The higher the HAI, the more affordable a housing market is. And Henderson came out with the highest in the state. That's from talking to appraisers who are in and out of my office and who work in all three cities. And Henderson home prices are appealing to people who move from larger cities. Many find they can sell their old house, move here and either buy a similar home here much cheaper or buy a better home here.
People generally upgrade if given the opportunity.
