         Texas remains one of the most affordable housing markets in 
    the country. Dallas and Houston have each attracted half a million
    new residents since the beginning of this decade.

         New housing supply remains plentiful in the Lone Star State. 
    With all the four  major cities building homes to keep up with the
    demand, and flooding the market.

         In 2005, Florida built 247K new homes and was on the top of the
    list, and Texas was third with 179K homes. But with so many new homes 
    under construction, Texas could be on the top in 2006 and 2007.
