Big and expensive homes are expanding across Lubbock County.
A little more than a year ago, the Avalanche-Journal put together a slideshow on lubbockonline.com of the 50 most expensive homes in Lubbock County.
In updating the slideshow this year and expanding it to the top 100 homes, we found a story when we saw seven of the top 20 are new.
What’s fueling this resurgence in massive residences?
■ The local economy is strong.
■ Banks are funding more construction projects.
■ More high-paying positions are coming to the area.
