The big idea as I see it is that real estate is in the tank nationwide, but certain beach projects for higher end clientele on the Texas Gulf Coast are booming. |

“The world has discovered the Gulf Coast,” said James Gaines, research economist at the Real Estate Center at Texas A&M University.
“You want a second home on the East Coast at an affordable price, and you’re not going to find anything. Here, it’s still available and affordable.”
The Falcon Group, a commercial and residential developer in Houston, is building Palisade Palms, two 27-story condominium towers. They will be the tallest buildings on Galveston Island |

Texas – the new hot spot for retirement and vacation homes. See them at the Second-Home Expo this April 19-20th.
Dr. James Gaines, research economist at Texas A&M University’s Real Estate Center, said that a boom is coming that “will be sparked with the retiring baby boomers who have the finances, ability and desire to purchase second homes.”
And it appears that all the talk about the nation’s unstable housing market does not apply as heavily to Texas or to those looking for a retirement or vacation home. According to Gaines, these buyers are normally in a different financial situation and have different needs when it comes to home buying.
“The market for second homes is good in Texas and interest rates are still low,” Gaines said. Texas has much of what people want — “water, good weather and views. Those are the elements that attract people to second-home locations.”
The Lone Star State is thriving economically. It is the new hot spot for retirement, according to a recent study using U.S. Census data. Texas, formerly the No. 4 retirement destination in the U.S., has now leapt past Arizona and California to the No. 2 spot. Florida is still No. 1, but Texas is gaining.
The Escapes Second-Home Expo features a dynamic lineup of speakers, including Gaines, and exhibitors representing the hottest second-home properties in Texas. This includes those in the Texas Hill Country and all along the booming Texas Gulf Coast.
South Padre Island has the finest beaches in Texas, The water is clear and the climate is mild. Here, you definitely know you are on an island. We have an impressive skyline and a nice, relaxing feel.
Moving north along the Texas Gulf Coast, other hot spots, each with its unique beauty, are the Port Aransas/Mustang Island area, the arts-oriented community of Rockport, the Port O’Connor Intracoastal Waterway and the historic community of Galveston.
