Home values in Texas have not depreciated as radically as other states like California, Michigan and Arizona, Florida, Nevada etc. In fact in the Dallas Metroplex there are many cities where home values are climbing as well as sales. Interest rates on 15 year fixed loans can be found on line as low as 3.1 percent and 30 year notes are typically ranging from 4 to 5 percent APR. We remember the days of double digit interest rates!!
