The typical home value in Texas is $303K (-1.9% YoY) as of May 2026, per Zillow Research's state-level ZHVI (smoothed, seasonally adjusted, middle price tier). The two-year trend and growth rate are charted above and refresh monthly.
Is now a good time to buy a house in Texas?
The Narraitive does not provide real-estate, investment, or financial advice. Housing is local: statewide numbers hide city-level differences, so check the covered Texas city dashboards below against inventory, affordability, and rent-vs-buy math — and consult a licensed local professional for advice specific to your situation.

Methodology: state figures are Zillow Research’s state-level ZHVI (typical home value, middle price tier, smoothed and seasonally adjusted); city rows use the same city-level series documented on each city page. Data provided by Zillow (zillow.com/research/data), used with attribution; refreshed monthly. Never real-estate, investment, or financial advice. Corrections: hello@thenarraitive.com.
