A non-diversified economy could put the housing market at the mercy of one industry.  

I feel like it's time to pull the trigger, but they are many uncertainties about today's economy.

So prior to become an investor, I was a car salesman at Toyota direct.

Would you still sell those two cars and get a cheap Honda Accord?

Wilmington on the other hand has more of a diverse economy and does not rely solely on the military.

@Matthew Tomme Houston's economy, and therefore the housing market, is all tied to the price of oil.

@Mariano Wahlmann,I live in Dallas and here is my perspective...Dallas is going through Economy Boom, Everyday 1000 people moving to DFW metroplex.Companies are declaring their relocation to DFW every week.There is new construction going everywhere, still they dont keep up with demand.I was here is 2008-2009, Dallas just slow down during that time period, never feel recession.Here are recent data from Forbes about Future growth...

It would be like leasing a car today and having the dealership tell over the next 12 months these are the 9 recalls they will be taking care of for you so expect to have to coordinate everything and deal with all of the disruptions.   

The expectation is that most Trump policies will have a negative impact on the economy so the possibility is that you will be facing a wide spread opportunity to buy  at depressed prices. 

In my experience people do not car as long as they are getting the price they agreed to in the contract.
