Big D is ranked just behind a suburb of Phoenix  and Los Angeles as markets with a combination of strong economic growth & building are contributing to the home sector.  Each market on the list has job & household growth & surging home starts.  Growth in central Dallas put the city near the top place nationally for growth according to Realtor.com.  North Texas created almost 117,000 jobs in the last year & area home sales were up 16% in the 1st quarter + home starts rose 22%.  SIMILAR IS HAPPENING IN TYLER & EAST TEXAS.
