Not as much as it used to be. Home prices have gone up significantly, and when you add property taxes and home insurance, the savings aren\'t what they once were. For many people, the numbers just don\'t make as much sense anymore.
Is moving to Texas still worth it or did prices ruin the whole point
A few people I know moved to Texas because homes were cheaper and there was no state income tax. Now I keep hearing housing insurance and groceries all went up too. Curious what people living there actually think now.
Replies say Texas still offers opportunity but rising costs changed the equation.

Summer electricity bills shocked my cousin there. He said the house looked cheap until the AC started running nonstop.
Everywhere got expensive honestly. I think Texas still makes sense for some people because jobs are growing there. But online people still talk about it like prices are frozen in 2018.
I moved from California three years ago and honestly the biggest surprise was property taxes and insurance. People only talk about no state income tax but forget the other bills. Still got a way bigger house than I could afford before though.
