Counties
The record by place. Pieces on the state as a whole come last.
Bexar County
San Antonio: the Texas metro that skipped the boom
Bexar County never had a 2022 price spike, so it has no 2026 correction. It has a $3.6 billion truck plant, the largest joint base, and an arena fight.
Dallas County
Dallas: the brand moved out and the money stayed
Most of what the country calls Dallas happens outside Dallas County. Inside the line is the second largest finance labor market in America.
Gillespie County
Fredericksburg: a demand story with no cheap way in
Gillespie County trades at a multiple of its own region, the lodging market has turned, and the two easy entry points are closed.
Harris County
Houston: two sellers for every buyer, and the port just set a record
Harris County has the widest seller to buyer gap of any large metro in the country. The correction is in the listings. Everything else is at a record.
Nueces County
Corpus Christi: a record port on an eight percent reservoir
The third largest port in America just posted its two best quarters ever. The city behind it is rationing water. Both facts are the submarket.
Travis County
Austin: a market reset might just be what it needed
Travis County lost the migration story and a fifth of its peak home price. What stayed: a trillion dollar company, a full lake, and 131,000 downtown jobs.
Texas
Texas: supplier of last resort, buyer of first resort
The state set a power demand record in July while shipping record crude and LNG to a world short of both. What is pulling the other way, and how hard.
