The average property value for Lubbock County, Texas, is up again this year.

Amid ongoing strong housing demand, home sales in Central Texas climbed to a new high for March, as did the median home-sale price, the Austin Board of Realtors said.

The housing market in Houston picked up in March as interest rates fell and the supply of properties for sale grew to its highest level in five months.

North Texas home sales rose slightly in March, but the 1% year-over-year gain in sales of houses by real estate agents wasn't enough to erase declines earlier in the year.

Homebuilders eased back on Dallas-Fort Worth construction in the early months of 2019.

February was a disappointing month for the Dallas-area housing market.

The average price of a new home rose in Texas' four largest markets in January, with Houston leading the gains, according to HomesUSA.com.

In a shift from the typical upward trend for Central Texas, home sales declined in January and home price appreciation slowed, the Austin Board of Realtors said.

A flood of North Texas houses hitting the market in January means it will take longer to sell a Dallas-Fort Worth home.

Home sales fell for the third straight month in January, as buyers closed on 362 fewer homes than they did last year at the same time, according to the Houston Association of Realtors.

The market for new homes in Houston is expected to be flat for the next couple of years amid a tight supply of lots, a local housing analyst said.

Community banks generally make digital a consumer play, but TransPecos Bank, with its BankMD brand, is focusing on doctor practices, which tend to weather economic downturns well.
