Home prices across much of the nation ended the fourth quarter of the year up, including in some of the biggest Texas housing markets. According to the National Association of Realtors, home prices nationally saw a nearly 15-percent gain year-over-year at the end of 2020.

For Texas, the biggest jump came in Austin, which saw median home prices jump up more than 17-percent in the fourth quarter of 2020. Prices were also up in Houston and San Antonio. Both markets saw a more than 11-percent increase from the previous year.

In Dallas-Fort Worth, the gains were similar. The area experienced a jump of more than 10-percent year-over-year for the final few months of 2020. 

Experts credit some of the gains across the nation to record low mortgage rates.

Home prices are on the rise across the nation, and North Texas is certainly no exception. In late 2020, home prices in the Dallas area were up more than seven-percent over the previous year.

That’s according to recently released figures from the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller Home Price Index. Nationwide, home prices were up more than nine-percent when comparing November 2020 to November 2019. 

That marked the highest annual increase in more than six years. Despite the gains, the Dallas area actually had one of the smallest home price gains of any of the 20 cities Case-Shiller tracked in its survey. 

While demand is up, the number of homes on the market is down. Record-low mortgage rates are liking helping to fuel the demand.
