AI Market Analysis — Houston

Houston's housing market reflects the breadth of its economy — energy, medical, aerospace, and a port logistics cluster that continues to drive inbound moves. Prices remain materially below the Sun Belt average, giving the metro durable affordability appeal even as inventory climbs. Flood risk and insurance costs remain a structural overhang that buyers are increasingly factoring into neighbourhood selection.
