Tana Fedric reports that Wise County and the rest of North Texas are growing nicely, with plenty of new home construction and subdivisions being developed.

She says this area still has reasonably priced homes for all budgets. And for those looking to build, there is still plenty of land available for developing, industry and recreation.

And what about those home prices? Fedric has seen prices leveling off with just a slight decline on average.

She says Texas' strict regulations regarding home equity loans and home mortgages have helped keep the local market strong and protect North Texans from the national fallout.

Fedric feels this area is perfect for those looking to relocate or buy a home, as lots of major corporations, including over 20 Fortune 500 companies, are located in North Texas.

Fedric sees this wealth of business providing jobs for North Texans for years to come.
