You’ve heard it on the news. The R word. The American economy, some say, is in a recession. While that has been debated back and forth, it’s obvious that the financial environment has taken a turn for the worse. But what does that mean? Is the financial situation affecting everyone everywhere equally? Not really. There is some good news, especially here in Texas and in San Antonio.

According to Forbes magazine online, San Antonio is in good shape despite financial troubles around the rest of the country. In identifying America’s “recession-proof” cities, San Antonio appeared number two on the list due to growing industry, favorable employment statistics and affordable home prices.

At the same time, Forbes also identified America’s best value cities, places where you get the most “bang for your buck.” On that list, San Antonio again was prominently listed number two nation-wide. Your dollar goes further in San Antonio, Forbes says, and for the same reasons: affordable housing, expected growth, more jobs and higher income over the next ten years.

So in a struggling economy, if there is a flight to quality, it’s going to Texas, and to San Antonio. It’s a solid, lower-risk investment, and a great place to build your home. This is true whether you are just starting out, or are looking for the place to spend your retirement.
