In the most recent report from the Real Estate Center at Texas A&M University, the slowing energy sector’s drag on the Houston housing market remains evident. And, the report said, homes sales in the state for 2015 remain positive, but the rate of growth has lagged behind the nation as a whole. While the Lone Star State’s economy continued to grow, the pace has moderated. With a drop in energy prices and the continued strength in the U.S. dollar, those things that boost Texas’ economy are causing it the most pain.
- The Houston housing market is slowing due to the energy sector's woes.
- New home permits grew across Texas in October.
- Although the sector has largely recovered from the housing bust, permitting activity is still not at all-time highs.
