The drop in oil prices is is having a dramatic impact on this market and virtually all industries in it have been and may continue to be negatively impacted (see article below).I'm not sure if and if so when these oil companies will be able to transition to clean energy production, but it would be something I would be very concerned with when considering investing in Houston.www.houstonchronicle.com/business/economy/amp/The-deceptive-diversity-of-Houston-beyond-oil-8325303.php?

Then you may have some interesting energy plays if you can find areas with real estate slowed by lower oil/natural gas prices (especially if you are staying in TX, OK, LA, etc).
