Leasing across Texas

Texas is the fastest-growing U.S. state by absolute population and second-fastest by net rental demand. Austin, Houston, and the DFW metroplex anchor the leasing footprint, with San Antonio and El Paso adding lower-rent depth. Aggressive 2024-26 multifamily delivery has cooled rent growth in Austin and Sunbelt-Dallas, creating rare tenant-favourable conditions in luxury Class-A — but Class-B and single-family demand remains tight.
