According to the Texas A&M Real Estate Center, the Texas housing market decelerated in 2018 with total sales rising only 1.7%. Sustained growth in the national and state economies supported housing demand, but low listings inventories and waning affordability continued to be affected. Builders ramped up construction activity, but supply constraints persisted for homes priced less than $300,000. Home prices were largely unaffected by the 2008 crash, according to Forbes, and have been climbing up about 10% per year since then. Although the market isn’t yet seriously overpriced, it’s on the way. Prices are expected to keep rising for several years.
