itself. The great American Dream of owning some prime Texas land with hunting or fishing rights and spending time in the open plains feeling closer to nature appears undiminished and if anything seems to be attracting buyers from all over the world if interest by UK and Japanese real estate investors is anything to go by.
Whether it is rural recreational properties, ranches, lake properties or farmland buyers are looking to buy Texas seems to provide it all. With demand driving supply properties coming into the market are often snapped up within just a few weeks of being listed.
Texas, of course, like the rest of the continental United States and indeed, the rest of the global real estate market, has been benefiting from a boom in commercial and urban real estate prices which have led to a surge in demand, the inevitable hike in real estate prices and an also inevitable dip as overstretched investors, particularly in the much publicised sub-prime lending market, default on payments and give rise to foreclosures.
But while commercial and urban real estate in Texas has been mirroring what is happening both nationally and globally the rural recreational properties, ranches, lake properties and farmland market has been going from strength to strength with no signs of a slowdown in supply and demand.
This has placed Texas in the middle of intense media focus and real estate investor attention as the smart money goes after choice Texas hunting land and recreational land with the ability to later extend the property on it.
Rural recreational properties are attracting attention from individual investors looking to escape the hectic city life and, at the same time, create an investment they can take advantage of for the future. The idyllic image of the Texas lifestyle would not be complete without a focus on ranches and ranch-style properties.
Texas Real Estate magazine has been at the forefront of all these trends since its inception leading the way in attracting buyers? attention through its twin paper editions selling the very best of Texas land and, now, through its enhanced web presence.
On-site searches for recreational property in Texas, for example,?delivers no fewer than 19 Texas Realtors who specialise in rural recreational properties in Texas.
Similarly a search for ?Lake Property??returns 43 Texas Realtors with over 100 choice Texas lake properties to choose from and ?Farmland?? delivers results that list over 60 Texas farmland properties suitable for a range of budgets and needs.
With over 60,000 pages served each month the Texas Real Estate magazine website attracts attention from as far afield as the UK across the Atlantic and Australia across the Pacific where savvy investors realise the value in owning a Texas property.
For Texas the international hunger for its land, as well as the interest it enjoys from closer to home has led to a fresh Texas Land Rush, its very soil now being the new century?s gold.
