Crandall is a town of about 7,600 residents around 25 miles southeast of Dallas. In March, MovingPlace.com ranked Crandall’s 75114 ZIP code as the No. 2 hottest ZIP code in the country with 11.2 “moves per capita,” therefore making the tiny town the No. 1 hottest ZIP code in Texas as well.<\/p>\n

Looking at Redfin<\/a>, the median sale price for a home in Crandall is listed as $295,000, a 1.2% year-over-year increase. Notably, Crandall saw 18 homes sold this past February, a 28.6% year-over-year increase. Homes, meanwhile, are sitting on the market for a median of 85 days.<\/p>\n

The median home price differs on Redfin from what MovingPlace included in its report. The rankings have the median home price as $256,490, with residents owning a median household income of $88,013. MovingPlace pulled data from March, while Redfin’s used data from February, but it’s unclear what, if any, correlation the two reports share.<\/p>\n

Regardless, Crandall, like New Braunfels, stands out as a smaller community that Texans are willing to pay to move to in order to escape the big city.<\/p>\n

“Its continued presence in the top 10 (three months running) reflects the same pattern seen across the\u00a0DFW exurbs: buyers priced out of closer-in suburbs are willing to extend their commute in exchange for new construction and sub-$300k price points,” MovingPlace wrote in its report. “The market here is completely driven by inventory.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Crandall is a town of about 7,600 residents around 25 miles southeast of Dallas.
