Texas Housing Market Trends by City

Here's what we're seeing across Texas: Texas currently leans buyer-friendly across most tracked markets with a current Market Pulse. Of the 380 cities with a current reading, 364 lean toward buyers, 14 are balanced, and 2 lean toward sellers. Keep in mind this counts covered cities — it isn't a statewide score weighted by population or sales.

Houston (Pulse 8), San Antonio (Pulse 14), Austin (Pulse 11) have current buyer-advantage readings. Cities with more active listings are shown first, using measurements from each city's Pulse date; zero scores are excluded from recommendations. A lower score isn't a guarantee of a discount — check the local report and comparable sales.

That city doesn't have a confirmed current score in this report — usually because there aren't enough recent sales or listings to draw a reliable conclusion. Its local report may still have useful measurements, and a missing score doesn't tell us which side has the advantage.

No. This overview counts conditions across covered cities, and competition can differ a lot by city, ZIP code, and price range. Recent comparable sales and current nearby listings matter most when choosing an offer or asking price.
