So sad and to think our housing market was booming because of all the new oil and gas jobs. Now we will be watching foreclosure collapse of the housing
 
Hope all these workers and families find work 4951

So sad.  The Houston Chronicle said today that it would not affect the housing market.  The person who stated that was not here during the 80's bust. Emoticon 4951

Well FMC is building a massive complex in Generation Park (WLHP @ BW8) and Exxon is doing the same off of 59.  Both of those are causing nearby homes to skyrocket in value.  Hopefully, that will offset the issue. 4951

Yeah, I wouldn't get too concerned yet.  If this goes on a year, maybe.  this area didn't get the hyper inflation that housing did in the Woodlands and inside the loop.  A lot of the devaluation will hit there first. 4951

@donnatella:
 
Lots of high rise cranes on the west side too, most for expansion of O&G jobs. I'll be moving to one of those new ones in May.... hopefully.
 
Word today at a meeting, my company is trying to not do any lay offs, even in the oil field. They want to retain employees. They have already implemented an alternative plan to cut spending. 4951

@doddlebug: so true.. most of the reporters nowadays are way too young to remember what we went thru during the 70's and 80's

@ET:
 
There are plenty of things to cut, just for one example: business critical travel only and in house training before vendor training. We had a huge training and travel budget last year, they slashed it. My personal training and travel expense last year alone was +14k. That was only going 3 places for a week each, with 6 classes, 3 were local classes. Compared to others in my group that was nothing. 4951

Banks and mortgage companies are doing the same things that caused the last housing collapse, so it's only a matter of time before it happens again.My son has been house-shopping but was discouraged by the inflated prices.  He has had several banks/mortgage companies pre-approve him for up to twice what he feels he can afford. 4951
