Texas Real Estate Market Analysis
Finding the right markets to invest in across Texas means looking past headline price figures. The PropertyIQ Score reads every metropolitan area and county in Texas on price momentum from Zillow and demand pressure from Realtor.com, validated against actual market outcomes from 2001 to 2023 — surfacing which markets are positioned to outperform their state and which are set to lag.
Texas has been the nation's most significant beneficiary of corporate relocation activity, with Oracle, Tesla, HP, and dozens of financial services firms establishing Texas headquarters. The state's no income tax environment, business-friendly regulatory climate, and relatively affordable land have driven explosive population growth. PropertyIQ tracks the diverging performance within Texas — from overheated Austin prices correcting back toward equilibrium to San Antonio and Houston markets absorbing sustained population growth without the same bubble dynamics.
Use PropertyIQ's scores and interactive analytics to find the right Texas market for your goals. Compare metros side-by-side, explore county-level data for granular insights, or use the Graphs tool to track historical trends for any Texas market over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many housing markets does PropertyIQ track in Texas?
PropertyIQ currently tracks 67 metro areas and 251 counties in Texas, each with its own PropertyIQ Score, home value trend, and days on market reading, refreshed monthly.
What does a PropertyIQ Score of 50 mean for a Texas market?
A score of 50 marks Texas's own state average demand momentum. PropertyIQ computes scores nationally across every US market, then calibrates the scale so a Texas market is read against Texas's own typical momentum rather than the national average. A market scoring above 50 is positioned to outperform the Texas average over the next three years, while one below 50 is positioned to lag it.
Where can I find ZIP code level housing data for Texas?
Every metro area and county listed on this page links through to its own ZIP codes, and each ZIP has its own market page with home value, rent, and days on market data. Start from a Texas metro or county below, then drill into ZIP codes for the most localized data available.
What data sources does PropertyIQ use for Texas market data, and how often is it updated?
PropertyIQ ingests fresh data every month from Zillow home values, Realtor.com days on market and price cut activity, Redfin, the US Census Bureau, FRED, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and the Bureau of Economic Analysis. Every metro, county, and ZIP page for Texas shows a last updated date, and PropertyIQ Scores are recomputed monthly once that new source data lands.
Which Texas metro area has the strongest housing demand right now?
As of the latest monthly refresh, Abilene, TX has the highest PropertyIQ Score among Texas metro areas, indicating the strongest demand momentum in the state relative to its own history. Rankings shift month to month as new home value, days on market, and price cut data arrives, so check back after each monthly update.
