Thanks to @darenkrause over on twitter comes this report from the Housing Predictor that puts Austin number-2 on it’s places to buy list, with Huntsville, AL #1.

The reasons cited for this are a strong local economies(I guess they didn’t check with city hall on tax revenues) and good prospects for job growth; also that we are a college town. Described as a “smaller market” it says we tend to thrive during recessions as more people enroll at universities.
