The report, A Decade in Texas Real Estate, features statewide and local-market data on total homes sold, median price, days on market and average price per square foot for each of the past 10 years.

“We’ve had a dynamic real estate market in Texas over the past decade,” said Marvin Jolly, chairman of Texas REALTORS®. “Some of the factors that have affected real estate transactions and property ownership include significant population growth, natural disasters big and small, new home technologies, and, of course, the pandemic.
