Texas is currently facing a severe housing market affordability crisis exacerbated by soaring prices, rents, and overall housing expenses.

Since the onset of COVID-19, housing affordability in Texas has deteriorated due to escalating prices, rising rents, higher interest rates, and sluggish economic growth. In major urban centers like Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth, the average home now requires an income exceeding $100,000, presenting significant challenges for prospective homeowners. Renters are particularly affected, with a large segment spending more than half of their income on housing costs, severely limiting their ability to save, according to a Texas Tribune report.

Despite occasional downturns in home prices in certain areas, overall affordability continues to decline in the absence of policy interventions. State lawmakers are contemplating zoning reforms aimed at stimulating more housing construction, which could enhance market competition and alleviate affordability pressures. Finding sustainable solutions is crucial amidst Texas’ ongoing growth priorities.
