Housing Reports

Data Series Description

Housing statistics in these reports are based on listing data from over 50 MLS (Multiple Listing Service) systems in Texas. The dataset includes listings for Single Family, Condominium and Townhouse properties, both New Construction and Existing Construction, sold through MLS systems. New home sales negotiated directly between the builder and buyer, outside of the MLS, are not included in this dataset. Existing home sales negotiated outside of the MLS are not included in this dataset. Statistics for each geography are calculated based on listed properties physically located within the named geographies in the reports. Maps of these geographies can be found on the Housing Activity data page.

Geographic Definitions

Metropolitan areas are constructed from constituent counties as delineated by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in 2023. Delineation information can be found in OMB Bulletin No. 23-01. Historical data is calculated as if the 2023 delineations had always existed so the data and reports are comparable over time.

Getting More Detail

The Center calculates more detailed statistics covering over 6,500 geographies in Texas. Geographies include zip codes, neighborhoods, school districts and political districts. Statistics are broken out by the individual Single Family, Condominium and Townhouse property types, both New Construction and Existing Construction sold through MLS systems.  This data is published exclusively for REALTORS^® through the Texas REALTORS^® MarketViewer portal.
