Houston’s rental market is growing rapidly, with a surge in new inventory and modest rent increases. Renters now have more options, while investors continue to benefit from ongoing housing demand.
A 26% rise in listings means more leverage and negotiating power.
Builders and sellers are offering incentives such as closing cost assistance and rate buydowns.
Pairing current prices with concessions can help buyers secure long-term savings.
Well-presented, accurately priced homes are still moving quickly despite higher inventory.
Competition is growing, so standout marketing and presentation are more important than ever.
Offering buyer incentives, like an interest rate buydown credit, can help listings stand out.
