Mega Life Change Ahead - Need Advice

[Andrew Neal]

So I have just accepted a new job in the North Dallas area. I currently live in California in the Bay Area where my wife and I own our home and will be selling it since it will not cash-flow as a rental.

What market near Allen do you like? What are your feelings/opinions on the market activity and direction it's heading right now? We will most likely rent initially since we don't want to buy something right away and then not like the area. (this will be for a primary residence).

@Andrew Neal even though I am based in CA, I have had an office in Texas for 15 years. I started in Richardson, moved to Plano and now I have my office in Allen. Are you tech? Where you live really will depend on the type of life style you want. If  you like more of a city life style, I would personally stay along the 75 corridor in the above cities and maybe up to McKinney. Going West into Frisco would be a great choice. Going East toward Wylie, would not be bad if you want a more laid back feel.
