Austin Leads US in Starter-Home Affordability Gains 2026
In recent data, Austin stands out among U.S. cities for its significant improvement in starter-home affordability. The median income in Austin now surpasses what's required for a starter home by $16,452. This boost comes as home prices in the city have dropped 26–27% from their 2022 peak—a notable shift for buyers keeping a close eye on the market. While these price drops create new opportunities, high rents continue to make saving for a down payment a challenge for many. As a Broker Associate, RA at Compass, I keep a close watch on these trends to guide clients through the evolving landscape of homeownership options.

Texas Ranks Among Top Remodel-Activity States | Make Your Move
Texas continues to make a major mark in the remodeling world, holding the nation’s second-largest share in Q1 2026—about 7%, or roughly $20 billion in activity. That places our state firmly among the biggest drivers in the market, even as national trends shift. Alongside two other leading states, Texas remains a consistent powerhouse, contributing significantly to overall remodeling momentum despite cyclical slowdowns. The latest quarterly analysis, which looked at total dollar volume, market share, and changes in spending, really highlights how strongly Texas homeowners are investing in their properties. With sector confidence staying above 60 for the past year, it’s clear that steady remodeling activity is the norm here—right in line with the leadership we’ve seen in recent reports. As home equity rises, many Texans are channeling that value into projects that not only refresh their living spaces but also support aging in place. It’s an exciting time to see how these trends shape our neighborhoods.
