Texas is winning the home building race

Texans are known for their many phrases. They’ll be the first to remind you that everything’s bigger in Texas. The market for building new homes is no exception. 

According to new research by Trulia, Texas is leading America’s homebuilding race with Austin, Dallas and Houston collectively on track to build 130,000 new homes this year — an amount that would be more than 10% of all permits in the U.S. Specifically, the three Texas towns are building more than 45 markets combined. Other areas throughout the country are experiencing a boom in homebuilding, but most pale in comparison to Texas.
