Waco, TX Housing Market

The Waco, TX metropolitan area represents a distinct segment of TX's housing landscape. The PropertyIQ Score combines price momentum — how Zillow home values have trended over the past 3 and 12 months — with market-flow signals from Realtor.com that track how fast homes sell and how often sellers cut prices. The result is a single measure of how this market is positioned to outperform or lag its state over the next three years.

South Central housing markets are propelled by energy sector economics, corporate relocations, and rapid population growth. Texas metros in particular have seen explosive expansion, though affordability pressures are emerging in the fastest-growing areas.

Texas continues to be one of America's top relocation destinations, with no state income tax and a business-friendly regulatory environment driving corporate headquarters relocations and population growth.

Each month, PropertyIQ updates its score for Waco, TX using four inputs: Zillow ZHVI twelve-month and three-month momentum, Realtor.com median days on market, and the Realtor.com share of listings with price cuts. These four signals are combined into a single 1 to 99 score computed across all metro markets and calibrated so 50 represents the state average, making it a direct read of how this market is positioned to perform relative to its state.
