No, nothing is going to slow the non-stop growth of our city at this point. Rising appraisals are reflection of the growth Waco has had. If this was an outside city like China Spring (yes worry). Sure rising appraisals= more taxes. But we are growing at a rate that is astronomical. New restaurants coming weekly, clothing stores, and the big thing is businesses that cater to what you need/want. We are the hotspot in between Austin and Dallas. A new regional shopping center is opening up oni35 with nice hotels and apts. We owe a lot of this to fixer upper, but it was a growth ready to come before them. That's why Baylor invested so much in housing and tearing down run down areas, to build great student housing. Urban sprawl is real and we are literally in the middle of a Dallas and Austin sprawl. This is a GREAT time to invest in Waco. People like Shane Turner saw this before any of us. He's basically our downtown hero. Even if fixer upper left Waco, we are on so much of a charge of growth...Waco is where it's at. Home prices are at an all time high (people want to be here), rent is at an all time high (people want to be here). We are set to make great things happen in a city people overlooked. I hear the River is moving forward with a (San Antonio) style board walk. This will be after the growth and tests are done. Great time to live in Waco. Enjoy Wacoans!
