Center leadership over the years.
Can a homeowner trim a neighbor’s tree when the limbs cross the property line? How do you get a Texas real estate license? What’s the median price of an existing Midland home? Why are water rights being bought and sold? My landlord won’t install a smoke detector. What can I do?
Everyone has real estate questions. The Texas Real Estate Research Center at Texas A&M University can help you find the answers.
The Center is the nation’s largest publicly funded organization devoted to real estate research. A ten-member advisory committee (nine appointed by the governor and one by the Texas Real Estate Commission) provides research guidance and approves the budget.
The Center’s staff conducts research on financial, socioeconomic, public policy, trade, legal, land use and local market analysis issues related to real estate.
The results of Center research are communicated in a variety of formats, including this website, print publications (many of which are available as free downloads), and videos. The Center’s flagship periodical—TG, a quarterly magazine—has a circulation of almost 220,000. Each week, an electronic real estate newsletter, RECON, is sent to nearly 19,000 subscribers. Our most requested publications (listed below) reflect the wide variety of issues our constituents want to know about.
- Texas Housing Insight
- Outlook for the Texas Economy
- Monthly Review of the Texas Economy
- Texas Border Economy
Texas Real Estate Research Center staff members also travel around Texas disseminating research findings through speaking engagements to industry and citizen groups and conferences such as the Annual Outlook for Texas Land Markets.
The Center is part of the Division of Research.
