Texas

North Texas home sellers are retreating in the face of the coronavirus pandemic.

Home construction in Round Rock is slowing but hasn't stopped in the wake of COVID-19, local industry leaders said this week.

For Central Texas' long-sizzling housing market, 2020 is the year the unexpected catastrophic global event — the typical caveat in the region's otherwise ongoing rosy market forecasts — has actually come calling.

The fallout from the coronavirus could turn a situation in the U.S. where many homes were overvalued into a scenario where prices drop, a Fitch Ratings report said.

Houston-area home sales experienced another double-digit gain in February as buyers came out in droves to take advantage of low mortgage rates.

For the fifth consecutive year, the Texas housing market broke records in terms of the number of homes sold and median prices, according to the 2019 Texas Real Estate Year in Review report issued by Texas Realtors.

A strong economy and pressures from thousands of people moving to the state will accelerate Texas home prices in 2020.

Houston's market for new homes held its own in January as sales reached 1,319, according to HomesUSA.com.

Following a record 2019 for the Central Texas housing market, 2020 has kicked off in much the same way, with home sales and median sales prices again reaching record highs in January.

North Texas home sales started 2020 with a bang, surging 21% in January from a year earlier.
