Brandi, I feel the land prices will drop along with the price of oil. They are very high right now, especially if there is a decent home on the property.
Texas economy is going to skid to a crawl as all these oil field workers are laid off. Boom or bust.
I have heard just the opposite. I was listening to an economist the other night. Because of the growth in Texas, there is a huge shortage of skilled labor for construction. Contractors and construction unions are saying that they can put any displaced oil workers right to work and still have jobs available. This was confirmed by a rep from Associated General Contractors.
