The national story says nobody's buying and nobody's selling. Texas closed sales have been running ahead of last year for months.
So what is the Texas housing market actually doing in 2026? Prices are basically flat, inventory is just past balanced, and sellers are negotiating. And the question every client asks, "is this 2008 all over again?", has a real answer in the numbers.
In this video:
- Why the "frozen market" story doesn't fit Texas
- Median price, inventory and days on market, per the Texas A&M Real Estate Research Center
- 2008 peak to trough: Dallas -10.5% vs. Las Vegas -64%
- Why Texas didn't inflate going into the last crash
- Where the deals are for buyers right now
