The Dallas-Fort Worth area was once again the top home building market in the U.S. last year, making it the third year in a row DFW saw the most home starts.

According to a new report from Metrostudy Inc., home builders began construction on roughly 34,750 homes in North Texas in 2018, edging out Houston’s total of 30,146 home starts and Central Florida’s 28,074 home starts.

Also noted in the report is that the median price for new homes throughout DFW actually dropped last year, indicating that buyers are opting for smaller, more affordable homes.  

New homes priced below $350,000 are what new construction buyers want most right now, especially as mortgage rates continue to increase. In 2018, new home starts in the DFW region were up by more than 4%,

The housing market in the Dallas-Fort Worth area just hit a record high, topping $510 billion in 2018. Last year alone the area’s home market added another $14.6 billion in value, at least according to newly released Zillow estimates.

Over the past five years, housing values in the area have increased more than 40-percent. Despite a slowing of home appreciation in the second half of the year for North Texas, median single-family home sales prices still rose for much of the year.

Despite this, Dallas-Ft Worth housing market value is still relatively modest when compared to housing markets such as New York/Northern New Jersey, San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego.

The more than 10-acre Xerox property at the northeast corner of North Central Expressway and Haskell Avenue just north of downtown will soon be home to a residential tower, luxury hotel, shopping, and restaurants plus two office towers, according to preliminary plans prepared by De La Vega Development.
